Then, the conditions must be corrected, or this disorder as
indicated will be the type of complications that would arise.
The organ, the liver itself, with its contributory reactions,
as the spleen and the kidneys, show the greater disorders.
While this may not be termed as yet wholly cirrhosis of the
liver, the spots and the hardening in portions indicate that
it is bordering on that condition. Also the condition in the
gall ducts, and the excretions that come from the pancreas
and duodenum, make the improper assimilation of elements in
system. Also there are those tendencies for the membranes of
the colon and area to become dry, or a tendency for the lack
of peristaltic movement, or for the lymph circulation to be
proper through same, causing a pressure at times on the
bladder and inflammation, naturally, to the kidneys. All of
these are secondary, but will become complications unless
there is the removal of the pressures in the system so as to
allow a more normal, nominal reaction of the assimilating
system; for without the proper assimilations the vitality and
the strength are gradually being used up, or burned up, in
the attempt of the system to draw on the strength of same to
supply the proper nutriment to the whole system. This is not
a jaundice condition; rather more the torpidity of the liver,
from hardening condition; though the indications in the
system indicate that this in itself might become one of the
complications, in the reaction to the organs affected by the
disturbance.
In meeting the needs of the conditions in the present, as we
would find, this would be the manner in which this might be
done:
First, begin with the Castor oil packs over the whole liver
area. These we would apply at least twice each day until
there is a full reaction from the effects of the oil upon the
lymph about the circulation in the liver proper.
To indicate that this has been accomplished, we would begin
immediately (that is, in each day) with as high enemas as
possible to cleanse the colon, using in the slush water a
tablespoonful and a half of Glyco-Thymoline for each gallon
of water. The water should be tepid, not too hot nor yet too
cold but to act as a cleansing. In the last water used as an
emit (that is, in the last for cleansing), put at least a
tablespoonful of the agar or Petrolagar - the alkalin nature.
Stir this thoroughly, so that there will be rather the
tendency for the agar to cling to those portions of the colon
area that show inflammation by the cleansing so often, that
the reactions from the applications to the liver and duodenum
area have no regurgitation or reaction from the caecum and
transverse and descending colon area.
We would also begin (after the third or fourth day with the
treatments of the oil packs) with the olive oil, ALL THAT THE
BODY WILL ASSIMILATE. Taken in broken doses will be the most
helpful.
Also we would begin with Castoria in small doses, after the
third or fourth day. Let this not interfere with the taking
of the olive oil, for the olive oil will be as a food value,
while those reactions created in the liver by the Castor oil
from without and the Castoria from within (and be sure it is
Fletcher's) will bring about the absorption of these
properties so as to make a softening of the liver lobes that
are in distress. The secretions of the duodenum will be
aided, as well as the activity of the gall ducts themselves.
Having the system cleansed in the colon area should bring
relief. This will make for weakness, for - to be sure -
the temperatures that arise from toxic forces, and from the
strain on the system, will leave the body rather in a fagged
condition.
During these periods the diet should be as follows:
Mornings - citrus fruit juices only, which may be followed
with a rice cake or brown toast, with a cereal drink such as
Ovaltine, burnt rye, or the like.
Noons - these meals should be rather of meat juices or
broths, whether vegetables or meat juices these would be
well.
Evenings - rather those foods that are DIGESTED! just the
opposite from what would ordinarily be given, but DIGESTED
foods - such as the dry milk, the reaction from blancmange,
arrowroot, flour or cakes of popcorn well ground, or of such
natures, as the body RESTS - will create the absorption and
reaction such as to bring better digestive reactions in
system.
Take sufficient of the Castoria to act thoroughly. It should
be taken half a teaspoonful every half hour until the bowel,
the upper bowel and the liver, has acted thoroughly, or until
there is the moving out of those conditions that are released
by the application in the duodenum area.
After the Castoria has acted thoroughly, then take two ounces
of Milk of Bismuth in which there is put at least twenty
minims of lactated pepsin. This should be taken as a dose
once each day, also, when this is begun, and the eliminations
should be kept up through the high enemas.
Do that.
Ready for questions.
(Q) How long at a time should the oil packs be left on?
(A) Put on as hot as can be well stood by the body and let
them remain until they are entirely cold; from an hour to an
hour and a half twice each day.
(Q) Should the whole two ounces of Bismuth with the twenty
drops of lactated pepsin be taken at once?
(A) That's given as a dose, one dose. Yes, it's a large
quantity - but four ounces is not too much!
(Q) How long should this be kept up?
(A) Until there is the thorough cleansing of the whole
system.
(Q) If at any time it is necessary to call a physician,
which one in ... would be advised?
(A) One that would give some treatments without giving
medicine internally; for unless they would give medicine to
coordinate with this it would be more harmful to the body.
We are through for the present.

possible, as I must have relief of some kind soon. In the
