IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, here we find the indications of where
distresses may be corrected, though there is not sufficient
evidence, except at times, that would INDICATE any disorder
in this direction - but the pressure, as is changeable in the
physical forces, indicates there is an unbalanced condition
between the circulations of the larger eliminating organs
of the system, or an unstabilized condition in the hepatic
circulation. These conditions are not always present, but
there are through the various channels in which drosses, or
refused forces in the system which show a sedimentation, must
at times appear in the eliminations from the kidneys; also
that there is some disorder in the metabolism of the blood,
or the heart's action itself. These conditions have not
become organic; neither have they as yet, as WE find, become
what would be termed constitutional; that is, the system has
not adjusted itself to the existent disturbance so as to make
it hard to combat; not as yet.
IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, this, in the cerebrospinal, we find
rather a basis of the condition, and that the condition is
WITH other influences produced by the specific condition
existent in the 9th dorsal region, or BOTH branches of the
solar plexus center. Hence at times we find the body, after
an evening's rest feels exhilarated - yet will fag through
the day. At others there will be the opposite condition -
rather indisposed and dull of mornings, but as the day wears
on feeling better.
IN THE FUNCTIONING OF ORGANS THEMSELVES, with these disorders
radiating from liver, spleen, pancreas, kidneys, there may
be expected that there are VARIATIONS as to the reflexes
produced in the functioning organs; though FEW - except these
as named - show any MATERIAL distress from the condition,
though there is, to be sure, a disorder through the colon
itself, from the periods of overloading the same without
the peristaltic movement to carry on the proper eliminations
through the alimentary canal. Drosses occur there at times.
THIS has been blamed for the disorder. The dizziness,
the non-activity of the whole system - this is rather an
indication. The CAUSE, as we find, is emanating from that
condition existent in the ganglia above and below the 9th
dorsal center.
In meeting the needs, then, we would find that - with the
proper adjustments, either PROPERLY chiropractically made,
or BETTER with the proper manipulation and adjustment
OSTEOPATHICALLY made - the body would show material
improvement, would there be the same precautions taken WITH
the invigoration as will be felt from same, as there has been
heretofore - with the diet, the activities, the exercises,
and the eliminations. These may be aided by ADDITION
of varied properties. THIS, we would find, would aid
materially. Prepare as in this manner:
To 16 ounces of distilled water add 3 ounces dried garden
sage. Reduce by slow simmering, not boiling, to 1/2 the
quantity. Strain while warm and add simple syrup (but this
made of BEET sugar) 1 ounce. Dissolve 15 grains ambergris
in 1 ounce alcohol. Add that of gin 4 ounces - Gordon gin,
or this may be made with the Juniper berry or extract, WITH
WEAKENED alcohol, and Cinnamon (in stick) 1 dram. Shake the
solution together before the dose is taken, which should be
teaspoonful half an hour before the meals.
Eat the meals, but beware of meat, too much sugars, or of
condiments. Other foods, especially those of seafoods, may
be taken in moderation.
As to the MENTAL body - this needs MUCH attention. While
there may not be said it has been neglected, yet it has NOT
been kept in attunement with the best as may be ACCOMPLISHED
by the body; for the mental IS the builder, and while the
body is NOT an idealist, there SHOULD BE the ideal FOR the
body, that the life in all its phases may be MADE to be not
ONLY interesting and worthwhile, but GOOD FOR SOMETHING - NOT
just GOOD!
In the ABILITIES of the body's application, MUCH may be said.
FIRST, though, know self - and conquer self; and in knowing
self, and in being TRUE to self, the body-mental nor physical
will be false to any element of life's experience. Be in
that position of not GAINING or ATTAINING, but worthy by the
activities first MENTALLY - and THEN materially - of being in
that position of needing and worthwhile TO the body, and it
(that desired) will BE the recompense.
Ready for questions.
(Q) What causes irritation on hand between thumb and
forefinger?
(A) The disturbance in the circulation.
(Q) Give cause and treatment of pain at times between eyes
and over nose?
(A) This has been given.
(Q) What can the body do to make life more complete and
satisfied?
(A) That as has JUST been given, in knowing self, BEING
worthwhile - NOT just good, NOT just tolerably moral,
but good FOR something! In applying self, THIS the body
SHOULD know - in every activity of life there is NO need in
attempting to be in that position of rendering a service to
WHATEVER may be worshiped, but in lending - in aiding - in
assisting - NOT other than by counsel and by precept and
by ensample to thine brother, to thine friend, to thine
neighbor, is LENDING to the Lord.
(Q) What must the body do to find the right girl to marry?
(A) Act, live, in that way and manner as is befitting one
DESERVING the kind, the ideal - and it will COME to pass.
(Q) What causes inclination to nervousness, and how overcome
it?
(A) That's just been given, as that condition existent in
the 9th dorsal region - in the plexus above and below the
9th dorsal.
(Q) How can self-consciousness be overcome?
(A) Lose self in doing something for someone else!
(Q) What hobby should body pursue?
(A) There are several that have the call for the body. In
gathering data of any nature, is the MOST interesting, the
MOST beneficial for self, for others.
(Q) How can body improve memory and power of concentration?
(A) By acting in that manner in which self is lost
in that being done. This is the BEST manner to lose
self-consciousness, and to become in the way of power
in personality, and in being JUST one's self.
We are through.

REPORTS
7/30 [
5420]'s letter: "...Since my reading I have been under
treatment by Reilly [H. J. Reilly Health Service] of Broadway
and 63rd Street, New York, and after ten days' treatment I
believe I felt as well as I have in some time, but I have
since developed severe pains across my chest and along the
side of my chest bone, right and left side, and they have
been very persistent. I feel as if there may be gas and
indigestion. Then, results are all you have said - languid
feeling; peppy feeling is absent; mornings on awakening,
dull. Lately I have had no treatment and must confess to
neglecting medicine. Is Reilly doing, or has he done well,
by me? Should I have gone to Dr. Brill as suggested by Dr.
Lydic? What shall I do to eliminate the pains? It has been
several years since I have had anything of this nature. I
shall be very grateful for an early Check reading. I would
like to restore myself to my condition that showed promising
improvement when Reilly first started with me.
"I believe I told you I was in the woolen business and I
would be greatly flattered if you would consent to send me
your measurements for a suit which I would like to make up
with my material. I trust you will do me that honor..."
