TEXT

1. GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find at the present time. You will diagnose the case thoroughly, giving the cause of the existing conditions, also the treatment for the cure and relief of this body.
2. EC: Yes, we find those impressions of the body - don't find the body here.
3. This is as we gain from those impressions of the individual as has been here from time to time.
4. Now, as regarding the physical forces, these, as we see, need rather the warning for the better physical functioning of the body, than of specifics, other than have been attended to recently.
5. In those conditions wherein the body finds that the eliminations are hindered, through the inactivity, or the normal activity, or the ABNORMAL activity, of the lower portion of the digestive system, and of the colon proper, this inflammation as is produced in the system, may become localized, and through that cause distresses of one nature or another, depending upon the cycle of the functioning, when such congestion would cause the localization of inflammation, producing either inflammation about the appendix, inflammation about the glands of the digestion, producing anemia of a form, producing inflammation about the gall ducts and the entrance to the digestive system of same, or lacerations in the lower portions of the stomach. Any of these conditions may arise from that existent in the system at present, see? the greater trouble being at the present time in that of the general circulatory system, hindered through toxins being absorbed in the system and not eliminated properly, with an unbalance between the eliminations of the kidneys and of the liver - for, as we see, these are as poles in the system, and when one becomes overtaxed the other, necessarily, the discharge of that, or when one becomes subnormal the other is increased, see?
6. In the reflex forces from this through the circulation, we find there are other portions of the body that show distress, yet this may be reached at the present time by making those corrections in the circulation that will bring about a normal equilibrium and the coordination of the functioning systems. This, as we find, would be reached at present through this - taking these properties in the system:
   To one-half (1/2) gallon of rain water, we would add:

   Wild Cherry Bark...............2 ounces,
Sarsaparilla Root..............2 ounces,
Yellow Dock Root...............1 ounce,
Burdock Root...................1 ounce,
Prickly Ash Bark.............1/2 ounce,
Dogwood Bark.................1/2 ounce,
Elder Flower...................2 ounces.

   Reduce this by simmering (not boiling) to one-HALF (1/2) the quantity. Strain, and while warm add three (3) ounces pure grain alcohol, with one (1) dram of Balsam of Tolu cut in it.
7. The dose would be teaspoonful three (3) times each day.
8. When half the quantity has been taken, begin using the Radium Appliance across the lower portion of the body, across the lumbar region, where the equalization will be kept in the whole of the hepatic circulation and stimulate the blood supply and nerve system through this means. This, necessarily, will be changed from time to time, as we find headaches or those tendencies towards those neuralgia conditions - this may be worn or kept for thirty to forty (30 to 40) minutes over such places in the body, as in face, head and neck, see?
9. Do this, and we will bring the better conditions for this body, correcting these.
10. Do not, while taking these medicinal properties, eat meat - especially pork. That of beef may be taken in small quantity, but preferably chicken, fowl, wild game or fish - these may be taken in moderation. As much green vegetable matter as possible, keeping the intestinal system cleansed, even though high enemas are taken to keep same clean.
11. Do that.
12. We are through for the present.
