TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here. Now the abnormal conditions in this body have to do with the specific conditions existing in the body at this time and have to do with the functioning of the organs of the trunk portion of the body, they in turn producing the condition we find throughout the system.
2. Now these are the conditions as we find in this body: First, in the circulation we find the blood carrying Bacilli and an infectious Bacilli produced within the system by toxins that have been produced and carried or formed until they are being carried within the blood itself, therefore, producing temperature within the body and the blood itself. The pulse, we find running at the present time 102; temperature in the body at the present time now you see is 99 3/5 (ninety-nine & three-fifths). The nerve forces throughout the body are in a relaxed condition to those produced by the temperature within the system, those especially of the stomach - that is - the pneumogastrics are overcharged at the present time on account of the condition or nausea that is caused by the rejection of the system to absorb or throw off the portions as is being formed by the toxins in the duodenum and the action of the pancrean forces in its high pressure state to act with the system.
3. The nerve forces about the typhus [thymus?] gland showing an enlarged condition; the body is unable to have it organs function properly though the body is well balanced throughout, within the system by the nausea from the stomach condition produced throughout; while the intestinal tract is caused from the condition of the liver, of the splenic action of the forces as those shown over the blood supplying forces through the action to those we have throughout the intestinal tract, being produced by the temperature in the body and the hepatic circulation over sedatives as shown by the action of the urine within the system, or the over action of the kidney secretions in the urine, showing the overcharged forces in the secretions in being thrown off within the body.
4. The bacilli, we find is being carried by the blood at present those that is known as Malaria or toxins from the blood and the intestinal forces themselves and the nervous state as shown through the typhus [thymus?] gland, yet this has not reached this state of this temperature to show as Typhoid, as it would be called, in this condition if allowed to run; it might run slow fever as is produced in the system.
5. We would take in this system after first cleansing the system thoroughly with water for twenty-four hours, so those that have been taken in the system would be relieved from the action of those properties taken in to reduce the temperature; while this is being done, we would bathe the body, especially along the Thyroid - the throat - temples, along the cervicals and the upper part of the dorsal, with Alcohol - (Denatured of course is all right) then we would take into the system; it will be necessary to take three doses - this would be a dose:

   Podophyllin..........2 grains,
Leptandrin...........2 grains,
Dovers Powders.......2 grains.

6. This would be followed after this has been taken into the system by one dose of this:

   Cascara..............1 grain,
Licorice.............1 grain,
Rhubarb..............1 grain,
Sulphate quinine.....1 grain.

   This would be followed after one dose;
7. Let the diet be while in this condition very little, but only those carrying very very small portions of fats or stimulants of any character, soups, preferably. Very small quantities of egg-nog may be given to the body, but very small quantities after five or six days to give strength to the body. Let all of the water that is given, not be iced cold, but just cool, but carry a 20% solution of Glycothermalin [Glyco-Thymoline].
8. Do this, we will break the fever in this body, and let us be careful for a while until the condition improves itself of the things that will rebuild throughout the digestive tract; this body of Mr. [2588].
9. We are through.
