TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here. The abnormal conditions in this body, here, Mrs. [5706], of whom we are speaking, has to do with the functioning of the organs indirectly in this body. The effect comes through the nerve forces supplying the ganglia along the lower part of the spine, in the lower lumbar and in the sacrum. Now, these are the conditions as we find in this body here.
2. First, we find the circulation throughout the system very good, that is, the circulation of the blood forces show that all portions of the body are fairly well fed throughout - the supplying forces of the blood being very good, both through the white and red blood supplying forces in the body. In some portions of the body we find parts of the nervous system that are disturbed by nerve forces that have been depleted by contraction or misplacement as it were of the nerve forces. We first find the trouble beginning through the extremities or through a deadening of the ... [word(s) missing] supply to the lymphatics, or the proper distribution of these forces needed to give incentive to the capillary forces to supply the extreme lower end - here we are speaking of the front of the lower side (left), or the lower left limb. They in turn affect other portions of the body by refraction, until the whole becomes affected by this condition. The misplacement of the nerve forces in their distribution, as supplied by the nerve tissue, does not give the proper incentive for action along the fourth lumbar ganglia and through the sacrum.
3. The treatment of this body has been only to give temporary relief, more of the mind than in body, and has not acted within the system. Now, to relieve this body we would apply three specific treatments. First, by massage or manipulation along the lower portion of the body, not to the left specially, but to the right side of the spinal column. As this is applied to the system from time to time, we would take within the system this:

   Chloride of Gold............15 grains,
Bicarbonate of Soda..........8 grains.
Dissolve in 15 ounces of pure or distilled water.

   The dose would be one half teaspoonful in a glass of water twice a day. After this has been given into the system for three successive days, we would then begin with the treatment of the ultra violet rays all along this entire portion of the body, with this in the system, and the manipulation kept up to produce relaxation. Do this and we will find that relief will be brought to this body.
4. (Q) Where would be the proper place to get this treatment?
   (A) We find this treatment in three medicinal schools - one in the application of massage or adjustment of these portions of the body, the homeopathic treatment and electrical forces.
5. (Q) At what city would we find this best?
   (A) The medicinal properties can be taken from any of the homeopathic schools and given into the system. Gold is given to act as a revibratory force, the violet ray so that we would replace the supplying forces and increase the supply. We revive with the violet ray, then with the adjustment, the forces are guided through the proper channels. All must work together. If this is done, we will bring relief to the body. This will prevent the going forward of the latent disturbing forces. It will take some three or four months before we have proper use of the limb.
6. (Q) Is the climate all right at home?
   (A) This has nothing to do with the conditions in the system, it is within the system and not caused from climatic conditions. The spiritual forces must operate with the physical. Relief must come to this body through the spiritual forces, as well as mental and physical.
