TEXT

1. EC: Now, the abnormal conditions as we find in the body here have to do with the viscera and the action of the poisons that are absorbed in the system and the action of these poisons on the whole system, both in blood circulation and the action of the lymphatic and emunctory forces in their action within the system. Now, these are the conditions as we find in the body - [224], we are speaking of:
2. The circulation carries the streptococcus bacilla or a pus-forming bacilla produced by the poisons absorbed from the intestinal tract, especially in that portion principally in contact with the liver and pancrean forces when first acted upon, so we find in the blood circulation this form of bacilla showing and the impoverishment of the blood is produced by the system attempting to throw this off from the system. So much of this has been taken into the functioning of the lobes of the liver itself till we see that some of the former conditions and troubles were attempted to be removed by the operations on portions of the viscera, which are affected by the discharge from the liver in its excretory functioning within the system.
3. The number of red blood corpuscles are deficient. Coagulation by the creation of the plasmatic cells that have been induced to function more abundantly by the injection of certain serums within the body in times back still function superabundantly, so the affection of this condition shows in portions of the lymphatic circulation.
4. The nerve forces and the debilitation of certain nerve centers, the most notable being that ganglion situated at the second lumbar, also the stronger reflexes from this condition on account of some pelvic operations shows at the ninth dorsal and fifth and sixth dorsal-ganglion.
5. The body, we find, is not always sick, but rarely feels physically fit to meet the demands upon it at once, the temperature weakening the resistive forces, this being produced by the warring - that is the combative - forces within the body and nature's attempt to adjust itself, and the action of all blood, nerve and muscular forces being brought to its proper equilibrium. See? The functioning of the organs within the body in these we find particularly the showing of the conditions that have attempted to be adjusted within the system in the marks of same throughout the body.
6. Some of the operations have been needed and have benefited the body; some have not been necessary, and the body would have been better had they been left off.
7. There are many portions of the body and organisms affected by the neurotic forces, neurasthenic forces and the anemic forces within the body, yet these conditions are produced by the condition as we have outlined here before. Then we find these conditions are secondary or effects of conditions that have existed in the body.
8. To relieve, or to bring back to a normal functioning forces, it will be impossible, we see, to replace some parts that have been removed from the system; yet, the system can be brought to a proper functioning of its present holdings, as it were, or the organs within the body.
9. THIS, WE WILL GIVE INTO THE SYSTEM:
10. Sarsaparilla Root, six ounces; black haw bark, two ounces; (Use the bark, preferably) (A tincture of these, except of the sarsaparilla, may be used.) (In that case we only use three drams.) Yellow Dock Root, two ounces; Burdock Root, two ounces; Blood Root, two ounces; Elder flower, four ounces. This will all be put in a gallon of rain water simmered, not boiled, till reduced to one quart. While still warm, add to this: four ounces Grain Alcohol with three drams Balsam of Tolu. The dose of this will be tablespoonful four times a day, before each meal and before retiring.
11. After this has been taken into the system and the body has rested for five days from medical or medicinal properties, we would then begin and take into the rejuvenated system as this will produce, you see, this: Chloride of Gold, fifteen grains with four grains of Bicarbonate of Soda into or in fifteen ounces of water. The dose of this will be five drops in half glass of water, taken three times a day. At the time this is given in the system, or after it is begun two days, we would treat the whole spinal column with the ultra violet ray. The gold shall be taken into the system (One of the doses you see) just thirty minutes before the treatment is given the body. The other doses night and morning. Once each day treat the body with the ultra violet ray for not more that five minutes at a time.
12. If we will do this we will find it not necessary for further operations, but the system will be able to absorb, and through natural channels, eliminate refuse matter, and with the gold and proper vibration, as will be received from the ray, rebuild the body to its normal functioning. Do this. We are through.
