  1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [5473] - this we have had before. Now, we find there are improvements in the general physical conditions of the body. While there are still those evidences of the fagged nerve plexus and centers, and the improper associations of nerve reflexes THROUGH this existent condition; yet, as we find, with the continued STIMULI as will be received by the manipulations, as will cause coordination and the rest of the body, physically and mentally, building up that reserve in the vital forces of system, these will respond to those conditions outlined. Ready for questions.

  2. (Q) Explain the spots on face and hands. (A) These, as we find, come from an incoordination of eliminations in the system, and are produced by the fag activity of the nerves of the body. These, as the system is made to coordinate, will disappear. The activities of system made to ATTEMPT to ELIMINATE same before there is coordination in eliminations, will make for detrimental conditions. These are as the segments or small particles in system as should be eliminated in alimentary canal, carried to those of the capillary circulation, and indicated in such as seen, and come to those portions as are exercised in the active forces of the system.

  3. (Q) How may natural and restful sleep be induced? (A) The use of the plain Radio-Active Appliance will aid. While this will WORRY for the first evening or two, but we will find this will materially aid. When there is so MUCH of the disturbance, the use of those of the bromides will aid most, and hinder that being accomplished in eliminations least.

  4. (Q) Explain distressing condition in neck and head. Give details for correction of this. (A) This [is] an attempt of the whole system to reach the proper coordination between sympathetic and cerebro-spinal nervous system, through those centers and ganglia as come to those lying between the sympathetic and cerebro-spinal system, in the cervical and upper dorsal centers, and radiate both from the hypogastric and pneumogastric plexus, and are disturbed then by all of the nerves of the system, whether as to just thinking or whether as to eating, or whether as to any conditions that would act either with those of the imaginative system or of the whole of the PHYSICAL forces of body. In meeting the needs of these, those manipulations as will relax same most, or with the application of those of heat that DISSEMINATES to the whole system, will aid the most in relieving this pressure, or by gentle massage over that PORTION of the body, and then - during that period - adding that of heat OR cold to the bottom of the feet.

  5. (Q) Give details of diet. (A) That as is most in nerve and blood building. Those that will add most to the ACTIVITIES of same are the best diet. That that is easily assimilated, and keeping the eliminations through the alimentary canal, through the kidneys, through the respiratory system, in as near accord as possible.

  6. (Q) How long should body have treatments at hospital? When should he leave? (A) When he’s better! In the applications, these may alter or change according to the RESPONSES of the system. As to the changes as have been suggested, how soon will they be active? Then we may say how soon will they be beneficial. As to how beneficial, how long will it take for them to bring back the nearer normal activity? That makes QUESTIONABLE, to be sure. But don’t leave it until he can get it right!

  7. (Q) Explain the confusion in his thinking and difficulty in the expression of thought? (A) Just as explained in as to how the rush of the activities along the whole of the nervous system. It may well be described as a combination of telephone or telegraph, as to how they respond. If the lines become crossed, you can hear many peoples when you are not supposed to. Just the same when expressions of that as is active within the system is attempting to pass, as it were, along their respective forces in body, causes or produces that confusion of activities, and in the mental forces of the system. NOT lack of mental ability; not lack of impulses, but lack of COORDINATIONS of same with the RESPONSES of the nerve centers, that have so long been overtaxed. Then, REST is the BEST of ALL for the system; and don’t worry! “Don’t worry” is a hard condition to designate, as to how this may be accomplished in one where much of the condition is produced from that very cause. As has been experienced by the body in its physical reactions, there may be expected periods when there must be what may be termed as retractions, re-occurrence of disorders, disheartening conditions arise, but - as has been given - we look for that which we with faith see, knowing that it may be accomplished in a manner as He would have it. We are through.
