Diseases likely to prove fatal. Same as Type 1 A. .
Prognosis, same as Type 1 A.

2. General moral type.
(A) (Fig. 5) Base, moral; first-inclination, physical; second inclination, mental.
Strongest organs, ductless glands; basic organs, generative or reproductive. .
Intermediate organs, digestive.
Weakest organs, lungs.
Prominent symptoms and preliminary healing crises: Those emanating from the digestive organs and liver.
Diseases likely to prove fatal: Those producing destructive changes in the generative organs, which result in degenerative changes in the system.
Prognosis: Good, unless destructive changes have occurred in the generative glands.
In individuals of the moral type, functional symptoms manifest themselves in the nervous system as a result of increased activity in the ductless glands. This is largely due to the endeavor of these structures to compensate for deficiencies in the intermediate and weakest organs. It is when this compensatory action begins to fail and destructive changes are noticeable in the nervous system that the outlook becomes grave.
Treatment. General natural treatment directed particularly to the generative organs for the purpose of maintaining compensation. A strict eliminative diet must be adhered to and occasional fasts of from three to seven days' duration. Sun baths should be employed with the sun's rays directed to the pelvic region. The remainder of the body should be protected during this specific treatment. Such a sun bath should not be prolonged above fifteen minutes. The vital fluids of patients of this type must be conserved, consequently there must be total abstinence from sexual intercourse during the period of their cure.

Strongest organs, ductless glands; basic organs, generative.
Intermediate organs, respiratory.
Weakest organs, digestive.
Prominent symptoms and preliminary healing crises: Those emanating from the respiratory organs, in cases where the disease changes have not yet reached the ductless glands and the nervous system.
Diseases likely to prove fatal, same as Type 2 A.
Prognosis, same as Type 2 A. Treatment, same as Type 2 A.
3. General mental type.
(A) (Fig. 7) Base, mental; first inclination, physical; second inclination, moral.
Strongest organs, lungs; basic organ, upper lobes.
Intermediate organs, digestive.
Weakest organs, ductless glands.
Prominent symptoms and preliminary healing crises: Those emanating from the digestive organs, in cases where destructive changes have not yet occurred in the lungs.
Diseases likely to prove fatal if improperly treated are those producing destructive changes in the lungs, the chief of which is tuberculosis.
Prognosis: Good, in cases where destructive changes have not occurred in the lungs.
Treatment. General natural treatment with a strict eliminative diet and frequent fasts of short duration. Outdoor exercises are necessary for individuals of this type, particularly such as will increase the respiratory action and maintain sufficient compensation through the lungs, so as to enable the intermediate and weakest organs to recover their tone and return to a higher state of function.

From the foregoing outline it will be seen that the prominent symptoms occur in the organs of the first inclination. This needs a slight explanation. During the growing and developing years of an individual--the years before eighteen--symptomatic conditions are likely to arise from the organs of the second inclination, the severity depending upon the strength of these organs or their degree of resistance. Crisis conditions frequently manifest themselves through these organs during this period of life. If they are very weak, however, and the individual is living under unfavorable or unhygienic conditions, symptoms will begin to appear in the organs of the first inclination about the age of puberty. It is through the organs of the first or stronger inclination that we must expect a crisis to occur during the process of cure; for the production of a crisis not only requires resistive power in the part selected for this activity, but it also requires that some other part shall maintain sufficient strength to carry on the necessary compensation. Where the crisis occurs through the organs of the stronger inclination, the basic organ carries the compensation. If the disease process actually reaches the basic organ, having already progressed through the weakest and intermediate organs, a.crisis cannot take place in the basic organ, because there is nothing left to take up the compensatory activities.
In order to arrive at a correct basic diagnosis we must first of all determine in which of the three brain areas the greatest development lies. It becomes necessary then for us to make a general study of heads. If from a front view of the individual we gather the information that both temples are well developed and full, and the line of the head from the angle of the orbit over the ears and around the occiput or base of the brain shows the greatest development of any part of the head, we place that individual in the physical class. His base determined, the inclinations then receive our attention. The higher and straighter the forehead, the more development exists in the frontal lobes of the brain, the more mentality is possessed by that individual. If the forehead, then, contains greater development than the topmost portion of the head (parietal region), then the individual's first inclination is mental, and his second inclination moral. If, on the other hand, the parietal region contains a more marked development, is larger and better proportioned, then the individual's first inclination is moral, and his second inclination mental.
Let us take another example: Looking at the individual from the front, his temples appear to be hollow, and the line around the base of the head appears to be constricted. Immediately we know that the individual cannot be physically based; he must then be either morally or mentally based. We now take a profile view and we find that the forehead recedes slightly, consequently he cannot be mentally based. The parietal region, however, is well developed and therefore he belongs to the moral type.
Coming back to the front view, we find a high, well developed forehead, which impresses us as having a greater value than the development existing over the temples and at the base of the brain; so we pronounce his first inclination to be mental, and his second inclination is then physical.
