TEXT

EC: Yes, we have the body here - the - yes, [5685]. Now in the general physical forces of the body, these as we find when all conditions are taken into consideration are very good. There are however some hindrances that with the care or conditions as may be given will make for a better balancing of those forces, as affect the metabolism of the system. These then as we find are the conditions with this body, [5685] present in this room.
In the blood supply, this very good so far as the quantity and the quality; in some respects there are those conditions as will be found that hinder in the metabolism that are produced, not by the blood, but the effects of same are seen in the manner of the circulation through the system. This being rather that effect in the return than of the distribution of the circulation in the nerve system or systems. These we find show a very ready response throughout both in the sensory nerve system and the cerebro-spinal, in the manner as the disturbances are caused in the circulation, the superficial activity of the nerves are sympathetically more involved than those of the cerebro-spinal, as disorders show in the activity of the reverse in the exterior circulatory system.
In the organs of the body, in brain forces and brain reaction, these are very good. In the organs sensory system these show well kept, well balanced reaction, that those forces of the imaginatory as well as the reaction in the nerve forces, sensory organism are well, so that at present these activities are exceptional to this body. In the throat, bronchi, lungs, there is those tendencies for an irritation to arise at times from those disturbances in the superficial circulation as indicated by the returning of the circulation through the veins rather than the arteries receiving the greater disposition. This as we find produced by those disorders as make for the metabolism disturbances and produce in the bronchi some irritation at times. This reveals conditions, rather than a cause is an effect of disturbances, rather than the cause of disturbances.
In the lungs whole of respiratory system, very good save when some minor irritation by disturbances of the sympathetic reflex makes for some restlessness. Headaches show an effect of a disturbance, but no organic condition, as of organic infestation. The digestive system, we find these show for the reaction of well discernments of conditions that are produced for the better reactions in the system, though those disturbances for the metabolism as we find are produced from an effect as is created in the spleen, rather than those of the liver, or the negative whole [pole?] of the hepatic circulation, though the sympathetic disturbances from the condition produces an activity in the kidney or glands of minor irritation, though no organic disturbances of the liver or kidney but a sympathetic reaction from the left portion of the spleen itself, hence those reactions of the sympathetic as they affect or are affected in the distribution of the corpuscles in this organ, there it...to the digestive or assimilation system of the body itself. The drosses from the system show for conditions that disturb, but no abnormalcy in their reactions. The glands in the pelvic organ and relative reactions in the hepatic circulation make for a better building than is ordinarily indicated in one of this age. In meeting then, the disturbances of the system as we would find, there will be greater relief found by the stimulating of those centers in the sympathetic and cerebro-spinal plexes, as covering [governing?] the intake from the nervous system to the spleen area, and we would create a better balance and relieve the tendency of irritation that occur in the system and that makes for this unbalance in metabolism at times. This as we find may be stimulated through application and massages either given in the manner of neuropathic followed with the use of the violet ray, not the ultra-violet ray when there has been taken in the system those properties in the ash, as will release in the system greater quantity of oxygen that may make for a better balance in the eliminating system. We would not take more than 1/2 grain at a dose, and this about twice a week, this given the ash 30 to 40 minutes before the application of the violet ray to the center in the 4th, 5th, and 6th dorsal area, the treatment, not of adjustment rather the stimuli of the grangular [ganglia], giving stimuli to the spleen area, this stimulation beginning at these centers, the radial forces of the nerve of the sympathetic 4th and 5th dorsal area, then applying immediately after the manipulation the violet ray. These would bring to the system a better reaction mentally.
(Q) Constipation...?
(A) With the amount of changes as is indicated in the system with the change of secretion from the spleen will aid the paustolic [peristaltic] movements of the system. Regards gas action of the oxygen of the decomposed carbon, will release same by the application of the violet ray, this will reduce the amount of gas and increase secretion throughout the intestinal system.
(Q) [Question not recorded]
(A) As has been given from that as has been the effect as comes the functioning of the kidney will be aided by this manipulation and this stimuli to the organs that make for the activity to the eliminating system.
(Q) [Question not recorded]
