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 existing conditions, also suggestions for help and relief of this body; answering the questions, as I ask them.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body: [5312].
3. As we find, there are disturbances which are hindering the body from the more normal activity. These, as we find, have been rather a combination or complication of disorders, and have taken a great deal of the vitality and energies from the body.
4. There are some disorders in the circulation, heart's activity, gall duct area and the effect that this all has upon the other organs, as the kidneys and lungs, of eliminations. These hinder the body in such measures as to cause lack of virility; and thus weak especially in the lower limbs, knees, feet, hips, pains at times in the locomotory centers. All of these, as we find, are the effects of this long series of disorders.
5. This may be aided, and yet it will require some systematic activities of the body and yet as much as is desirable, for the body lacks most of all routine, and the body being in the open where it would be much, as it were, "roughing it" with plenty of outdoors, plenty of good substantial food, yet well prepared.
6. This type of activity, then, would be most advisable for the body in the present. Comfortable surroundings, yes, yet where there would be plenty of exercise to be had; while the body won't take it very well in the beginning, but being in the open, being where there are the attempts to move about will add much more than doses of medicine in the present.
7. Then, when there has been a period of some six weeks or eight weeks of this character of activity, it would be much preferable that the suggestions then be made.
8. This should be, then, in the open in the Maine woods or such, or the Canadian woods or such, but where there is the outdoors, and stay outdoors most of the time. Pleasant surroundings, yes, but where this sort of activity will be most easily had.
9. Then in six to eight weeks we would give the instructions as to how, through the coming period, we may build back.
10. Do keep an activity in self, not doubting self, nor the ability of the body to react to conditions about it, or else you will lose hold on yourself and become morose and lacking the ability to replenish and resupply the greater energies of the body. Do that.
11. Then in six to eight weeks we would come again.
12. Ready for questions.
13. (Q) Is there a reason for fainting, or a feeling of fainting, when speaking in public?
    (A) Weakness, incoordination between sympathetic and cerebrospinal. The environs as in the woods, or as on water and woods, is what is needed most for the body.
14. (Q) What about the present doctoring?
    (A) Nature will do much more than all that may be added in the immediate present.
15. (Q) Have I recovered from my illness of the last two years?
    (A) Not sufficient for the greater activity until recuperations are in order. Do these. Have someone who may massage the body, to rest occasionally, but this may be done by companion, and much better conditions may be had in these directions.
16. We are through with this reading.

    (Let us hear when you have gotten started with these treatments or environs suggested, so that we may make an appointment to give further instructions in six to eight weeks.)
