TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here. Now the abnormal conditions as we find in this body have to do with the functioning of the organs themselves, with the nervous system and the circulation and with the effect this has produced over the system.
2. Now these are conditions as we find in this body; [3979] we are speaking of: Through the blood supplying forces we find the blood deficient in its ability to rebuild the cellular force necessary to keep the body in its normal activity, this condition in the blood force being caused by the poor elimination through all of the organs that go about to effect elimination in the system, especially through the emunctory and lymphatic circulation.
3. The organs assisting to create the blood forces through their own activity are deficient in their activity, hence the high hepatic circulation. The trouble the body experiences with the intestinal indigestion, with the improper elimination through the kidneys and the liver, through at times the circulation so throws off from the system the improper secretions. This is only the natural means, the system attempting to relieve the conditions throughout the body.
4. Through the nerve forces we find the brain action is very good. Through the centers along the spine where we find some lesions the congestion within the system, in times back, so surcharged the system as to cause the production within and about these ganglia or centers as to over-tax these nerve centers and to give the improper or involuntary action of these centers, so as to cause the conditions as produced within the body and the circulation to be deflected, to leave in these centers that incentive that should go about to make the perfect poise of the body in its activities through the mental state. It also produces the effect causing the physical condition. This lesion we find especially near the brachial plexus and the lower end of the solar plexus center, hence the weakened condition to perfect functioning of the organs of the pelvis and those through the brachial plexus, giving to those portions of the body the reflex action of the condition existing in the nerve force with the effect it has produced upon them.
5. Through the organs themselves we find through the larynx, the throat and the organs of the sensory system become near to the incentives as thrown out by the condition through the emunctories and the lymphatic circulation. Hence the condition we find here; how that the fulness through the digestive tract. We find with the lesion, as formed with the lower end of the solar plexus nerve centers, that it governs reflexly the conditions as experienced by this body when there is an over amount of food taken into the system. The stomach becomes full - hard for digestion to take place properly without the formation of gas pressure and fullness of this portion of the body, especially in the pyloric end and the duodenum.
6. The liver presents the condition as we have given, caused more by the poor elimination than by the effect produced by the foods in the system. The body does not assimilate well and this is the cause. Through the intestinal tract we find by this nerve force and over stimulus. The secretions are over abundant without being properly eliminated. Hence the impacts that appear through the ascending and traverse colon.
7. To give the relief to this body, we would take first that in the system that will cleanse the entire intestinal tract without exciting an overly abundance of the lymphatic forces through this intestinal tract. Then we would give that into the system, that which would create in its assimilation that which would rebuild properly. Take this:
8. To two gallons of water, rain water preferred, we would add:

   Sarsaparilla Root................4 ounces,
Wild Cherry Bark.................2 ounces,
Burdock Root.....................2 ounces,
Yellow Dock Root.................2 ounces,
Dogwood Bark.....................1 ounce,
Prickly Ash Bark.................1 ounce.

9. We would reduce this by simmering, not boiling, until reduced to one quart and one pint. We would then strain while warm; add:

   Grain alcohol....................6 ounces,
with
Balsam of Tolu...................3 drams,
dissolved in it.

10. The dose would be two teaspoonsful three times each day, about one-half an hour before meals are taken.
11. After this has all been taken, we would then add this to the system:
    To one gallon of rain water, we would add:

    Garden Sage......................8 ounces.

    Reduce by simmering, not boiling, to one quart. Strain. While warm, add:

    Cane Sugar.......................4 ounces,
Ambergris.......................15 grains,
dissolved in
Grain alcohol....................1 ounce,
and
Grain alcohol....................4 ounces,
with
Oil of Juniper..................24 minims,
dissolved in it, and
Cinnamon.........................3 drams,
in the stick or bark.

12. The dose of this would be tablespoonful twice each day, when first arising in the morning and just before retiring. Do this and we will find we will relieve the conditions in this body here.
13. (Q) Will this relieve the rupture?
    (A) When we relieve the condition in the intestines we will relieve the rupture, see. We are through.