(A) This produced by the metabolism of the system causes that fullness of flow of impulse with the circulation exterior which is slow in the stimuli of the 5th or 4th dorsal center gives that impulse that gives back to that center to stimulate this plexus. This will reduce disturbances.
(Q) [Question not recorded]
(A) Those that carry to greater amount of starch that produces gases until at least the digestion as to assimilation receive greater impulses.
(Q) [Question not recorded]
(A) Mornings: Those of citrous fruits, dry cereal, but not these combined, for with any of the properties that make for an unbalancing produces a gas. Cakes, corn cakes, not any fried foods should scarcely be taken.
Lunch: Green vegetables, that with an oil dressing, especially that of the olive oil, which aids in giving to the intestinal food values... muco-membranes. At the same meal or at various periods may be taken meat juices or broths, no thickening, as this produces acid. It may be used with barley or such, better than rice though rice cakes are well.
Evening: Moderate amount of meats, sea foods, but no meats that carry a great amount of fats.
(Q) Fowls...?
(A) Fowl, or wild game good.
(Q) Exercise...?
(A) Exercise just sufficient that the digestive system may have the impulse from the activity from the frame as walking, as of general or genteel [gentle?] exercise for the absorption of the upper portions of the body.
(Q) Business...?
(A) In this particular period we would find there are many that would not only be of interest but would offer an opening for the body to render a service to the public and his fellowman. These we find of particular interest in the research of such things as pertaining to physical system, not so much in that as may be termed of the general use in medicine or drugs, rather than special disturbances in the human body.
(Q) Dr. Seff...?
(A) There is the necessity of a considerable amount of research work in the application of this in specific conditions and cases. In the marketing of such a property necessitates that of considerable influences brought to bring those that are making research in this particular direction to such interest. A great deal of good may be accomplished by this. However, for any such formula for the great financial success, it must be reduced to such proportions as for distributing to the public, as well as the subscriptions.
(Q) High...
(A) With some clarification or with some experiment 6 to 8% effective.
(Q) Money...
(A) We would require some more experiment.
(Q) [Question not recorded]
(A) Be successful if it is not allowed to be distributed as to a great cure-all.
(Q) [Question not recorded]
(A) The necessary experiments with the various effects as have had upon those in the using of same.
(Q) Fungus...
(A) In this same thing it is necessary that there be that experiment, and that it is not used in a CURE-ALL for all kinds of fungus.
(Q) Present for...
(A) Complete for a certain type of fungusite [fungucide?].
(Q) Immediate presentation of same...
(A) There is.
(Q) Best channels...
(A) Through the distributors as those in the same line, produce, or is to give the advantage in that particular field.
(Q) Research work development in the air-cooling or refrigerator?
(A) This depends upon what time and attention may be given to this particular field of experimentation.
(Q) Seeking for a method to take from tobacco, its bitter taste, what can be done?
(A) There has been those usages of certain elements to act upon that in those of tobacco to reduce the harshness as is present in the greater portion of the fibre of such plants, these as we find may be best reduced on the condition given to the manner the tobacco passes through those first stages, in curing or sweating as it does at its first season. Place with same the element that makes for the reduction of saltpeter through absorption as these are being cured. This will reduce this condition that causes those reactions.
We are through.

REPORTS

11/30/32 Mr. David E. Kahn's letter to EC:
Mr. [5685] came in to see me today and stated that everything that he had heard in the reading were things he had discussed with you and that he at the present time was rather negative as to joining the organization, or becoming an active member.
I had my usual discussion with him and he admitted that it would be very unusual had he gotten all of this information without having told you very much about himself.
I did not think he came just for the purpose of telling me that, but while here, he said that he would like very much to have a reading on his brother's wife, so I immediately cut him off from discussing her condition and also informed him that it would be better to take it up with you direct and send in his application for membership; otherwise the reading could not be given.
We had a very cordial visit but I have learned from friends of his that he likes to get as much for nothing as he possibly can get. He likes to visit and see psychic phenomena but he takes his time about standing part of the expenses so we will follow the advice of the reading and wait, as far as he is concerned.
There is no question he is deeply interested so I would suggest that if he writes for a reading and does not attach everything that belongs to the application, in this one instance, I would recommend that you return it to him and tell him that you are operating under laws of Virginia, Inc.
