TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here. Now, the conditions as we find here are of rather the extensive or extended nature, and the vitality of the body labors against great odds.
2. First we would give that these conditions, as we find, may be aided to where the return of strokes might be put off, or prevented altogether; for while the centers are weakened, and the vitality is working against odds, these may be aided in such a way and manner that the physical forces will respond better. The central nervous system has labored under such distresses as to prevent coordination between locomotion and activity of the rest of the system, or the incoordination between muscular reflex and nerve impulse is nil. Not that these are ENTIRELY gone, for these ARE active, but at a very subdued or slow condition. Paresis or agitans may be the active force from EITHER, but the SOURCES of these do not prevent the system from responding to coordinating influences that may hinder or prevent the soon or ever return of this reaction. These, as we find, would be best aided by the use of those vibrations as would emanate from the use of the heavy Radium Appliance, used across the solar plexus, see? especially those radiating ends from those of the umbilicus, especially those in the UPPER portion. We would ALSO add - and this would be given only one day, then rest a day - one day, then rest a day - and TWICE each week we would add those vibrations from the Radio-ACTIVE Appliance that CARRIES Gold, in that proportion of one grain to one ounce of distilled water. Do that. Ready for questions.
3. (Q) What causes the terrific pains in the arms and legs?
   (A) The locomotary centers attempting to coordinate with impulses form the central nervous system. These radiating from the brachial plexus in the 1st and 2nd dorsal and in the sacral and lower lumbar plexus, or that of the great locomotary center to limbs, see? That's why both Radium Appliance and Radio-Active Appliance are given in the differentiation in the system. Use the Radio-Active Appliance the days when the Radium Appliance is NOT applied, for one works directly in attenuation to the nerve and blood, while the other is taking FROM the system such that the body may COORDINATE in reaction, see?
4. (Q) Why does the body get dizzy when it sits up or stands?
   (A) The central nervous system being attacked, or that through which all balance is kept - it LOSES its sense of balance by incoordination between impulse and reaction, see?
5. (Q) Do you think the sickness will affect the teeth?
   (A) It may.
6. (Q) Will this body be able to walk without aid?
   (A) We would say that it would, will these be applied.
7. (Q) Any other suggestions you would give at this time for the body?
   (A) In the matter of diet, we would give that that is not too much of a BODY building, but that that is nerve and BLOOD building - THESE are the better elements at the present time, and with the vibrations to be set up. Do this at present, and after twenty-eight to thirty days we would give other directions. We are through for the present.
