EC: We have the body, those conditions about the body,
[
629]. Now, we find there are disturbing factors in the
physical forces of the body. These, we find, are from
DIFFERENT causes, or a combination of causes or disorders.
Some from the very nature of condition and period affect
directly the nervous system, through pressures and undue
activities that are caused from the pressures in the lumbar
and lower dorsal region. Others, we find an accumulation
from the effects of cold and congestion and the manner in
which this has affected the eliminating system; so that the
poisons or accumulations in same produce toxic forces,
affecting the assimilating and eliminating forces of the
body. The liver and the spleen become involved in this.
Hence we find as these effects from these conditions: Dull
headaches of mornings, tendency of evenings (if on the feet
very much) for swelling in the lower limbs, and accumulations
that make for acute pains in locomotion or in muscular forces
of the system; nausea in the afternoon, or tendency of a
heaviness in the stomach; easily irritated, and these
conditions - as we find - may be aided or removed entirely
from the system, will the proper precautions be taken in time
for the removal and the re-adjustments of the system to meet
the needs of the conditions.
In meeting these in the present, we would find that - will
those applications in corrective measures be made for the
conditions that exist along the cerebro-spinal system,
alleviating the pressures that exist especially in the lumbar
and in the dorsal region, also alignments - as it were - and
relief of pressures in the cervical regions, or that as to
the head from the central nervous system, also from the
central circulatory system, with the stimuli to the digestive
forces and eliminating forces - we would bring about a much
bettered and an even condition in the system.
These we would take or prepare in TWO different preparations.
First as this:
To 4 ounces of simple syrup add:
Elixir of Calisaya..................2 ounces,
Syrup or Oil of Sassafras..........40 minims,
Tincture of Valerian..............1/2 ounce,
10% solution Iodide Potassium......40 minims,
10% solution Bromide Potassium.....20 minims,
Tincture of Capsici.................3 minims.
The dose would be half a teaspoonful in water or plain
two or three times each day. Especially in the afternoons
or evenings would this be taken.
We would also prepare as THIS - make as a carrier for these:
Take Wild Cherry Bark 6 ounces, in 8 ounces of distilled
water. Reduce to 1/2 the quantity. Then add:
Compound Syrup of Sarsaparilla......1 ounce,
Dried or Powdered Podophyllum.......2 grains,
Tincture of Buchu Leaves...........10 minims,
Tincture or Essence of Wild Ginger
(not tame)......................20 minims.
Cut 1/2 ounce Balsam of Tolu in 2 ounces 85% alcohol and
add to solution.
The dose of this (and shake together before it is taken)
should be half a teaspoonful twice each day.
The diets should be those that are easily assimilated, and
that are nerve building; that is, a great deal of green
vegetables - or at least one meal each day should be of green
vegetables, though mayonnaise or oil dressings may be used
with same.
Breakfasts should be of cereals OR citrus fruits, but BEST
not combine same together.
Evening meals may be of a little meats. Fish, oysters or
shell fish may be taken in moderation. No STRONG meats or
red meats!
The eliminations should be aided, with these properties
taken, by taking high enemas or irrigations at least twice
each month. Also when necessary we would use the douches for
the cleansing of the irritation that occurs in the pelvic
region and organs. These we would use with antiseptics that
clarify or cleanse the system.
The manipulations and adjustments would be well to be taken
at least twice each week.
Ready for questions.
(Q) How can she lose some of her weight?
(A) If the proper precautions are taken as respecting
those conditions that are taken as the diet, and the proper
eliminations set up through the SWEATS - or those of the
water cures that are given - WITH these properties taken for
making the corrections - we will lose weight NOMINALLY, and
NOT be harmful.
We are through for the present.
