Time of Reading 11:40 A. M. Eastern Standard. …, Ky.

1. GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find at the present time. You will diagnose the case thoroughly, giving the cause of the existing conditions, also the treatment for the cure and relief of this body.

2. EC: Now, we find there are some abnormal conditions with this body. While many conditions are good throughout, yet these, as we find, have to do with psychological conditions, and are of the effects of pathological and psychological also, for much of the trouble is produced in that of an inhibitive nature.

3. This, then, is the condition as we find in this body. First:

4. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, in this is very good in many ways, yet some of the elements show the effect of various conditions as are existent in the body that cause disturbance from time to time, though little or any of the real distresses of body are at present produced from the blood condition, though this must be looked after and kept in an equalized manner in making the corrections, for much of the troubles in making the correction must be eliminated through the effect of the circulation in the system, and that stimulation of the different organs that will produce this elimination must be cared for in a manner that will not produce worse conditions by the treatment than exists through the present condition, see?

5. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, there are those centers we find wherein there are specific conditions that cause much of the physical effects, as are produced from the pathological conditions existent, and for the inhibitive condition that exists in the body, and there are specific times, or at intervals, those conditions that arise in the system, THROUGH the nerve centers, that become as a shock to the sympathetic system, to the cerebrospinal system, and to the sensory organism, in the form of spasmodic conditions to the muscular and to the ganglion centers along the cerebrospinal system, see? The condition in the cerebrospinal that show physical conditions are existent in the 1st cervical and in the 2nd and 3rd lumbar, see? that in the lumbar an after effect or a causation, that in the 1st cervical the first effect, or that producing the causation in other portions of system, with the conditions as are inhibitive for the system.

6. Then, the effect as is produced in the organs themselves, we find the whole system, as it were, of an unbalanced unit of building force. That is, too many cellular forces not performing their normal functioning, and the body often finds itself getting in the way of itself, see?

7. In the correction, then, for the system, those portions that are to be looked out for the most, are the correcting of those centers where lesions are affected, and centers causing trouble; 1st cervical, 1st and 2nd cervical, 2nd and 3rd and 1st lumbar, see? These should be corrected chiropractically, see? The effect as is produced then in the system by these corrections, with the general physical condition of the body, there must be looked after those eliminating centers as are affected by this overcharge that will be thrown into the system through the liver and the whole mesenteric system, especially that governing that of the hypogastric and pneumogastric plexuses. That is, then, never should the body OVEREAT, see? Not starve itself, no. Not diet itself to that condition of where not sufficient is taken into the system to give the supplying foods necessary for the building of the body, but never over loading the system. Never with anything greasy, see? nor meats. Never much grease. Rather GREEN vegetable forces, and as much of that raw as the body can take; for some of these are disagreeable to the body. Train the system, if we would be rid of these conditions, to take more of the raw foods, as much as possible. Whole wheats. Never that of WHITE bread, or very rare if ever any. Taking these medicinal properties, as will be found in Maypop Bitters, prepared by Chattanooga Medical Company, Chattanooga, Tennessee. Taking half a teaspoonful of this as the dose, instead of that as the directions as are given. Take this three - four times each day, see?

8. Have at least fifteen adjustments made, for the cervical and lumbar. Then take these properties as given, watching the diet, until we find we are rid entirely of these. Well, whenever the body goes to retire, take a small pinch of salt (plain table salt) in the mouth and let it dissolve, see?

9. Do that, [3788].

10. We are through.
