TEXT

GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with suggestions for further corrective measures; answering the questions, as I ask them:
EC: Yes, we have the body here, [573].
As we find in the present, there are disturbances from lack of activity and coordination between the upper and lower hepatic circulation.
The body needs to keep rather quiet until there are set up the full eliminations or activities of the liver itself. Do not overtax nor overexercise the body while these medicinal properties are being taken.
We would use a combination of the vegetable and mineral eliminants, in these manners:
Begin with small doses every half hour of Castoria and Syrup of Figs. On one half hour take half a teaspoonful of Castoria, then the next half hour take half a teaspoonful of Syrup of Figs. Continue these, first one and then the other, you see, either one or the other every half hour, until there are FULL eliminations from the alimentary canal. The basis of both of these compounds is senna, you see, yet there are active principles in each that will affect the hepatic circulation in quite a different manner - and their combinations are needed.
When there have been at least two good evacuations from the taking of these properties, - then take a high enema; using to the quart and a half of water a heaping teaspoonful of table salt and a level teaspoonful of baking soda, dissolved thoroughly. Have the water body-temperature. Use at least two quantities of water for eliminating the deposits and conditions through the colon.
Then the next day after this has been taken, take two heaping teaspoonsful of Sal Hepatica in a glass of water.
Over the area along the spine where there is pain from the kidney and the activities of same, massage with the equal combination of Mutton Tallow (melted), Spirits of Turpentine and Spirits of Camphor. Do this especially of evening.
If precautions are taken, we find that this will aid in eliminating the pains and the poisons from the system; giving the body better appetite, making for better activities and not such a tiring of the body, and making for better general conditions.
Be sure to take the laxatives and eliminants; that is, the Castoria and the Syrup of Figs, UNTIL the eliminations are obtained, - and take in the small doses.
Then after about a week, when there has been a thorough cleansing of the system and the reactions are obtained, and the body is a bit quiet, - we find that at least two or three general RELAXING treatments osteopathically would be MOST helpful.
Of course, keep the eliminations rather in excess even during the periods that these treatments are being taken. We would take two one week, and one the next, see? This would be the better way.
Ready for questions.
(Q) What causes pains in head and ears?
(A) Nerve pressures from the poisons that are indicated from the incoordination between the liver and the kidneys. Hence the necessity for excess activity of the lymph flow and the flushing of the system, to purify both the kidneys and liver activities.
We are through for the present.
