TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [1850]. Now, we find there are evidences of there having been - and of there being - disturbances in the physical functioning of organs with the body. Organically, except through functional disorders, we find little distress. Through the FUNCTIONING of organs we find distresses through the eliminations in the body, and especially as related to the kidneys and the bladder. In the hepatic circulation, then, is most of the distress; so that, with the poisons as are seen - and as have been in the system, the attempt of the hepatic circulation to adjust itself without the proper functioning of the liver has made for a greater accumulation of the lymph as would care for condition to form in the pelvis; and pressure from same in the lower extremities produces this distress through the exterior portion, also hindering or causing the circulation to produce an irritation as a rash, as swelling. This makes also for those conditions reflexly as produce some temperature, with bad breath, with the effect of the stomach's producing a regurgitation, with an over-acidity, with a tendency of quick pulsation - though no organic disorder with the heart itself. Chapped lips easily; cold taken easily, and the tendency to cough from irritation being produced in the bronchi and trachea. These are the reflexes, and these are the conditions as we find with this body, [1850].
2. In bringing about the normal forces for the system, we find not only will it be necessary to bring about nominal or normal eliminations and an establishing of an equilibrium in the hepatic circulation - producing more of an activity through the WHOLE of the liver and not arousing just a portion, or the bile ducts or the gall acting more with the digestive forces - but the whole effect of same must be changed; so that the lobe or granular forces in same themselves function in the nearer normal. These, as we find, will be increased most by the use of THESE as properties taken internally into the system, and taken for a period - rest - taken another period and rest - until at least three courses of same have been taken, allowing at least seven days between each course taken. Three capsules would be prepared each time, and as these. This in each capsule:

   Podophyllum......................1/2 grain,
Cascara Sagrada..................1/4 grain,
Senna............................1/4 grain,
Dover's Powders..................1/4 grain,
Leptandrin.......................1/2 grain.

   Prepare three at a period, and let one whole day - or twenty-four hours - be between the doses. After the last dose, take a large dose - that is, the next morning - of Milk of Magnesia - two tablespoonsful of a dose. Rest seven days, then take another course of the same.
3. We would also find that the electrical vibration - especially of the low form of the sinusoidal - should be applied to the 4th lumbar and to the 5th cervical, and in the NEXT application should be applied to the 3rd dorsal and the 4th lumbar.
4. Also the manipulations or the gentle massage over the whole body about twice each week will cause the general distribution of the forces in the body.
5. We would find, too - for the irritation through the organs of the pelvis - that the use of creolin in very minute quantities, or a teaspoonful to a gallon and a half of tepid water used as douches, would be beneficial.
6. In the matter of the diet, keep those that are ALKALIN. Little or no meats. When potatoes or rice, or those that are extra starchy are used, these may be eaten with the gravies of meats, provided they are NOT too heavy in greases.
7. These, as we find, will bring about the normal forces for this body. Ready for questions.
8. An outline for a diet for the body would be:
9. In the mornings - a grapefruit, or orange, followed with a small quantity of rolled oats with some milk - or of a dry cereal.
10. Of noon - preferably those of green vegetable salads. This may be taken with small quantity of mayonnaise, or of such dressing - but PREFERABLY those of the tapioca with OLIVE oil would be the better.
11. In the evening there may be taken the cooked vegetables, with the gravies - beans, lentils, spinach, and such. These, as we find, would be the proper distribution of food values for the body.
12. The manipulations may be taken twice each week - would be sufficient, and we will find that by the time the third dose is taken, or third period of arousing of the liver and the eliminations, the body should be the near normal.
13. When the baths are taken, it will be found that a stimulation of the cerebrospinal system - especially with COLD water - will be most helpful.
14. Little or no stimuli as of coffee or tea. These may be taken ONCE each day. Milk may be taken in moderation. No food values that will produce any character of intoxicating nature. Hence the variation in the foods taken, for alcoholic forces are irritant especially to the liver and hepatic circulation. Ready for questions.
15. (Q) Would wild game be permissible?
    (A) Be very LITTLE of same.
16. We are through for the present.
