TEXT

1. GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find at the present time. You will diagnose the case thoroughly, giving the cause of the existing conditions, also the treatment for the cure and relief of this body.
2. EC: Now, we find this body very good in many respects. There are those conditions that, were they corrected, would give the more normal functioning of the system and prevent those conditions from distressing the body at times that occur.
3. Now, these are the conditions as we find them in this body, [4207] we are speaking of. First:
4. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, this we find below the normal in the numbers of the red blood produced in the system for the building and replenishing of the body as it should. This is produced by specific conditions that hinder this in the system, and while the body functions in many ways, this deficiency gives distresses to portions of the system in many different ways, under different conditions, as we shall see. Hence, the condition a specific and functional, see?
5. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, we find the body nervous, and this is produced by the impingement in certain portions of the cerebro-spinal nerve system that causes deflections in the distributing of the energy as is supplied through the nerve system of the body, as to the distribution of circulation in its normal way, and of the energies as is found in the atoms of life giving energy in the system. This particular center we find in the 9th and 12th dorsal. Hence the deflection affects the mesenteric system, producing that tendency towards constipation, that produces the lack of the proper eliminations in body, producing in and through same the impoverishment to the system, through the inabilities of the body, through this pressure, to receive the proper assimilation from foods. Hence the digestive system, too, becomes involved, and we have a form of intestinal indigestion that affects the system severely at times, though much of the whole of system in general overcomes through will of the body, for it's a very strong willed and minded person, see?
6. IN THE FUNCTIONING OF THE ORGANS THEMSELVES, brain forces very good. Strong, self-willed, and often forces self even beyond the physical strength. This in itself has often been of aid.
7. The organs of the sensory system show the effects of impoverishments of blood and are affected reflexly, as condition of eye and ear, the condition as is apparent in the throat by easy congestion affecting at times - not always, see? The ringing in the ear - not always - affection to the eyes more serious at times than others, see?
8. Lungs show the effect of a low blood supply, yet no organic trouble.
9. Heart's action, the condition as produced by pressure from the diaphragm, rather than from heart condition.
10. The liver slow in its action.
11. Digestion - a nerve condition, produced by the tie-up in the 9th and 12th dorsal, affecting directly the hypogastric and pneumogastric plexuses. Hence headaches that reoccur at times.
12. The kidneys show the over taxing of the system, see?
13. Then, to bring the normal conditions for this body, we would, through osteopathic manipulation, relieve that condition as is existent in the dorsal and upper lumbar region. This should have then at least twelve to thirteen treatments, taken every other day - one every other day, see? When six have been taken, begin with these properties for the system:
14. To one gallon of water (rain water), add:

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

    Reduce by simmering (not boiling) to one quart. Strain while warm and add 2 drams Balsam of Tolu cut in 4 ounces of grain alcohol. Stir or mix well together. Then add 4 minims Oil of Peppermint. Shake solution well before taking. The dose should be teaspoonful four times each day, before meals, before retiring, and watch the diet, keeping those of the coarser foods. No meats that are fried EVER. Boiled may be taken occasionally. Vegetables preferable to meats. Fowl or fish preferable in meats, though be well that the body take in the beginning those of the beef juices for the stimulation for the digestion, as the treatments begin to affect the system. This would be prepared in this manner. Take a pound to two pounds of beef, clean beef. Cut in squares. Place in jar without water. Seal. Place this inside of water and let boil for fifty to sixty minutes (the water in which the can is, see?). Then press the juice out, season to taste and take teaspoonful every two to three hours.
15. Do this. We will find we will bring the normal condition for this body.
16. We are through for the present.
