TEXT

1. EC: Now, we find there are some abnormal conditions for this body and these may be corrected and the body brought to normal conditions. They have, the abnormal conditions, to do with the functioning of organs and with the effect as this, with conditions that have been exercised from the outside, have to do with the organs in other portions of the body in their functioning, affecting the nerve system, affecting the elimination, affecting the body in many ways sympathetically.
2. Now, these are conditions as we find them in this body, [4138] we are speaking of, present in this room. First:
3. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, this we find in very good condition, when other conditions that exist in the physical forces are taken into consideration. While the condition in blood force is not a normal condition, it is near a normal condition for this body and conditions existing in physical force. This condition, however, becomes exaggerated at times and brings great distress in the body through slow or abnormal or subnormal, or to the opposite extremes in the body at times. At such times, heaviness to head and pains to head through central portion and through the pineal nerve plexus.
4. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, there are many centers involved in condition. Especially do we find those in the dorsal region and the lumbar and sacral region involved in conditions, for with the stress and strain that has been placed upon the nerve system by operations in and on the body, and in the region of the pelvis and pelvic organs, the strain to the centers in the lower end of the cerebrospinal or the ileum and sacral plexus of same have become involved in the epineurium of the center proper, and lesions in a form have become existent to a greater or lesser degree, depending upon the cycle of functioning of the organs of the pelvis, and the strain through exercise, either mental or physical, on the body. That is, the nerve system becomes involved more at some times than at others.
5. IN THE ORGANS OF THE BODY THEMSELVES, in the brain forces very good.
6. Organs of the sensory system very good, though strained under high nerve tension at times, and the body suffers reflexly through many of these in various ways, as is shown in the throat and in the ear and in other portions, though a slight condition gives the show of how the body is affected.
7. Lungs, throat and larynx then reflex conditions only, though all show at times the conditions existent.
8. Heart action subnormal, again abnormal with a pressure produced by same according to the cycle of physical functioning.
9. Digestive tract very good in normal conditions. Others times we find, with the nerve strain, the effect is to the digestion and to the functioning assimilation, elimination being affected then by the hypogastric center, especially at times when strain in pelvic region affects the kidneys and produces a strain both in that of the eliminating and of the excretory functioning of the organs (kidneys we are speaking of).
10. In the hepatic circulation then we have a condition at variance in the pelvic organs where we have had troubles and where we have had influences from the outside that have affected the conditions in the body, where there has been removal of strains in the system and where inflammation has been produced. These we find still show the effects, yet may be eliminated through the system instead of being operated upon, for we must remove that producing same in system if we would rid the body of the conditions or the return of these conditions in the system, for the effect comes to the genitive system through the functioning of the Lyden glands in the false pelvis.
11. R E L I E F, then to bring the better conditions and to bring the normal forces to this body, we have specific conditions to be brought in and to the body in this manner and form.
12. First, prepare the system that corrections may be made with incentives created in system for normal functioning of organs.
13. Then take this:
    To one gallon of rain water, add:

    Wild Cherry Bark (Fresh Bark)........2 ounces,
Yellow Dock Root.....................1 ounce,

    Burdock Root.........................1 ounce,
Green, Red or Sweet Clover Blossom...1 ounce,
Prickly Ash Bark, green preferred....1 ounce,
Mandrake Root.......................20 grains,
Buchu Leaves........................30 grains,
Elder Flower.........................4 ounces.

14. Reduce by simmering (not boiling) to one quart. Strain while warm and add 4 ounces grain alcohol, with 3 drams of Balsam of Tolu cut in it, with 2 drams of Balm of Gilead.
15. Shake solution well before taking each dose, which should be two teaspoonsful four times each day, before meals, before retiring.
16. Eat no meats, save fowl or fish. As much vegetable matter as is consistent for the body. Whole wheat or those properties easily digested in system.
17. For the excess of discharge in the organs of pelvis use douches of Creolin. Solution made sufficient strength to be used in proper form.
18. After these properties have been taken in system, and the whole quantity taken, use the vibration that would be accorded the system by the deep manipulation through osteopathic forces, with local treatment with the violet ray electrode.
19. Do that. We will bring the normal conditions to this body.
20. (Q) How often should the osteopathic treatments be given?
    (A) Those will not be given until the medicinal properties have been completed in the system. Then should be taken every second to third day, taking the violet ray forces at the same time, after treatments of osteopathic force.
21. (Q) How long should the violet ray be given each time?
    (A) Five minutes.
22. (Q) How often should the douches be used?
    (A) Every second day, when medicinal properties are being taken, however, only.
23. (Q) How should the body prepare itself to follow the treatment as given?
    (A) Do it.
    Do as we have given, and we will bring the body to its normal functioning.
