TEXT

1. EC: We have the body here, [191]. Now, we find there are specific disorders accentuated in the physical forces of this body, and these may be corrected in such a manner as to bring a normal physical functioning. The conditions, as we find, have to do with eliminations, the effect same has produced on specific organs and the result of this effect.
2. These, then, are the conditions as we find them with this body, [191] we are speaking of, present in this room.
3. First, in the BLOOD SUPPLY - here we find the conditions are an overtaxed blood supply, through the manner in which eliminations have been carried on in the system. This leaving drosses, especially in the alimentary canal, affecting directly the liver, and this re-infection, as it were, from the poisons in system, produces an over-abundance of the blood supply so contaminated, as it were, in the throat, the bronchia, the larynx, the pounding to the head, and the flow becomes such as to produce temperature in the blood supply. This from the character of the dross accumulation, produces in the blood stream - and not sufficient of the leucocyte that destroys the tissue that becomes involved - and is carried off, or SHOULD be carried off, in elimination.
4. In the NERVE SYSTEM - this, we find, becomes taxed through the over supply of blood from the solar plexus UPWARD, especially - and at times causes both sympathetically and specifically, ganglia to work in an extraordinary, or an abnormal manner. Hence the fast pulsations as felt in the upper portion of body, through head, through neck, at times even in the palms of hand; yet the tendency in the lower portion to feel chilly, with hot and cold sensation. These are reflexes from sympathetic and nerve plexus in the cerebro-spinal system.
5. In the functionings of the ORGANS, these show specific conditions as exist - in that of the pressure in head, causing headaches, that take peculiar TURNS, as it were, through the head. Eyes at times burn, WITHOUT any PARTICULAR effect to vision. Throat irritation. Larynx - this shows the greater effect of the plethora condition existent in the upper portion of system, or the radiation of the blood supply above the diaphragm. Inflammation ensues from same. Lungs themselves very good, though soreness naturally occurs from the feeling of irritation in the bronchia and larynx. In the digestive system, with the blood supply above the diaphragm - naturally the digestion becomes poor, and insufficient activity carried on. The condition in LIVER, sluggish in its activity - with the tendency towards the INACTIVITY of the bile ducts, as also of the spleen's reflexes in the activity of digestion. Hepatic circulation becomes cold, or slow so that the tendency is the OVER crowding of the lower hepatic circulation, and the inactivity of same.
6. To meet the needs of the conditions, so that there IS the PERMANENT elimination of the disorders from the system: First we would use those of an ELIMINANT that will cause activity within the blood stream proper, and the causing of an activity in the hepatic circulation as to produce a normal return of the plasm in the division of the blood supply, producing an activity in the liver at the same time. These we would find in this, and we would take three of these, one day apart; that is, take one - rest a day and then take the next - rest a day, taking the next - see?

   Podophyllin....................1/2 grain,
Leptandrin.....................1/4 grain,
Sanguinaria....................1/4 grain.

   This should be put in capsule, and this divided into the three doses, see? To add with this, as the CARRIER, we would take those of the Cascara Sagrada 1/2 grain, making then the capsule of the whole amount into three divisions, after they are well compounded.
7. Following this, we would use - or use throughout - those of the inhalant as would be prepared in THIS manner: To 4 ounces of grain alcohol, in an 8 ounce container, add:

   Oil of Eucalyptol...............20 minims,
Rectified Creosote...............5 minims,
Benzoin..........................5 minims,
Rectified Oil of Turp............5 minims,
Tincture of Tolu in solution....30 minims.

   Shake solution together when it is to be inhaled. Keep this in a glass corked container. Inhale THROUGH the mouth, principally, into the lungs and larynx. This may be taken often when coughing, or when irritation of the throat or of the larynx occurs, and will PREVENT coughing. Do not inhale too deep in the beginning. Will also be well that this be inhaled (shaken each time before it is inhaled) through the nostrils. This will clarify the condition in the head and reduce the pressure to the soft tissue of face and head.
8. Well that each evening, before retiring, the feet - to the knees - be bathed in hot water, to which MUSTARD is added. To the gallon of water, half a teaspoonful of mustard - rubbing in the sole of the feet, following same, those of mutton tallow and camphorated oil. This acts in THIS manner: This will produce a circulation through the extremities that, added with the stimuli to the hepatic circulation, will aid in EQUALIZING and caring for the conditions as PRODUCE drosses in the body. Ready for questions.
9. We are through for the present.
