TEXT

1. GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find at the present time; giving the cause of the existent conditions; also the treatment for the cure and relief of this body.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here.
3. Now, we find there are some unusual circumstances and conditions as surround the physical condition as HAS existed with this body; yet those conditions as have been administered have brought about bettered conditions for the body. There has been a difference of opinion as concerning that which produced this ailment or disability to the body. These, as we see, are both incorrect and both in a part correct; for that producing same has come from without, and in taking hold in the physical reaction of the body has produced these unusual conditions.
4. The conditions to be met most in that of building resistance in the system, that there may be kept a normal equilibrium in the elements and constituents of the blood supply to meet the needs of the body to combat with the condition as has been produced, that has attacked both the assimilating system and the eliminating system, through the action of those conditions entering the body from without, forming a bacilli in the body that has produced these conditions in the mucus membrane of the intestines and the lung itself. These, as has been given, have been met in an extraordinary way and manner, and the building of the resistive forces will bring about normal mental conditions, and normal physical forces for the body; yet it would be better were there changes made in the surroundings of the individual - either that of the far West or of a higher altitude than at present, with more of the open surroundings for the body - see?
5. That of the diet and the exercise to be watched closely. Little medicinal properties will be needed from this on. Do that. Ready for questions.
6. (Q) Of what should the diet consist?
   (A) In keeping with that as has been given that must be builded in the body. We are through.
