IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, in this we find the greater trouble,
or the seat or cause of this existent condition. In the
cerebro-spinal centers does this occur, caused by an injury
as was received in times back. This occurred in the region
of the 8th and 7th and 9th dorsal. This plexus, then,
showing the seat of the trouble. Hence the irritation and
nerve conditions as often exists from this trouble, wherein
there is seen, with over excitement, that perspiration
easily starts in hands and feet - extremities calling for
a full circulation, and of return as is seen between the
circulations, of the internal and external, or the lymphatic
and capillary - becoming too full. This causes, then, this
excretion to show. Often carried with same are those
impurities to the capillary circulation that cause
disagreeable conditions in the body - the excretions become
of such a nature as to become obnoxious to the body, as is
seen in various portions where the lymphatic circulation
reaches of the surface easily. Again we find this disturbs
the gestive system a tendency also is seen of constipation,
and this causes distress, especially through the right side
at times, when the body eats a meal under stress of any
nature, whether physical or mental, for the blood supply
being called, as it were, to a central position, with a
depleted blood supply, especially in blood of the nature that
acts as that of the digestive forces for the functioning of
organs in various cycles, this REDUCING the supply in the
external, and forcing to the internal, causes a congestion,
as it were, through the ducts - especially of the lacteal
ducts. This causes an overflow, see? Then we have that
reflex from this that again finds a disturbed circulation in
eliminations, for those eliminations that should be carried
off through the regular drosses return to capillaries - a
nerve condition, as produced from reflex and pressure as is
caused from that condition existing in the dorsal region, as
given.
IN THE FUNCTIONING OF THE ORGANS, from this we find many
various ones, under various circumstances and conditions,
are involved - but to bring about the correction of these
would bring about the NORMAL condition for this body, and
through a more normal condition the more normal physical
body may exercise that with which brings better conditions
for the physical, the mental, and the spiritual well being
of the body.
Then, to bring this about, correct through osteopathic
manipulation. At least eight to ten should be taken -
adjustments and manipulation, see?
AFTER at least three such manipulations and adjustments have
been taken, take THIS internally:
Fowler's Solution of Arsenic. Begin with one drop, taken
once each day - preferably just before retiring. Take this
one drop each day for five days - not more than the one drop.
Then, on the sixth day, increase to two drops - take two
drops once each day for five days. Then increase to three
drops - not more than the three drops once each day, for
five days. After this increase to the four drops. After
this five days increase to five drops, see? Then leave off
five days, see? Then begin with one drop taken for five
days - one drop, then the two, the three, the four, the five.
This course should cleanse the system, with those conditions
as would be received through the correct adjustments of the
nerve plexus in the body, and the change as will be wrought
by this. Do that. Ready for questions.
(Q) How often should the adjustments be given?
(A) Every other day, until at least ten to twelve,
to thirteen, have been taken.
(Q) What should the diet be?
(A) That of the regular diet, as is seen. Much of fruit
and of vegetables. Not too heavy of meats, see? and NEVER
any fried meats. No pork of any kind, or hog meat.
(Q) What causes the boils to appear on different parts
of the body?
(A) The circulation disturbed, as has been given. Poor
eliminations, or MIS-DIRECTED eliminations, produced by the
nerve condition as exists in the system - plexuses as have
been seen - these as received by a wrench, as was received
in wrestling, and a fall - bicycle fall.
We are through for the present.
