TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here. Now the abnormal conditions as we find in this body that are to be corrected at the present time have to do with eliminations throughout the system, both in a general way, and the functioning of the organs. Now these are the conditions as we find in this body at the present time.
2. First, in the blood supplying forces, we find the blood has become deficient in that it does not store up the energy necessary to meet the resistive forces within the body, at times, for with the toxins being carried in the blood supply, we find that the system shows that these toxins are left in the tissue and sinew in portions of the body, and cause pain to the body at times, in the form of contraction of the muscular forces over certain portions of the system.
3. The white blood supply is also deficient, hence we find the body does not, through the lymphatic circulation, throw much of the poison, through respiration, as it should. That is, it is hard for this body to throw off through the respiratory organs much of the poison, hence the overtaxed condition that comes to the liver and to the kidneys. The effect also, as produced through the upper portion of the bronchials, at times, the system attempting to adjust itself against the conditions that arise in the body through the nervous system. We find the brain forces of this body very good.
4. The action of the cerebro-spinal nervous system becomes involved in the outer ends of the nerves, with muscular forces, sometimes to the extremities, throws to the upper portion of the trunk portion of the body, with the involuntary action of the nerve energy. The nerves then receive their impressions, as it were, of the conditions existing in the system. The stomach and the cerebro-spinal co-ordinate very good with the conditions as exist in the system. Through the functioning of the organs themselves in the functioning of the organs of the sensory system, we find the reflex of the over-taxed eliminating system, hence at times the conditions that have, and do, exist through these organs in the throat, larynx and bronchials. We have the reflex conditions as expressed by the attempts of the system to carry present elimination on in the system.
5. In the functioning of the lungs themselves, the body has the expression in the clarification in the blood supply as is given from the blood that has become surcharged with poison to be eliminated, and give the effect in the lung cells, without there being an organic condition that is controlled by the circulation.
6. The digestive tract, we find, the body experiences the inconvenience of the effort on the circulation secretions in the system to carry on present elimination.
7. Through the organs of the digestion and the circulation, often in the flow to the stomach, first becomes overabundant, causing the fullness, the nausea, the overtaxed condition throughout this portion of the body.
8. The liver is torpid in its functioning, producing a high hepatic circulation. The kidneys, with high circulation, the excess of poisons to be eliminated, the body across the lower lumbars to knees, suffers from taxation to these portions of the body, from the inability of the system to throw off the toxins; not wholly uric acid, but rather toxins in the system.
9. To give balance in the system, necessary to meet resistive forces, and to overcome, we would add to the system that which will assist in producing the elimination through the whole system the building to assist the blood rebuilding forces. Take this into the system:
10. To one gallon of rain water, or distilled water, we would add four ounces of sarsaparilla root, two ounces of wild cherry bark, two ounces black root, twenty grains of mandrake root. This would be simmered, not boiled, until reduced to one quart. Strain while warm. Add four ounces of grain alcohol, with three drams of Balsam of Tolu. The dose would be a tablespoonful half hour before meals of evening.
11. The body should have vibrations, of electric vibration, electrically driven, NOT THE ELECTRICITY ITSELF, over the whole length of the spine from the first cervical to the end of the spine, then across the body at the sacral plexus, and down the sciatic nerve to the knees.
12. By the time the second quantity of this is taken, the body will feel the difference in the condition, and be able to digest the foods, which should not be meats, but rather of the coarser - and vegetable matter, taking or using whole wheat as gruel. Do that.
13. (Q) What is causing the rheumatism in this body?
    (A) We have just given it.

BACKGROUND

1. Apparently Mrs. [159] was at home in ..., Miss. at the time of the rdg. There was no correspondence with the rdg., except a notation which indicated that she was a trained nurse, and that her trouble was rheumatism.

REPORTS

1. Later a mailing was sent, checking the address, but it was returned marked ADDRESS UNKNOWN.
