In the nerve system we find the centers, especially, those
to the extremities or that about the brachial plexus and the
sacral plexus, the excitement to these centers produced by
the strain on the nerve system. The recuperative forces are
very good in nerve energy on account of the abundance of the
white blood forces, but it is to the detriment of the better
or higher forces of the vital portions of the body, for with
the overstrain on the system, this once broken would be very
detrimental to the whole body. In some respects we find
those elements of high temperature as has been produced in
times back in this body have been to a good for the body,
but the vitality and resistance was broken in many respects,
hence the care the body should take, else we will find that
the long after-effects will produce to the ligaments in
the extremities, this lack of the sufficient secretions to
produce the perfect functioning of these portions of the
system, see, or, in other words, will produce stiffened
joints and ligaments in the extremities in the years to come.
In the functioning of the organs themselves, we find the
brain forces very good, given to detail work and to expansion
of ideas as given to the developing of these centers
themselves, for they multiply well in the cerebellum and in
the brain store room or the cranium proper, see. The strain
on the nervous system is showing the lack of eliminating
properly from used forces in the sensory organism, hence
the dullness at times to the responding nerve energy to
the organs of the sensory system. The throat, larynx and
bronchials show the strain and the over-exertion of the
functioning secreting forces here as has been produced in
times back in the system. The lungs, very good, though the
cells show the effect of circulation, which is normal, not
abnormal for this body. The digestive tract shows the strain
on the nerve system and through the pneumogastric center,
there is at present the extra secretions as thrown out by
the system. The liver and hepatic circulation, fairly normal
for the condition in the system. The kidneys and the organs
of the pelvis show this overtaxation in the body. At times
there are some local conditions in the system that are being
met by the recuperative forces of the white blood system.
To give the perfect balance to this body would be to give
the physical rest in the open where the exercise would be to
the extremities, and the rough, coarse foods and work to the
rebuilding of the system, see. Medicinal properties for the
system are very little needed if this line is taken. With
the strain on the strain on the system would be well to use
some of the forces to produce the balance, see, take this:
Gum Camphor................10 grains,
Sulphate of Morphia.......1/8 grain,
Muriate of Iron............20 grains.
Mix well and make into twenty capsules or pellets, pellets
better with the present state of atmospheric conditions.
The dose would be one each evening. The better for the body
would be rest and rough, coarse treatment to the physical
forces. [
5759], see.
(Q) What kind of exercises should be taken?
(A) Those that would be in the open and rest, see, rough.
(Q) Do you mean like playing golf or something like that?
(A) Better if it was far away from all those elements with
just the congeniality forces, plenty of water within and
without, and rest and camp life, like that, see - physical
and mental rest, see. Or with the forces as given as
stimulation. It is only putting off and giving the
system time to recuperate, see.
(Q) What causes the lump to form in the upper portions of
stomach at times?
(A) Contraction of the pneumogastric centers, as we have
given - nerve strain.
(Q) How long will it take before this body is normal again?
(A) Depending upon what is used to bring the body to its
physical fit condition. With out doors, exercise and rough
will be three to four weeks. With the strain on the system
and with those elements to give stimulation would be from
four to five moons, depending upon how much energy is used
during that time, see.
(Q) What causes the nervous system to be overtaxed?
(A) Over stimulation through the whole vital forces, that
is, the body taxes the physical and the mental beyond its
ability to recuperate through the amount of physical rest
given to the body, physically and mentally, see.
(Q) Would it be better for this body not to smoke
cigarettes?
(A) To this body it is a stimulus and not an excess. In
part it is better to keep it.
(Q) Have you anything else to say regarding this body?
(A) Do as we have given, and we will bring the best to
this body.
BACKGROUND
Mr. [
5759] obtained readings previously for his son [
3751].
REPORTS
GD's note: Mr. [
5759] was mentioned later in his wife's
[
2553] correspondence. Their small son [
3751] died and
they gradually drifted apart, perhaps mostly due to [
5759]
becoming more and more addicted to drink. This was not long
after their baby daughter was born.

raised my daughter...many yrs. later married a fine man,
who passed on seven yrs. ago."
