TEXT

1. LS: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find at the present time. You will diagnose the case thoroughly, giving the cause of the existing conditions, also the treatment for the cure and relief of the body. You will answer any questions I shall ask you relative to the physical conditions of this body.
2. EC: Now we find there are many abnormal conditions in this body. These have to do with many of the functioning organs in the system and the effect as is produced from one organ to another. While we have specific conditions also, these are but effects rather than that preventing the system from adjusting itself in the physical and becoming near the normal.
3. The seat, or the beginning, of the trouble we find dates back many moons, and had to do with first an accident that happened to the body, then conditions that arose in the system and this condition become exaggerated, bringing about specific conditions in system, affecting eliminations and assimilations in the body, and only the vital forces and the spiritual elements preventing at times dissolution.
4. Now these are conditions as we find them in this body, [3749] we are speaking of. First:
5. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, much in the blood supply has to do with conditions in the body at the present time, though this not the beginning or seat of the trouble.
6. At the present time we find the blood supply in itself strong internal, very weak in eliminations. Hence low in metabolism and in the resistance in the body, for while red blood cells are created by the vibrations accorded the body, the division in plasmatic cell and coagulation in lymphatic and leucocyte is very slow. Then we find the body losing its resistance in the system.
7. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, we find the beginning or the seat of the troubles in plexus that have been, and are, still impinioned to the extent that the impingement produces disturbances in the functioning of the system, especially in the eliminations, and affected directly the locomotories in the plexus about which the disturbance came. The disturbance first occurred in the second center of the coccyx and disturbed the ilium and sacral plexus. These brought irritations to the kidneys and eliminations through the mesentery plexus and glands. This disturbed the equalization of the blood supply through the portion of the system until the lesions were formed in sacral plexus, sufficient for nutriment to be distributed in the lower portion of body, yet deflected. In the effect this then produced on the functioning of the organs, first in the sympathetic system this produced disturbance in digestion, in heart's action and specifically in the mental equilibrium as regarding physical attributes in the body.
8. IN THE ORGANS THEMSELVES, brain forces have been VERY good. At present depressed through mental worry over outside influences and the burden self makes to others.
9. In the organs of sensory system, these show the deflection in the sympathetic system.
10. Lung forces very good, save as an impaired circulation shows in a body kept from the outside forces.
11. Heart's action near normal for existing conditions, though dilated.
12. Digestive system at present fairly good.
13. Liver engorged from conditions where eliminations have been attempted to be forced through the body.
14. The lower digestion shows the irritation to which the mesentery glands in dorsals and lumbars are put.
15. In pelvic organs all disturbed by the conditions existing in the lower portion of the body.
16. In the kidneys the eliminations in the emunctories show the strain to which the body has been placed, and the engorgement of conditions under such strain.
17. The vibrations and conditions as accorded in the system show the condition rather than cause being treated.
18. Then, to bring the better condition to this body, and to bring about the normal forces (this may be accomplished through care, attention, persistence, and consistent action of the body itself and of others applying same), we would first take into the system these properties:

    Syrup of Sarsaparilla..............2 ounces,
Fluid Extract Wild Cherry..........2 ounces,
Fluid Extract Stillingia...........2 ounces,
Fluid Extract Yellow Dock Root.....2 ounces,
Fluid Extract Poke Root..........1/2 ounce,
Fluid Extract Burdock Root.........2 ounces.
Sufficient simple syrup to make 12 ounces.

19. The dose would be beginning first with 10 drops, taken 4 times each day, increasing every 3rd day 3 drops, until a teaspoonful is taken, either in water or water following. Give these until at least half the quantity is taken.
20. Then begin and apply those properties of mud as found in the stream that lies to the North and West of the home here, to the lower portion of the spine. Apply this in quantity sufficient to bring healing properties to the body. Apply from end of coccyx to the lower dorsal.
21. After this has been applied for two weeks, applied each day, cleansing in morning, and massaging the body over the lower portion and up to the brachial plexus with olive oil, apply to the limb where abrasions are seen those properties as found in equal parts of Plantain Root Tea and Oil of Butterfat.
22. Do this, keeping the diet in the manner that will bring eliminations to the system, using high enemas when necessary to remove feces and poisons from the system. We will bring the body to the better and normal conditions.
23. Do that.
24. (Q) How often should the Plantain and Butterfat be applied?
    (A) Twice each day, cleansing with the antiseptic when removed from abrasions.
25. (Q) Is the mud to be applied in the evening and cleansed in the morning?
    (A) Applied in the evening and cleansed in the morning, and the massage given at that time with pure olive oil.
26. (Q) If the treatment is persistently followed, as suggested, will the body be able to walk?
    (A) The body will be able to walk, provided the vibrations are given as has been outlined, and the mental, the spiritual forces in the entity respond to the endeavors from the outside.
27. We are through.
