EC: Now in this body, [
2657] we are speaking of here, we
find that most of the trouble or abnormal condition comes
from a specific cause in the system, you see, others affect
the organs of the system, produced from reflex condition of
the system. The body carries within itself the
predisposition towards conditions produced by abuse of self,
you see, so that the blood became affected and produced this
unhealthy, ungainly, unsightly condition in portions of the
body attempting to rid itself of the warrioring between the
physical and mental of itself for the mental is very good.
This humor or bacilli that is carried in the blood produces
the disposition toward that, that would be malignant
eventually. This would be of assistance to relieve or help
to relieve this body: To two gallons of water, we would add,
preferably this should be rain water or distilled water, two
ounces of yellow burdock root, two ounces black snake root,
two ounces of Elder flower, two ounces of yellow root, four
ounces balsam tolu. This would be simmered, not boiled,
until reduced to two quarts, strain and add to this, this
that has been reduced from a quart to a pint, two ounces
prickly ash bark, with four drams of Peruvian bark - put the
bark in the original - add one ounce of alcohol to this
solution to keep. The dose will be tablespoonful before each
meal. This will give an appetite and will relieve this humor
in the blood. This will not cure it. This must be through
the mind, too.
