TEXT

1. LBC: You have before you Mr. [3798] who is in this room with you. Go over him carefully, examine him thoroughly and tell us what his condition is now.
2. EC: Yes, here he is, we have had him here before. Some conditions in the body are bettered, others are not so well as before. You see, we have in the system now, as we have had before, the trouble in this body of [3798] with the digestion, and the appendages to it, through the duodenum, pancreas, colon and intestinal tract of the system. That is, inside the body.
3. Beginning first with the troubles from the stomach and action of the juices, of the properties, things taken into the stomach, acted on by the juices of the stomach by the liver, secreted by the Pancreas; those by the smaller intestines passes into the sacrum, through the intestine, producing the condition we have had through the system. The reflexes from these produce the condition we have in the physical body of the man. We have outside, these functions here, producing then functional trouble with the kidneys and with the liver. We have had into the system here those properties which have relieved in part the conditions we have had existing at first here in the kidneys. We had those which produce an over-stimulation to the kidneys through the circulation, or the hepatics along the spine here from these ends of the nerve force supplying to these until we produce an over-taxation of these in the system, producing a state of recklessness to the nerve forces supplying to these, producing nausea to the stomach, pains along the upper part of the stomach and down the left side, as it were shifting about from those, relieving the troubles then in these at times here. We produce a sensation then to the lymphatics through the sympathetic circulation, producing to the emunctories of the body here, to these centers in the lymphatics, a tiredness, you see and languidness of the whole system; tired of any action to the brain forces or any exertion, especially to the lower part of the body; pains across the back just above the pelvis.
4. These are the conditions we have in this body of [3798] from the condition existing from the trouble caused by the lack of digestion of the food taken into the stomach proper, or lack of action on to these properties taken into the stomach by the liver. We produce then into the stomach a state of passing into the lower end of the duodenum and stops and becomes into cakes, is passed on by the forces, acted on by the system here, exertion of the body here, passed into the lower intestine here, passed the action of the secreting by the pancrean juices, comes into the system along the intestinal tract, until we have it in the system here, in the smaller intestine in this same state, undigested as it were through the bowels here until we have the condition existing in the system at the end of the sacrum or at the appendix, (this is not here anymore) producing inflammation here.
5. Now we have these forces producing this lack of juices, secreted from the liver in itself proper here, carried to, or going on in the system, as we have had an overstimulation to these forces, secreting and excreting force in these functions, here, that of the blood and nerve force in itself proper, excreting the juices, passed into the intestinal tract, aiding the digestion, acted on by the pancrean juice here below, until we have it assimilated then to be passed into the new blood, as we have in the force acted on here in the left shoulder. These same forces you see, act here in turn, with the air or respiratory organs of the system, here above the stomach, to produce this gas in the stomach, by choking up in the lower end, and of course will produce the same effect to the diaphragm in the system between the lung and the stomach or digestive organs and air cells in the body. This produces these intercostal pains that we have here along the lower end of the lungs at times, - quick breath, see?
6. (Q) What treatment would you prescribe to relieve these conditions now?
   (A) Take into the system something to relieve the condition we have existing through the digestive tract, - something that will act on these forces which should be acted directly on by the liver itself, or something that will act on the forces or liver to produce more secretion to the system of the juices to be used in the digestion here; something to act on the liver to produce at the same time a force that will help to excrete from the system these ends or used up forces by the blood and nerve ends here, - get away with this tired feeling in the system. At the same time, we have the force to aid in throwing out, very good here through the kidneys as we have had. Still have some inflammation through the bladder from the amount of matter thrown out through these organs.
   Take into the system here, into the stomach, magnesia. Do not take these all along at once. We have acted on the system, according to what is taken into the system. Take now at present here for the system, the clara [clary?] water, and powdered leaves of rag weed, which acts directly on to the liver in itself, the same thing as we have in the liver regulator may be had here. These act on the forces into the liver, producing an excretion of the juices from the system, to act on to the juices passing through the intestinal tracts. At the same time, it will produce an over-stimulation to the forces to be thrown put by the kidneys, which is the opposite pole as it were in the body, in eliminating from the system the poisons excreted from it by the kidneys, by the liver, and thrown out by the kidneys from the system through the water which is taken into the body. Plenty of water into the system at all times. As warm water as possible at all times, not cold water. Not have the water hot that he drinks, but so it is palatable to the system. Hot water if it is possible here after he has taken these medicines in the system, just as hot as he can drink it. It quenches thirst and acts on the kidneys themselves, and what is taken in the system is acted on by these things taken into the stomach. Manipulation of the body here with the hands will improve the system from the outside. That is, it takes up these forces that have been used in the system, and assists them to be carried out from the system. Unless we have an over-stimulation of these along the spine here at the solar plexus and at the helia, or here at the 2nd and 3rd lumbar, which produced an over-stimulation to the kidneys, producing a restlessness or action on the nerve force in the system, which produces the same effect we have had in the system before. This body should be improved. It is not very sick, you see, just always sick.
