TEXT

1. LS: You will give the physical conditions of this body at the present time. Also the treatment for the cure and relief of this body. You will answer the following question:
   Is an operation necessary for the better physical conditions of this body?
2. EC: Now, we find the conditions in this body at the present time are exaggerated somewhat from those when we had them here before. We find that in the eliminations and in the upper intestinal tract there is inflammation as created in the system and that the liver does not function in its normal manner from this inflammation, as produced in the ducts that supply the necessary portions to the system to induce the proper assimilation in the blood supply. Hence we find all portions of the system from these centers, as governed by these, strains on the system, especially those in the hypogastric ganglion and in the lower dorsal plexuses in the nerve system.
3. No, we would not operate on this system at the present time, and not needs be were we to carry out these conditions as here.
4. Now, the variation as we find in the present and in that as we have had before, there are these:
5. The astringents in the system as to produce or cause to produce those conditions in the intestinal tract where the Peyer's Gland separate the used chyle from the system and add to the lacteals those of the properties to create the new blood supply acted on the system as astringent and sedative to these forces, and produces too severe a strain as to cause the lesions as formed in system to contract more. All sympathetic nerves then in these portions acting in accord produces strain, soreness, inflammation in the system.
6. As to those properties to eliminate this, by increasing the laxative in the system through that of the exciting of the glands, more of the juices to carry on the condition and eliminate drosses from the system, without the proper stimulus of the nerve plexus governing these, through manipulation failed to give the incentive as proper.
7. How, to give the correct conditions in the body and eliminate those through their channels, we must produce these conditions in this system of [3959] we are speaking of, present in this room. First, the incentive to the lower portion of the duodenum and of the digestive organs in the upper intestinal tract to function near normal, without exciting the action of the hydrochloric or of the acid forces produced in system below the stomach to such a state as to given inflammation in the ducts of the liver proper.
8. Then, to produce this condition, we would take this in the system:
9. Begin by taking small doses of pure Olive Oil, increasing as the system absorbs same, taking 2, 3, then 4 times each day - spoonful - as much as the system will absorb without becoming rancid in the pyloric end of stomach.
10. As to stimulus to the nerve system and to the functioning of the organs of elimination, and for the system as a general condition, take these:

    Tincture of Valerian...............2 ounces,
Bromide of Potassium..............15 grains,
Iodide of Potassium................5 grains,
Elixia Calisaya....................4 ounces,
Extract of Celerena................1 ounce,
Fluid Extract Capsici..............2 minims,
Sufficient simple syrup to make...10 ounces,

    dissolving the Bromide first in the Valerian. The dose would be teaspoonful twice each day, and induce elimination and assimilation properly in the system by manipulation of those centers in the dorsal and lumbar region that forces the properties taken in system to be eliminated through the correct channels (that is the alimentary canal) and through the capillary circulation) so as to relieve the strain on the organs of the lower digestive organs or system.
11. Do that. We will bring the normal forces to this body much better than through operation, and reliving the strain on the whole body, [3959].
