TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here. We have had this before, you see.
2. Now, we find there are a great many changes in this body since last we had it. In many respects the change has been and is for the better. There are some abnormal conditions at the present time that may be corrected.
3. These are the conditions as we find them at the present time. First:
4. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, there is not sufficient of the blood, either in quantity or in quality, so far as the rebuilding forces call for in the system. Hence the vitality of the body in the general way is that of debilitation through the excess of forces used in the body, and the body becomes devitalized.
5. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, we find the body still with some centers that need adjustment that will relieve the strain and distress on the system, those especially in the upper lumbar and lower dorsal region, as well as those in cervical and upper dorsal.
6. In the centers that have become involved with the system absorbing or becoming congested inflammation through congestion occurs in centers that are fed by nerve and blood tissue from these centers attempting to create sufficient irritation in system to cause sufficient flow of blood to overcome condition. Hence the condition in throat and larynx, and the pains in head from pressure produced on centers. Also the trouble in the lower dorsal regions from the dorsal and upper lumbar centers becoming inflamed produce the repression in pelvic organ function, and gives secretions [leukorrhea?] that are abnormal to the body.
7. IN THE FUNCTIONING OF ORGANS THEMSELVES, we find the brain forces very good.
8. The throat, lungs, larynx - the larynx and bronchials are inflamed from conditions as given, yet no organic trouble, though without the restraining of conditions might become organic conditions again, same as we have through the upper portion of left lung. This may become involved unless corrections in the condition are made.
9. The digestive tract, stomach, we find below normal in size, and dipped just slightly to the left [?] end, causing strain and inability of the body to force stomach to expand sufficient to make normal digestion in the body. This has best be corrected by the body wearing brace to this portion of body.
10. In the functioning of liver and hepatic circulation, this is some better than has been, and in this the cause of unequalized circulation in that system has absorbed sufficient to make the change in circulation, and the body attempting to form equalization in blood and secretions finds itself perceptible [susceptible?] to the congestion which shows in centers as given.
11. In the intestinal tract, in this we find the lack of secretions in the body for this portion to function normally, and the repression produces the toxins that are absorbed in system, and gives the congestion to working forces, as it were, in the system, with blood devitalized as it is.
12. In the functioning of kidneys and organs of pelvis, we find these in the condition from the condition produced in nerve system, and reflexly through the action of hypogastric centers, both in circulation and nerve supply to the organs of the pelvis.
13. RELIEF, to give the best for the body, and to bring the normal forces in system at the present time, would be to take in the system this:

    Tincture of Valerian..............2 ounces,
Iodide of Potassium...............2 grains,
Bromide of Potassium..............8 grains,
Elixir Calisaya...................2 ounces,
Fluid Extract of Cayenne..........1 minim.
Sufficient simple syrup to make six ounces.

    The dose would be teaspoonful three to four times each day, after meals, or between meals.
14. Let the diet be gruels, or food carrying high protein value and easily digested in the system. Vegetable matter (green) as much as possible. Lettuce, asparagus, celery. All of these are extra good. Not too much acids, though tomatoes may be used if not too ripe.
15. The adjustment or osteopathic forces over the whole system for the centers, and the violet ray for nerve and blood supply at least once each day over the whole body.
16. Do that. We will find we will bring the better conditions and the normal forces, and equalize the body throughout.
17. For the local condition in throat and larynx we would use the gargle or spray to neutralize the secretions and reduce inflammation. Listerine or of Glyco-Thymoline used in spray.
18. Do that.
19. (Q) What kind of a brace should be used for the condition of the stomach?
    (A) Something as a band, or brace, that may be fastened about the body to hold body and brace the condition.
20. We are through.
