In this condition, then, with toxins left in system, with the
amount of tobacco used, this also produced, then, in the
digestive system, those distressing conditions that produced
something like the lumps, or masses, in the stomach proper,
that did not pass off through the regular channels. This in
turn brought the distressing condition to the upper portion
of the stomach, and ulcerations at times shown in the cardiac
end of the stomach, see? The condition in the lower portion
of stomach brought the condition of the combined form to the
lower end of the digestive system, and with this the
increased irritation in the colon, and the ulcerations and
protuberances as shown in rectum at times, where the result
of this condition following through the alimentary canal.
The outdoor exercise, the open air, all went to assist, and
the condition still remaining within system, and not reached
by those various conditions applied, has brought about that
combination of conditions and complications as exist at the
present time, though many of those conditions accorded the
system from time to time proved beneficial in part, yet never
correcting the condition which caused same, which was the
toxins from system aggravated by the diet as was taken in
system. As these conditions progressed from time to time,
certain portions of the cerebro-spinal system naturally
became involved. Lesions have formed along various portions,
as is seen in the lower dorsal, in the lumbar region, and
especially across the back and in the limbs, do we find the
effect of these toxins, as show in the joint and marrow, as
it were, of the various portions of body.
In the conditions as we find existent at the present:
In the blood stream we find the effects of those conditions
as have existed from time to time, also that there are still
toxins being created in system that does not keep the system
in that way of replenishing, even though much improvement has
been shown, and IS being shown in the body at the present
time, through rebuilding cellular forces created in system,
through blood stream and through the general rebuilding
system.
IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, as this:
Many of the centers in cerebro-spinal and in the extremities,
or in the structural portion of the body, through which nerve
ganglions and lines, as it were, pass, show that, with
lesions formed, many of these have become depressed, through
the condition existent, as is seen in the sacral - this
reflex from condition in the body, also from the muscular
structure in same, as well as the lesions as formed.
IN THE FUNCTIONING OF THE ORGANS, brain forces are very good
- very clear for one of the temperament, of the age, of the
conditions as have been existent.
Throat, bronchials, lungs, larynx, all show effect of
DIS-use, and abuse, as well as of the toxic condition as has
existed, see?
The stomach in a much better condition than it has been in
times back, though still shows something now in the pyloric
end of the condition as existed in the cardiac end in times
back, though not lacerated or ulcerated at the present;
rather that as of the system attempting to overcome, and by
rest, and by not so much food in system, has formed lobes, or
enlargements, in the walls of the pyloric end of stomach, and
in duodenum.
In the liver - not active as it should be.
Pancreas very good, for the strain under which it has
labored.
Spleen much smaller than normal.
The intestinal system still shows those conditions as have
existed, and do exist, as does the kidneys, from the
overtaxed condition.
In the extremities, and in structural portion, still shows
contraction, the inability of normal use of the system, see?
Now, to meet the needs of these conditions, it will take
care, attention, persistence, and consistent usage of all
conditions as exist, have existed, to rebuild properly, with
the age considered, that necessary for recuperation and
correction in the body.
Then, we should first take those of sweats - warm time to
take sweats, but TAKE SWEATS, to relax this body thoroughly,
see? These may be taken either in cabinet, or in blanket, or
by electrical boxes - that is, in box lined with electric
lights, and the body closed in. Following this the body
should be rubbed down well, see? and the adjustments,
osteopathically given, following such sweats, see? This
should be done at least once each week, see? for at least
four to five weeks.
During this time no meats of any character are to be taken.
Milk, eggs, and those of all the OIL the body is able to
assimilate - olive oil, and white oil, or Usoline. All that
the body will assimilate. Green vegetables, and the fruits.
This will weaken the body, yet we must start eliminations in
the normal way and form, see?
Then, when this has been carried out, and we find we have set
up the correct adjustments, and the correct eliminations have
been set up, then we would begin with high enemas, using the
antiseptic of an alkaline nature in the water as is taken
(using the Cascade elevator). These, as we will see, will
cleanse the colon - will also, as we see, with the sweats and
with the enemas, relieve the pressure as is shown on and in
the kidneys.
For the condition in the rectum, use those properties as have
been given for that condition as is seen has been existent is
bettered at present, but will become again, by the RELAXING
of the alimentary canal throughout.
Follow this condition, then, with the osteopath treatments
still being given for four weeks more. Then we would give
that which would be the correct thing for the further
adjustments and corrections, though we find the body will
feel better and nearer normal at that time.
We are through for the present.
