TEXT

1. EC: This body is feeling some better this morning, you see. Has not been feeling good for the last few days. Some better this morning.
2. Now the abnormal conditions we have for the physical forces may be assisted to gain some of their equilibrium. The conditions have to do with the assimilation and elimination in the system, produced by specific causes which affect functioning organs, and the condition becomes the troublesome or distressing forces in the system when that producing the original is more obscure.
3. Now, these are conditions as we find them in this body, [4151], we are speaking of. First:
4. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, we find this rather heavy. Somewhat above the normal in pressure, and carrying much of the dross that should be eliminated in portions of the organs, but these organs have so become overcharged with these toxins as to interfere with their functioning. With the taking in the system of properties that will assist this condition, overcharge the system by those properties acting as astringents to other portions of elimination, and the circulation in capillaries in arterial becomes surcharged with these heavy forces. Not that the body is not active, but this dull, leadened feeling through the limbs, through the pelvis, across the small of the back, kidney pains, the oppression in liver, bad taste in the mouth, headaches between the eyes, is produced by this unequalized elimination in the system, causing disturbance in the blood flow.
5. As to elements above quantity of red blood below in white. Hence we find coagulation is very poor, and abrasions to the cuticle are not easily healed, as we see.
6. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, we find the centers have become rather deadened to the action of incentive on account of astringents and condition of blood supply, and especially in the second and third lumbar, and in ninth and eighth dorsal we find those depressions in the spinal column from strain and depression that gives the impinionment of the nerves governing these portions of the system. Kidneys in their functioning, intestinal tract, especially in the duodenum and pancreas, the upper intestinal, those become involved in this depression of the specific nature. Nature or natural forces in attempting to ward off or meet these conditions have produced lesions in these regions, as given.
7. FUNCTIONING OF ORGANS, in the functioning of organs of the system: Brain forces very good.
8. In the sensory organism depressions come to these organs by the poor elimination and give distress by the action of congestion under strain to the organs of this system.
9. Lung forces very good. Some congestion and overstimulation to bronchials and larynx at present.
10. Heart forces as would be from the condition in the system with the pressure.
11. Digestive tract not in the normal forces, yet meeting the needs of the system very good. Slow and sluggish in secreting the properties necessary for complete digestion, on account of the lack of secretions in pancreas and duodenum.
12. Liver active and in-active. That is, in the excretory functioning we find poor activity, secretives active sufficient, for the excitement of the nerves governing same at times has caused over secretions, yet this has produced in the lower intestinal tract that of the toxin condition in traverse [transverse] colon, and in the lower end of this some troubles experienced. In the hepatics show the condition kidneys are involved by this excess. In the action of kidneys and bladder over-active for the system attempting to eliminate.
13. So, to give the best to this body, we would take those properties in the system that would be that to bring the equalization in elimination and assimilation. Then adjust those portions in the system that prevents this condition from re-occurring in the physical body. Then take this in the system: To two quarts of rain water add:
14. 4 ounces of ambrosia weed or ragweed, and reduce by simmering (not boiling) to one quart. Strain. Then, afterwards, add this to the solution:

    Buchu Leaves................20 grains,
Mandrake Root................5 grains,
Oil of Sassafras............10 minims,
Essence of Cayenne..........15 minims,

    Balsam of Tolu...............3 drams, and
Plain water (rain water)...1/2 pint.

    Reduce this by simmering again to one half the quantity. Strain, and the dose of this would be teaspoonful three times each day. After this first quantity has been taken, begin the adjustments for the physical forces, then take the second quantity. We will find (that is, that is to be taken while treatment is to be taken) when this has been carried through the body will be more physically fit.
15. Do that.
