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 give the cause of the existing conditions, also the treatment for the cure and relief of same.
2. EC: Now, in many ways the body is very good, when the general conditions are considered, yet there are abnormal conditions in body that bring distress at times to portions of the system, and some specifics that add to the distress, though not the seat of the greater disturbing conditions in the body.
3. Those that are abnormal that may be corrected have to do with the nerve system and the effect as this condition produces in the functioning of the organs in the body.
4. Now these are conditions as we find them in this body, [4216] we are speaking of. First:
5. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, this we find deficient in quantity and quality, for there is carried in the blood stream a constant warring in the blood elements themselves, this producing an irritation in the capillary circulation. There is in this condition also that which adds to the distress in portions of the body in the functioning of organs, especially in the excretory system. In the division between the white and red blood supply, the division or balance is very good, though the elements in the circulation of the lymphatic becomes exaggerated under the stress and strain.
6. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, in the 5th and 6th and 4th dorsal we find impingements that cause much of the distress in the functioning of organs in the body. This was produced in the body in times back, and many distresses have been produced by this condition, for the effect to the secondary cardiac plexus has caused distress in heart's action, in pulmonaries and in throat, as well as reflexly through the pneumogastric plexus, giving distress in the central portion of the digestive tract. Rather than exciting the circulation in duodenum and in liver, the direct has been in the mucus producing center to the central portion of the small intestinal tract. Hence the conditions as have been produced in the digestion, especially in intestinal digestion.
7. In the rest of the system (in the nerve forces we are speaking of), we find another lesion produced in the lumbars, this coming from conditions produced in the false pelvis. In the distribution of these effects in the body have varied according to the strain of the body in mental and in physical activities.
8. IN THE ORGANS OF THE BODY, we find there are specifics in the sensory system. Some from congestion, others by outside influences.
9. In throat, bronchials, we find the inclination towards the strain of the circulation, both under the influence of the impingement in the upper dorsal, and also the condition of the blood flow and supply itself.
10. In lungs does this especially show, though no organic conditions there at present.
11. Heart engorged in circulation on account of the condition of blood supply, also from the fullness of the pneumogastric plexus circulation at times.
12. Liver very good, when conditions are considered, though not entirely normal.
13. Hepatic circulation rather cold or subnormal, from the condition in the whole system as regards circulation; that is, the liver and kidneys so at variance with each in its circulation and capillary circulation distorted, produces the clammy, cold conditions in portions of the body at times.
14. Then to bring the better conditions to this body, and to correct the condition that may be brought to normal forces, take in the system these properties. Also correcting the subluxation and these impingements in the cerebro-spinal centers. Namely, those as major conditions: 4th, 5th, 6th dorsal, 2nd, 3rd, 4th lumbar.
15. Medicinal properties as these:
16. To one gallon of rain water, add:

    Sarsaparilla Root...............2 ounces,
Wild Cherry Bark................2 ounces,
Yellow Dock Root................2 ounces,
Black Haw Bark..................2 ounces,
Calisaya Bark...................2 ounces,

    Mandrake Root..................30 grains,
Buchu Leaves...................15 grains.

17. Reduce by simmering (not boiling) to one quart. Strain while warm and add three drams Balsam of Tolu cut in four ounces grain alcohol. The dose would be two teaspoonsful three times each day, mornings before meals, evenings before meals and before retiring. Keeping the eliminations in the system, even though necessary to take the salines to cause intestines to be kept clear, taking the adjustments, osteopathically, given deep, at least for ten to fifteen adjustments.
18. Do that. We will bring the better conditions, and with the awakened elemental forces in the mind, body and soul, of this entity bring normal forces and living to the body.
19. Do that.
