TEXT

1. EC: Now, we find there are abnormal conditions in the functioning of the organism of this body. These have to do with the elimination and assimilation in the system and the effect that is produced on various organisms of the system, through this disarrangement or abnormal, or subnormal in others, in their functioning.
2. Now, these are the conditions as we find them in this body, Mrs. [150], we are speaking of, present in this room. First:
3. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, this we find above the normal in some respects, producing then, through this abnormality, the pressure as is brought about in the whole system, and the excess of the leucocyte in the system shows the excess produced in the blood count of the red blood. As to effects this condition produces with others on the whole system, these vary, as we shall see.
4. IN THE NERVE SYSTEMS, in this we find there are many conditions to be reckoned with, for there was produced in the cerebro-spinal system in times back a deflection that has brought many of the conditions that have become abnormal in the functioning of the system. This produced by a strain to the system in the lumbar region, that of the 3rd and 4th lumbar, and there is produced, from lesion formed there, a secondary condition in the 7th and 8th dorsal. This changing then directly the change of the system through the lacteal ducts. Hence the over supply of blood is received through these channels. The deflection from the lower portion, or the dorsal and lumbar combined, produces through the mesenteric system that strain as is brought to the trunk portion of the body. In the deflection from these conditions there is produced the full capillary circulation, yet producing through same that condition of the system producing the assimilation of all taken in the system and using same through deflections for the building up of the body.
5. IN THE FUNCTIONING OF THE ORGANS PROPER, brain forces very good.
6. Organs of the sensory system show there are the effects of the overdue assimilation. Hence the conditions as are produced in same at times through the leadened condition produced in some of the organs of sensory system in their functioning.
7. Throat, bronchials, lungs and larynx, these show the effect of over stimulation, yet not organic conditions.
8. In the heart's action we find the pressure as is produced; both by the blood supply and of the assimilated forces in system produce a pressure on same. Not a valvular condition; not a gurgular condition - a depression as is produced by the organ's functioning in itself, though not an organic trouble; overtaxed condition in the hypogastric and in the secondary cardiac plexus.
9. In the liver functioning, this we find subnormal in size yet in its functioning through the spleen, pancreas and those organs that furnish the rebuilding in the system show these are in the condition of plethora, while the liver itself shows the normal function in excretory and in secretions an abnormal or an excess.
10. Kidneys show the effect of the mesenteric disturbances and of the low hepatic and the high circulation through the system. Hence the taxation to this organ comes more from specific nature than of other organs in the system. Hence the disturbances as are produced by irritation, and the over acidity of the system through this excess of secretions brings distresses to the body through this.
11. Then, to bring about the normal forces for the body, we would of necessity have a consistent and persistent condition to be dealt with. First there must be, through the cerebro-spinal system, a correction of those subligations in the dorsal and lumbar region, preferably through that of the chiropractic forces that know to adjust conditions to produce the correct assimilated forces for elimination in the system. Such may be found in Bybee.
12. As for those properties to assist in the heart's action and in the blood force, we would take as these:
13. First we would take 1 gallon of distilled water. To this add 6 ounces of Wild Cherry Bark. Reduce by simmering to 1 quart. Strain. Then add 4 ounces of cane sugar, dissolved in four ounces of hot distilled water. Reduce then to the 1 quart again. THEN add:

    Syrup of Sarsaparilla..............2 ounces,
Tincture Valerian................1/2 ounce,

    Fluid Extract Yellow Dock Root...1/4 ounce,
Fluid Extract Mandrake Root.......30 minums,
Fluid Extract Buchu Leaves........10 minums,
Fluid Extract Mullen Flower......1/4 ounce.

14. Then cut 3 drams of Balsam of Tolu in 1 ounce pure grain alcohol. Add to solution. Shake the solution well before the dose is taken, which would be 2 teaspoonsful during each day, one preferably BEFORE arising, one just before retiring.
15. After adjustments have been made, and half the quantity of the medicinal properties taken, begin with the application of the Radio-Active Forces as would be applied to the right and left ankle, applying BOTH to the feet rather than one to the wrist and other to the ankle - both to the ankles, see? This we find will reduce this condition, as is produced by the strain on the portion of the body from that of the NOW lesion in lumbar, and produce a condition of the correct metabolism in the lower portion. After this has been used every day for one hour, preferably as the body retires, then it would be changed to that as applied to the left ankle, and then to the central portion of body, see? Do that. When these have been carried out in their full, in a systematic and in a consistent manner, we will find the body better prepared to meet the needs of the condition of the system. Then we would give further instructions for the correction of many other conditions as are to be met. Do that.
16. (Q) What causes the swelling in the legs?
    (A) The condition as is produced in the lower portion of the spine deflects the circulation. Hence that as was given for the battery appliance to both limbs - lower limbs, for this correction, when treatments and adjustments have been made.
17. (Q) How many adjustments will be necessary?
    (A) This should be corrected in this manner. Take 12 to 13 adjustments. Then rest a month before 12 or 13 more are taken.
18. We are through.
