TEXT

1. EC: Now, we find there are abnormal conditions for this body. They have to do with specific conditions that have and do exist in the physical forces, and affect the functioning of organs and the nerve system, and of the blood supply and its eliminations as affecting the system.
2. Now, these are conditions as we find them in this body, [2236] we are speaking of. First:
3. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, the taxation in the system has produced that condition that at times gives the languidness to the whole body, and the effect of the taxing to the nerve supply affects the system throughout the functioning organs that direct the elimination in the system. Hence the over supply of temperature in the body at times, the abnormal condition in this respect. In the constituents of the blood supply, we find that there is bacilli carried in the system. This is produced more from nerve center taxation than from the organs defective in condition, though it affects organs in their functioning.
4. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, in this, we find the depression to the sensory organism, especially in eyes and the throat and larynx. This taxing to the system then reaches those centers from the first cervical to the fifth dorsal, and all of these centers are inflamed to some extent. This gives then in the various portions of the body those deflections as we find in the pineal, pneumogastric, hypogastric and in the secondary cardiac nerve centers and plexuses. Not that the system is overchanged to the extent of destruction to any of the organs supplied from these centers, but all come under that condition of distress, as heart action, lung force, (that is in respitory [respiratory] forces) throat, eyes and these portions of the system. This is affecting then the sensory system and the organs direct of the portions as traversed by these nerve centers in their reflections. Hence nausea at times. Overtaxed in the organs of elimination, kidneys and liver, intestinal tract, lungs.
5. IN THE ORGANS OF THE SYSTEM, we find these conditions:
6. Brain forces very good.
7. Sensory organism under the effect of the nerve system. The antrums affected, and give much of the condition in the blood force direct.
8. Throat, lungs and larynx functioning under existing conditions. Hence strained.
9. Digestive tract shows the taxing that has been given the system at times, though very good at present.
10. Spleen engorged.
11. Pancreas and liver show the effect of the hypogastric center in its overtaxed action. The right lobe of liver functioning above normal.
12. Digestive tract, in upper portion of intestines, shows the strain through toxins not eliminated in proper manner.
13. Kidneys and hepatic circulation taxed.
14. RELIEF, to give then the best to the system, and to alleviate the condition in the body, we would give that in the system that would allay the condition in blood supply, and give the system sufficient time to re-act from the condition, by rest of the body, through taxing the mental and the nerve system.
15. Take this in the system. To one gallon of rain water, add:

    Yellow Dock Root................2 ounces,
Burdock Root....................2 ounces,
Calisaya Bark...................2 ounces,
Black Root......................2 ounces,
Yellow Root.....................2 ounces,
Elder Flower....................4 ounces.

    Reduce by simmering (not boiling) to one quart. Strain. While warm, add:

    4 ounces of grain alcohol, with
3 drams of Balsam of Tolu cut in it.

16. The dose would be teaspoonful four times each day.
17. Local applications for the condition in antrum and for the eye proper. To rest these would be to use this: the scraped portion of old irish potato, to which would be added sufficient of belladonna to give rest to the eye. This would relieve the pains that come to the head, in the back portion, and applying mud from the bottom of creeks, or in the same vicinity as we have here [See 2236-1, Par. R1], to that portion of the spine from the base of head to the fifth dorsal. This would be applied in evenings and cleansed from body in mornings. Sufficient quantity to relieve the strain in this portion of body.
18. Do that. We will bring the normal condition to this body, [2236].

BACKGROUND

1. 2/21/24 Mr. [195]'s NL: "Please make diagnosis on Miss [2236]...at request of father... Rush papers to above address."

REPORTS

1. GD's note [re 2236-1, Par. 17]: Was EC referring to Los Angeles, Calif., where Miss [2236] lived, or to Overlook Park, Dayton, Ohio, where EC was living - where mud was later prescribed in readings?
2. 3/27/24 Mr. [195]'s letter: "Miss [2236] is taking up prescribed treatment."
