IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, we find this is very good in many ways,
yet there are specific conditions in the nerve effect as is
brought or manifested in the body, for we have specific
conditions in the body that produce much of the condition,
and that producing same has been of long standing. This we
find of a specific nature, shown in the second dorsal, in the
third and fourth cervical specific, though other vertebrae
and other centers are impinged and affected by conditions.
This reaction then to the system is particularly to the
functioning of the sensory organism, as is shown in ear, in
eyes, in the sense of smell. One becoming exaggerated, the
other becoming below the normal, for the auditory nerves are
particularly involved in conditions, so that nutriments to
the portion of the concha cochlea itself find there is not
sufficient circulation to remove used forces, for we find
with the functioning of every organ in sensory system, or in
any portion of the body with the functioning, the force as is
exercised is expended in the physical body. When the
circulation becomes impaired, or the nerve that supplies with
the tissue and muscular forces, that circulation to nerve
being deficient, then we find we have either an overtaxing,
as we have in the sense of smell, and taste, or we have a
subnormal, as we have in ears and eyes at times. Eyes not as
much as ears, you see. In the forces then as we have in
this, we have a condition in the cerebro-spinal system and an
effect in the sensory organism in their functioning from
these conditions existing.
IN THE ORGANS OF THE BODY, we find as these: This condition
also as we have given in the nerve forces affects reflexly
the secondary cardiac plexus, producing irritation from dust
and from the conditions under which the body labors.
Irritation to the upper portion of the lungs. This as a
reflex force.
In the organs then, we find as these:
Brain forces well balanced.
Sensory organism as we have given.
The throat, bronchials, we have had some irritation, do have
irritation at times, in the region of the tonsil and the
epiglottis. This we find is an effect. This produces though
at such times an extra secretion to the body and is a drain
on the lymphatic circulation and one condition that depletes
the replenishing forces in cellular forming conditions in
body.
In the lungs we have this effect. These may be with the
conditions, with the odors, with the surroundings, with the
condition in the nerve system, unless corrected, produce a
physical condition that may become very detrimental and
destructive to tissue in the body, yet taken at this time,
and with corrections, may be easily subdued and brought to
the normal forces in this body. This we find affects
reflexly through the aorta artery, the upper digestion, for
we have reflex forces to the cardiac end of stomach proper,
and this produces then in the system this effect. At times
this body is very hungry. At other times, when it should be
apparently, food becomes nauseating, though not suffering
from indigestion, digestion is overflowed, or the seat of
digestion overflowed, by the blood supply attempting to
produce the equalization through the cardiac forces, for with
the secondary cardiac involved in the upper dorsal, and with
the cardiac end of stomach involved by blood supply to the
pneumogastric and hypogastric center, we have this overflow
of blood forces.
Through the rest of the organs of the body, these are very
good. A taxing at such times of an overflow to the kidneys
and the bladder which gives some trouble to the body, though
these are entirely reflex.
R E L I E F, then to bring the normal forces to this body,
the body of necessity, with the conditions, must be very
persistent and consistent with those conditions that would
and will bring the permanent relief to the body from such
conditions.
First, we would, through the chiropractic forces, adjust the
conditions in the cervical and dorsals. Not in the manner as
would be ordinarily taken, neither must the body get the
force that these adjustments are to make or bring the cure to
the body, for these adjustments only need be taken twice each
week, but each evening the body must exercise head and neck
with these movements: Persistently and consistently keep
this up until we find the equalization of the circulation,
which will bring relief to the condition in the sensory
organism. First, bend neck, head, and with the body
perfectly erect, sitting or standing (standing preferred),
forward three times, backward three times, to the left three
times, to the right three times, circular motion to the right
five circles, circular motion to the left five circles. We
will find this will bring dizziness to the body at first.
After this has been taken, and the body lying prone, attach
this vibration to the body. Prepare a battery in this manner
and form:
Two bars carbon steel, half inch round, four inches long,
fastened together with glass or insulation between small
insulated copper wires attached to one end of each bar. To
the other end of each wire attach small plates. These will
be arranged so that one end, or one small plate may be
attached to the wrist, the other to the ankle. When ready
for use place these bars in ice water. Let them remain on
body for hour, hour and a half. We will find we will
equalize the circulation in the body, assisting both the
condition in pulmonaries, the condition in circulation,
removing much of the condition where that the body suffers
from where we have improper circulation to the capillaries,
where we have dry places, burning places over the cuticle, we
have at present. This should be done each evening, for we
will bring real rest to the body with this.
For the local condition in lung forces, use an inhalant of
this: To four ounces of grain alcohol, add:
Eucalyptol..................10 minims,
Oil of White Pine ...........5 minims,
Rectified Oil of Turp........5 minims.
Shake this solution, keep well corked, but inhale through the
mouth, inhale the fumes as will come from this solution,
taking none of the solution in the system, only the fumes
from same. Do this at least twice each day, or with any
depression as we find appears at times, any cough. We will
find we will bring relief to this body. Do this
consistently, persistently. We will find we will bring
normal forces in eight to ten months. Not necessary that
chiropractic forces be kept this long, but the adjustments
should be made, but the vibrations from battery forces, the
exercises of the head and neck must be kept up.
