TEXT

1. EC: Now we have some conditions in this body that are abnormal, that may be corrected by the taking, or using, of those subjects, or elements, that will change the vibrations in the system. We have the conditions that affect the circulation and the organs, some of them direct, especially in that of the ductless gland forces of the body. The sympathetic system at times suffers from existing conditions. Also, especially, is this shown in the eyes and ears.
2. Now, these are conditions as we find in this body, [4119], we are speaking of. The body is below normal in statue, or in the assimilation of properties as taken for rebuilding the system. Now:
3. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY we find as this:
4. In the rebuilding forces we find the blood very good, save that it carries that bacilli that in the improper elimination in organs produce in the capillaries those conditions that become distressing to the body at times, especially from the viewpoint of those portions of body exposed, or in many not exposed, especially that about the waist here.
5. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, we find the body very good as far as the coordination of nerves with the physical forces of the body is concerned, yet the condition as produced in circulation is from sympathetic nerve system. Hence, as we see, much of the condition is from prenatal forces, as is given in the present body. In the cerebrospinal nerve system we find the sensory organs involved with this. Hence the condition we have in the eyes, and the ears, and the nose at times.
6. IN THE FUNCTIONING OF ORGANS THEMSELVES, we find the body as this: Brain forces very good. One given to much detail. One whose desire of somber colors does not work to the best for the sympathetic system. One whose worries, through the mental forces, become part of its physical condition, as enacted through sympathetics. In the organs of the sensory system, too much secretions there, as there is to the organs of the throat, and especially in the thyroid, and about the epiglottis.
7. In the lungs proper, the body we find at present has some congestion as is produced from the action of climatic conditions with the bacilli as carried in blood, and the combination of the two produces some irritation to portions of the body, mouth, nasal cavities, and dryness of throat.
8. Intestinal tract we find very good at the present time, through the pyloric end of stomach the congestion is produced by nerve tension, as we have given, with the circulation producing poor assimilation, or digestion, after foods have begun to leave the stomach proper. Stomach, itself, we find small, and inclined to be tipped too much to the lower end, by the muscles of the organ becoming too lax and allowing this to drop. This causes much irritation at times, and is part of the trouble causing the headaches, or the pains to secondary cardiac plexus that produces pains in the head, and sick nauseated stomach.
9. Liver torpid, from over-activity through this same condition, and an acid state existing in the system from this, and toxins formed internally give the gaseous expression of the liver itself in its functioning. Hence poor assimilation and elimination misdirected, as it were, for much of those properties that should be eliminated through the dross being excreted by the liver return in the circulation to other portions of the body.
10. In the hepatics we find an irregularity at times, though the body does very well with the conditions existing being so abnormal for the individual entity.
11. In the kidneys, with the overtaxed condition of liver, we find this opposite pole in central portion of the body showing some derangement to the organism of those forces that are governed and controlled by this portion of the body.
12. RELIEF, now, to give the best effect to this body, through this means, we would first give that in the system that will create the balance in the body necessary to overcome the vibrations as created with these conditions, as we have given. Take this:
13. First, we would take 4 ounces of plain ragweed. Reduce by simmering (not boiling) to half the quantity of water (See this is placed in 8 ounces of water). Strain and while warm add this:

    Oil of Sassafras or Essence of Sassafras...10 minims,
Buchu Leaves...............................20 grains,
Golden Seal.................................5 grains.

    This should be well shaken together. The dose would be one teaspoonful twice each day. Alcohol sufficient to preserve this should be mixed with this, two ounces sufficient.
14. Then exercise the body sufficient of evenings, and give the body a thorough rubbing down with coarse cloths along the spine after exercise, and being sponged off with cold water.
15. Do that, [4119].
