TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [730], present in this room.
2. As we find, there are disturbing conditions in the physical forces of this body, that prevent the better or near normal activity in the physical functionings of the body. These, as we find, have to do with existent conditions in the digestive body and the effects that are created by these conditions in the body.
3. These, then, are the conditions as we find them with this body, [730], we are speaking of, present in this room:
4. We find the BLOOD SUPPLY rather heavy; the tendency for the disturbance in the metabolism, and the activities produced in the heart's forces are reflex rather than organic. Yet these show the poor assimilation that takes place under the distresses that are caused in the system.
5. In the NERVOUS SYSTEMS we find disturbances through the very nature of the conditions as produced for the body, causing at times irritations to a very natural amiable disposition; but at times with the taxation causes irritation to the sympathetic reaction.
6. As to the functioning of the ORGANS themselves:
7. Brain forces are very good.
8. As to the activities from the sensory organism, we find the heavy flow of circulation produces disturbances that are normal under the existent conditions. But with a general reaction that would bring about a better circulation and a normal reaction from the assimilating forces, all of these conditions would be aided materially.
9. Throat, bronchi, lungs, larynx - at times irritations occur, but these are again an effect of the conditions and not disturbances within themselves.
10. Lungs and heart action near normal, when considered with that which has been indicated.
11. In the digestive area, we find in the stomach proper the areas of the greater disturbance; for we have had the gastric flow so increased in the acidity and in the change in the forces of this body itself as to first cause irritations and then some thickening of the walls. These are more as lacerations than ulcerations or other disturbances, in the present. But these make for those tendencies that have caused the liver's activity, the secretions from the ducts of the liver, those activities through the lacteal ducts and the pancrean reactions to become overcharged; and thus we have had first regurgitation from even the duodenum to the stomach proper itself. While the greater pain at times occurs in the cardiac portion of stomach, the pyloric end shows the greater reaction - or the very position of the organ itself as being the portion showing the greater disturbances.
12. The natural reaction through the hepatic circulation is to produce irritations at times to the kidneys, in keeping or attempting to keep the normal balance in the system through this overexercising of the activities in the flow from the gastric forces in the stomach itself.
13. In the general conditions, then, we find these are those that make for disturbing factors with this body, [730], we are speaking of.
14. Now, as we find, in meeting the needs of these conditions within the system, if there are the proper precautions taken by the body itself as to its diet, as to its activities, these may be overcome within the system - if there will be supplied to the system that which will act with the gastric flow of the stomach, the lymph circulation throughout portions of the body itself, and to make the conditions in the body that will create the proper stimulation without a disturbing factor to other portions of the organs that have been or are disturbed.
15. Well, then, that there be at times the high enemas for the relieving first of those pressures in the colon area. These taken once a month for some three, four or five periods, would be relieving to the lower portion of the eliminating system; and thus ridding the system first of those poisons that are in excess or in accumulations that make for reflex activity to the body itself.
16. We would take into the system the Al-Caroid as a compound after the meals. This in small quantities will act with the gastric flow of the system to prevent irritations and the accumulations of the acid nature that make for greater irritations to the disturbing factors. Take a quarter teaspoonful in a full glass of water (dissolved preferably in a small quantity first); after each meal for periods of four or five days - then leaving it off for a few days, then begin again. The periods of taking this may be best determined by the body-activity itself.
17. Before the meals we would take the clary water compound, which would be to those activities of the gastric flow of the stomach itself and to the activity of the pancreas and the system, aiding the assimilations, with the proper balanced elements for the whole system. This would be taken at least twice or three times each day, before the meals - not more than a teaspoonful at the time; and would be prepared in this way and manner:
18. To 16 ounces of distilled water add the 6 ounces of Dry Garden Sage. Boil slowly (not in aluminum, but preferably in an enamel container - with an enamel or glass cover; NOT tin), until the quantity has been reduced to 8 ounces. Strain, and while it is warm, add:

    Simple Syrup............................1 ounce,
(but not made with cane sugar;
preferably beet sugar)
Cinnamon, preferably in stick...........1 ounce,
Ambergris (dissolved in 1 ounce
of grain alcohol)...................15 grains,
Gin.....................................4 ounces.

    Shake this well together each time before the dose is taken.
19. The active principles of each of these ingredients will act upon the digestive system in these manners:
20. The Cinnamon with the carriers are as laxatives for the system that make for active forces with the upper portion of the digestion of the body.
21. Ambergris in its actions is not for the sedimentations but the active forces to allay the tendencies for the glands that secrete or make for accumulations of sugar to be reduced in its quantity.
22. The Gin acts upon the flow for the kidneys, if used in the manner indicated.
23. As to the matter of diet, we would keep away from heavy meats. Not too great a quantity of starches, nor too much of those foods that form easy fermentations; nor too great quantities of spirits frumenti or the activities of same, for these are HARMFUL to the pressure in the blood supply - and the irritations that are produced in the system by the existent disturbing forces in the body.
24. Do these and, as we find, we will bring for this body the greater help and aid, [730].
25. We are through for the present.
