EC: Yes, we have the body here. He is suffering from uremic
poison. It is in the circulation of the body, and especially
to the lower limbs, and to the pelvis. You see, the body
here, [
3913], at times back has suffered from a strain at
the second lumbar. The muscular forces at this vertebra
have been wrenched, and has produced a lowness of the
cartilaginous forces between the two, until we bring to bear
on to the nerve supplies to the lower extremities here, and
to the reflexes to those of the kidneys, a strain or filling
up of the muscular walls of these, until we effect the
organs themselves. That is, the kidneys, in the discharge
of their duties to the body, in eliminating the secretions
of the poisonous matters from the system, left there by the
circulation, through the hepatics. As these begin to form,
we have a lesion formed there, begun at first. As these
begin to form into the system, with not the elimination of
this, it forms a backing into the system of matter which
should be eliminated. That goes into the circulation, and we
impair the building properties of the circulation in itself,
until in its nature to restore itself here, it forms then the
condition we have in the system.
It affects the nerves and muscles of the pelvis, through the
branch end; the cerebrospinal nerve center forces; those of
the sympathetics, through the celium plexus; those of the
sciatics, along each side of the limb; those of the genatory
system through the front part of the body, through the
testicles themselves; those through the parts of the organ
and the opposite pole, through the digestion and liver,
from the reflex pains we have. The general condition of the
system becomes impaired. We have the general debility in
the whole body, hence the color we have of the body itself,
as to the capillaries you see. Low capillary circulation.
The non-elimination of these secreting organs, the blood in
these, effect, of course, the pulmontories [pulmonaries?],
that is the lungs, through the discharge or what they throw
off, or the amount of hytrogenious gas thrown off by them.
To relieve the troubles we have in this body, first remove
the lesions here in the pelvis at the second lumbar,
by manipulation of the spinal column itself, straining
these into the correct conditions, as should be; by local
applications to remove the inflammation afterwards, or warm
applications; into the system, that of matters which help to
eliminate these poisons from the system, or that of spirits
of frumenti, in connection with syrup of sarsaparilla.
(Q) Any other treatment you would suggest?
(A) The spirits of frumenti and syrup of sarsaparilla;
litheoid, or that in form of toris compound. That acts on
the blood and the secretions of the properties themselves.
Exercise of the limbs, - the lower extremities here, as much
as possible, else we will have a form of locomotory ataxia.
(Q) Any other treatment?
(A) This will do now. Follow it along as it removes
the conditions. If we have inflammation set up from
the condition it produces, of course it will have to
be treated for those conditions there.
