Now, as we find, there are disturbances in the general
physical functionings of the body. These, as we find, in the
causes and the effects, are apparently quite at variance to
one another. While the conditions in the present are
somewhat improved, through the cleansing of the system from
the poisons that have assisted in bringing about the high
temperature and the nausea in the system, these causes are
not - in the main - of the nature known as malarial
infection. But, when there has arisen the temperature to
such an extent as to destroy the red blood cells, through the
condition in the liver, spleen and hepatic circulation, these
destroyed cells or broken down cells BECOME of such a nature
as to produce the effect of the malarial infection; and would
be called such, were they classified or separated and
segregated from the conditions that exist in the blood
supply. And the condition becomes such as to produce this
high temperature; hence is very draining on the system.
The condition which produces this, as we find, is rather the
infection of the tube that carries certain forces in the
system for the digestive area to the new blood supply.
Hence, as may be seen, the soreness, in the back at the edge
of the liver, that extends on over the right shoulder; and
the soreness in the upper portion of the right lung.
This is produced by the developing body being incapable of
handling, through the assimilating system in the lacteal
ducts, any quantity or proportionate quantity of properties
not assimilated or acted upon by the secretions of the spleen
and pancreas with the gall ducts' activity upon the food
values that are drained from the ducts of the system in this
area. Hence foods of scarcely any nature are assimilated,
then, through such periods (such as has just been passed by
the body. Though the fever or temperature has broken a great
deal, there still remains these conditions in the system.);
and the fermentation taking place in the lower portion of the
duodenum, throughout the jejunum, and forming then conditions
in the area of the caecum and the ascending colon, produces a
very high temperature. And the breaking of the cells in the
circulation, as indicated, makes for those results that have
been experienced by the body.
Then, as we find, the condition is from the LACK of
sufficient elements of the natures that will work with the
system to produce a balance in the body, for the expansion of
the activity of this duct that digests or carries foods into
the circulation.
Unless the cause is removed, these would be as warnings:
Tendency for the continued inclination of the body to be
easily upset by any elements that produce an especial
activity of the hepatic circulation; as watermelon,
cantaloupe, apples, bananas, or meats or fats that are not
easily assimilated. But fruits of certain natures and
characters, that carry elements calling for the functioning
or production within the system to produce assimilation
through the hepatic circulation's activity, will be just as
effective in upsetting the system as would be oils or fats.
There would be produced in the system a tendency for
crystallization about the gall ducts, and a condensation of
the activities in the pancreas; such as to make a tendency
for creating too great quantities of other elements in the
system, making for an overactivity of the kidneys and a
tendency for inflammation (necessarily overactive in the
body) to produce packs or obstructions in the caecum area,
as to be either of these:
Inflammation of lungs, with a tendency towards anemia in the
body.
Lack of strength and vitality, and necessarily a lowering of
the abilities for a quick mental reaction in the body.
A tendency towards poisons accumulating from the undigested
foods in the system, creating an unbalanced force in the body
- or towards inflammation of the appendix; inflammation of
the liver itself.
Then, in meeting the needs, even under the present condition,
with a watching of the diet in the present, this particular
period might easily pass away, with the system's attempting -
through its developing period - to create a balance; but we
would find a body continuing to be somewhat listless at times
in its activity, peevish, and inclined to be irritated
easily, tendency for the continuation of the inflammation to
easily arise and to cause temperature in the body.
How may we, then, correct the conditions in the present?
We would add to the system, as this:
First, we would get a small size bottle (containing 900
drops) of Fletcher's Castoria. Opening the bottle, we would
take OUT about - or at least - a teaspoonful of the compound.
Then add to the rest of the compound left in the bottle 3
grains of Senna (which makes for a tendency of an excess, as
Senna is one of the active principles upon the digestive
system already contained in Castoria, but there are many
other compounds in the same just as effective). Then add
also to the Castoria (with the extra amount of Senna) 2 drops
of Sweet Spirits of Nitre. Then shake the compound well
together, and begin with broken or very small doses (of that
that's left in the bottle, you see). We would take 15 to 20
drops every fifteen minutes for a period until there is a
flushing of the system thoroughly, and then continue the
doses farther apart - that is, after the properties have
begun to act upon the system; say half a teaspoonful every
hour, you see, until the whole quantity has been taken.
As soon as there has been the first flushing of the system
from the Castoria, we would begin with the massaging along
the cerebro-spinal system of a compound prepared in this
manner:
To 4 ounces of Russian White Oil, add:
Witchhazel.................1 ounce,
Spirits of Camphor.......1/2 ounce,
Oil of Sassafras..........10 minims (drops).
There will be a tendency, to be sure, for the Sassafras Oil
to separate whenever allowed to stand for any time, but when
ready to use shake well together and massage only that which
the body WILL absorb. The compound may be shaken well
together and a small quantity poured into a saucer, so that
the fingers may be dipped in same. Massage this into the
cerebro-spinal portion of the body, from the head to the end
of the spine. We would also massage this over the liver area
and the right shoulder, especially, see? over the upper
portion of same, to the whole area of the lungs in this
portion; that is, around the right lung, especially. Do this
massaging every other day, for at least ten days.
Of course, just the one bottle of the Castoria would be taken
in the present; prepared in the manner as given.
Be mindful of the diet. This would be an outline, though -
to be sure - it may be altered or changed as conditions
improve, or as changes come about in the body:
Mornings - citrus fruit juices; such as orange, lemon or
grapefruit juices; with a little dry toast, and a little
Ovaltine or milk that has been heated - not boiled, but
heated - may be taken.
Noons - prunes, with a little cream; or pie plant, or any
stewed fruits, provided they are not apples.
There also may be taken at this time a little meat broth,
see? Not any of the meats. Vegetable broths. Strained
vegetable juices, as Gerber's, very good, provided they are
not overly weighted with salt, see? Not too much salt.
Evenings - a well balanced meal with well cooked vegetables,
and properties that are easily assimilated. Ice creams or
sherbets are very good; preferably the fruit sherbets would
be well for the body.
We will find, too, that occasionally beef juice would be
well; but when given do not give large quantities, just a few
teaspoonsful at the time; and this should not be heavily
loaded with salt or with those properties that only make
foods palatable to the body.
We will find that, if these directions are followed, the
conditions will be overcome; and we will make for a normal,
healthy, developing body, rid of all these conditions.
Not following these directions, and we may look for trouble
later on.
Ready for questions.
(Q) What will aid her speaking more plainly?
(A) The massages as we have given, with the properties
outlined, will assist greatly in releasing those pressures in
the body that tend to make for hesitancy, stammering, and the
like.
(Q) Is New York the best location for the family -
(A) (Interrupting) Very good. The whole surroundings are
very good, provided a BALANCE is created for the body. Of
course, open air is always well for the body; but not too
great an activity - even in the open air - for some time; two
to three weeks.
We are through for the present.

(GD's note: DIRECTIONS FOR MAKING PURE BEEF JUICE - Put
small chunks of raw beef in covered fruit jar. Put jar
inside pan of water (water coming to about half the depth of
jar). Boil until chunks of beef are thoroughly done.
Strain. Keep juice in cool place.
Dosage: For children, half to a teaspoonful at meals -
diluted with water, as a broth - Use as given in reading
above.)
