TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [2]. Now, we find there are abnormal conditions with the physical forces of the body. These have had to do with the eliminations and specific conditions as have and do exist with the physical forces of the body. While those administrations that have been given the body have aided in part, by the releasing of the nerve energy, yet the conditions throughout the system have reached such proportions as the relaxation does not furnish sufficient to relieve or to make permanent the relief as is brought to the body through such vibrations or administrations.
2. These, then, are conditions as we find them with this body, [2], we are speaking of:
3. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, this we find, through that condition as has existed in the system, so brought about through this poor elimination, and through that as is thrown in the blood supply, such conditions as that the organs of elimination have become so involved as to cause such congestion as to hinder the functioning of the organs, even in the excretory as well as secretive organs or functioning of the organs themselves. Hence the liver and the kidneys have become involved, as well as the tissue and sinew of the muscular forces of the body. These, in the tissue and muscular forces, from the drosses as left in system. Those in the liver and kidneys, and the whole of hepatic circulation, as well as through other portions of the system, from those conditions as were taken on from outside, as well as that created by such congestion, which formed the characteristics of this congestion, coming in the form of that as attacks the mucus producing portions of the system, as to become catarrhal in its effect. Now, catarrhal conditions in the nasal or head portions of body may act in many directions, as to the functioning of the organs of the sensory system, which have in part been involved in these conditions, as well as this having gone lower becomes that as causes the condition in the action of the pancreas and the mucus producing portion of system. Hence assimilations are hindered also. These conditions, then, show the complications as have arisen in this functioning organism. Now, the releasing of the pressure in the cerebrospinal nerve system aids and relieves pressure, but to relieve the condition as we find through the digestive system, through the functioning of organs themselves, the congestion as is brought about, and most of all that condition existent in the bloodstream itself, wherein the inability of the blood supply to furnish that necessary for resuscitation throughout the physical system, in whole, and the inability of same to bring coordination in the eliminations - hence the inability of the body to function through the respiratory system normally, the inability to function normally through that of the capillary circulation and through the kidneys and the liver, through the action of same in the body -
4. To meet the needs, then, of the conditions, we would add with that being administered in the way of correction of the conditions along the cerebrospinal system, those of medicinal properties that will change the vibratory forces, in that as we would find in THIS compound:
5. First we would take and make as a carrier: 1/2 gallon of distilled water, with 6 ounces of wild cherry bark. Reduce this by simmering, or slow boiling, to 1/2 the quantity. Strain while warm and add:

   Simple Syrup........................2 ounces,
Compound Syrup of Sarsaparilla......1 ounce,
Elixir Calisaya.....................1 ounce,
Tincture of Stillingia............1/4 ounce,
Oil of Sassafras...................40 minims,
Sulphate of Quinine................20 grains,
Tincture of Capsici.................2 minims.

6. Cut 1 dram Balsam of Tolu in 2 ounces of grain alcohol and add to solution. Shake well together before the dose is taken, which should be teaspoonful 4 times each day.
7. We would also add to the system those vibrations as are found in the plain violet ray. This following the manipulations as are given each day, or every other day, along the cerebrospinal system.
8. Well that high enemas be given occasionally to eliminate those feces in the colon, so that the active forces of the properties given may have opportunity to revibrate with the whole body.
9. Do that, and we will find in thirty to sixty days quite a change in this body, [2]. Then we would give at that time further instructions for the complete correction for this body. Ready for questions.
10. (Q) What diet?
    (A) No meats, and those of the vegetables that grow above the ground. Much of the pod vegetable, but more that produce iron and the quantities of iodine producing vegetables in the system. Also those that add or create more of the lactics, or non-acid producing vegetables. Fruit juices may be taken - that is, those of citrus fruit, but no apples, no peaches - though pears may be taken, or grapes may be taken. We are through for the present.
