TEXT

1. EC: Now, we find there are some exaggerated conditions in the system that are abnormal, and by the exaggerated conditions we mean that conditions have arisen of a specific nature that have accentuated conditions that have existed and they have become abnormal. They have to do with the nerve system, the nerve plexuses and the effect these conditions at this time produce upon the nerve system and the functioning organs of the nerve system.
2. In the conditions then, we find as these: In the 4th lumbar plexus and in the 7th dorsal plexus that they cause the main cause of the trouble. The first was in the dorsal and recently we have had a strain on the lumbar until the plexus has become inflamed from this condition and produces a taxation over the whole system, and accentuating that condition sympathetically in the dorsal region. This affects then the head, the eyes, the digestion in the stomach itself proper, the kidneys and the whole exterior nerve plexus that governs much of the capillary circulation, causing hot and cold flushes, pains in the back of the head, along the neck. The side gives trouble at times. Digestion seems deranged. Gas easily forms upon the stomach, and when this has subsided we suffer from the conditions of this passing through the system, as it were. These coming, we see, as reflex conditions and accentuating the abnormal functioning of the organs in the various portions of the body.
3. RELIEF, now, to relieve these conditions, we would take that in the system that will neutralize the effect of those conditions already created and being produced in the functioning organs. So we will take those properties that will affect the nerve system proper in a manner without producing the alleviation through deadening of pain but by giving the incentive for proper functioning in the system. Also that which will produce the proper assimilation in the upper and lower intestinal digestion. That also which will produce in the kidney the proper assimilation and the proper elimination of properties that should be eliminated through these portions of the system. Also that which will function with the emunctories of the liver and cause the flow into the system, those properties that will bring the blood to its normal forces, correcting at the same time with the manipulation necessary through osteopathic or chiropractic forces, but rather that of the massage than the chiropractic adjusting, though both will become necessary.
4. Those properties taken in the system will be as these:

   Tincture of Valerian.............2 ounces,
Iodide of Potassium..............8 grains,
Bromide of Potassium............20 grains,
Elixir Calisaya..................2 ounces,
Sweet Spirits of Nitre..........10 minims,
Oil of Peppermint................2 minims.
Sufficient Simple Syrup to make 10 ounces.

   The dose would be half a teaspoonful in water every four hours.
5. The osteopathic manipulation or adjustments through osteopathic manipulation should be at least every other day, until the assuaging of the inflammation being produced in system is affected, and then until the condition is corrected properly every third to fourth day.
6. Let the diet be those properties that carry much vegetable matter. Not meats of a great deal, and no hog meat at all.
7. Do this. We will bring this body to its normal forces within from two to three moons.
