TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [5582]. Now, while the conditions as disturb the body are aggravating, for the whole of the vitality of the physical body is being attacked, as it were, by the inability of the system to eliminate properly - this the condition produced, NOT the cause.
2. These, then, are the conditions as we find them with this body, [5582] we are speaking of:
3. There are specific conditions as cause the distress. These are of minor natures, apparently, in some directions; in others they have builded such conditions as to be hard to overcome; yet there may be builded and applied that for the system as will give relief and a much nearer normal functioning of the system for many days, would be the results of the application of that as will aid in setting up the eliminations in such a manner that drainages in the system - as affect the nerve ends, as affect eyes, speech, hearing, locomotion, all of those ganglia from which the radial activity of the functioning of the system as related to these portions so disturbed - may be stimulated, and stimulated in such a manner as not only to RELIEVE the distresses, but as that the system may even gain strength and vitality, and there be stored vitality rather than the continual strain on system as to produce for the mental and the physical those of the dissatisfied, the distressed conditions; and new hope, new life, new reactions, may be the results from the stimulation and from the CORRECTIONS brought about in the system through such stimuli.
4. Then, to meet these conditions, we would first have those of the manipulations osteopathically given, that come more OFTEN in the nature of the massage, but DEEPLY given, rather that the correction so often of centers that show that they are losing their elasticity, through the congealing of cartilaginous forces in the cerebro-spinal. These, especially, should come from those portions of the system from the 12th dorsal upward, and extending out to all of the centers that have to do with locomotion of every nature. Following these manipulations, there should be applied those of the VIOLET ray, and especially with that applicator as would encase, or be active on each side of the cerebro-spinal system; so that the centers of the SYMPATHETIC, WITH their conjunction with the cerebro-spinal, will receive the application. In the deeper manipulations, let these be for the upper portion of the nerve system - especially those of the nerves that lead to the face, the head, the eyes, the throat - all of these need especial attention.
5. Well, too, that the body rest easily. This will be better accomplished with the use of the Radio-Active Appliance.
6. LATER, a stimuli through the Radium Appliance will be beneficial - those of the Double X type. Do not use these, however, until at least ten days of manipulation and the plain violet ray has been applied, see?
7. In the diet, be mindful that the eliminations from the alimentary canal are set up.
8. Then, there should be particular attention given to the activity of the kidneys, that these do not become OVER active, nor that they become too slow, or too low, in activity. The BETTER application for these is for the body to drink MORE water, an abundance of water, that their activity with the increasing of the ALIMENTARY canal eliminations would be helpful.
9. Use the Occy-Crystine in the stabilizing of the acid and alkalin reaction in system; taking, in the beginning, half a teaspoonful in TWO glasses of water. In two to three days increase this to a teaspoonful in THREE to FOUR glasses of water. Later it may be increased to a teaspoon and a half in FOUR glasses of water. This will assist in eliminations and in the CORRECTION of that drainage set up in the body THROUGH the manipulation.
10. The diet should be those of fruits, cereals, and of vegetables that carry not so much of the weight as of the JUICES of same. Little meats. Some fish may be taken, but none of the heavy or red meats - unless the JUICES of these are taken; THESE may be taken, but NOT the flesh so much itself - even were the meats massaged or chewed very well by the body and the pulp or the refuse discarded and not swallowed, would be well - see? Ready for questions.
11. (Q) Should the manipulations be given each day?
    (A) Would be found much BETTER were the manipulations given each day. These may be had by finding one in SYMPATHY with that being attempted to be brought about for the reactions in this body, of [5582] - see?
12. (Q) Considering conditions, surroundings of this body, who would you advise?
    (A) One that's in sympathy with those conditions being attempted to be brought about. This may be obtained through any of those ALREADY in sympathy with such applications. We are through for the present.
