These, as we find, are the effects of poisons and infectious
forces that are arising in the body. There are those
specific conditions that are seen in the extremities, or
feet, or toe, where there has been for some time an infection
that is affecting the blood supply, and - with weakened
conditions as in teeth and gums - the throat and the tissue
in same are becoming involved. And, to be sure, the organs
of elimination - as the liver, the spleen - suffer, when
there are such inexhaustive forces, as it were, for the
activities of the organs themselves in their normal function
to cope with, or to create that which will counterbalance
such conditions in the system, see?
Then, as we would find, it would be the better that first
there be some measures taken for the clarifying, or
generalizing and clarifying, of the conditions of the general
system, then specific work or removal of the condition in
foot, then there will be the necessity - afterward that some
specific work, some specific precautions be taken, as to the
teeth and the throat.
As we find, then, it would be preferable that there be a
round of cathartics that would act not only as an eliminant
but as a cathartic, see?
We would take, then, as this:
For two to three days take a tablespoonful each day of Milk
of Magnesia.
Then, on the fourth day, take TWO Alophen tablets at once,
see?
Then, on the second day or third day after that, we would
have the toe nail cut out.
When the body begins to recuperate from this, we would then
have an antiseptic as a gargle for the throat, and some local
work done on the teeth, keeping up with the eliminants that
will aid the system in gaining a balance in correcting the
disturbances in the blood supply - as in this:
Be mindful that the diet does not consist of ANY meats, save
at times a little fowl or fish. Then one meal each day
should at least be of green vegetables, the other may be of
cereals or stewed fruits or fresh fruits or the like, see?
Then one meal of cooked vegetables, principally.
We would also take as these, as well as the proper
adjustments along the whole of the spine; not any particular
center, save the 4th and 5th dorsal center, see - but an
alignment along the whole cerebrospinal system; and we
take with it, this:
One day take a teaspoonful (at bedtime) of Milk of Magnesia.
The next day a teaspoonful (taken in a glass of water) of
Milk of Bismuth. The next day take a Charcoal Tablet, see?
Then, if necessary, a high enema occasionally.
These, we would find, would make for near normal conditions
with this body, [
371].
Ready for questions.
(Q) To whom should she go for this treatment for the
ingrowing nail, or to have this removed?
(A) Someone that is a good orthopedic surgeon, or one who
makes a specialty of such - or a GOOD surgeon that may take
care of the condition.
(Q) Is there a special one you would suggest?
(A) Anyone that knows his business. The body should have
more choice of this, than directing them to the body, save
knowing that you have one in whom you have confidence and
that knows his business.
We would preferably see one in Rocky Mount.
We are through for the present.

[

should go to about ingrown toenail on her right big toe, that
is, if there is any surgical work to be done... Please give
this rdg. as soon as possible... I feel there is something
wrong with her that I don't understand, and I know I will
