TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here. Now we find there are some abnormal conditions in this body, and we find the functioning organs have been involved to such an extent as to cause distress throughout portions of the body. These conditions have to do with the functioning of organs produced by taxation to the organs through the nerve systems and over stimulation to the organs themselves, and of pre-disposition of the body or of prenatal conditions that exist. Now, these are the conditions as we find them in this body, [4232] we are speaking of, ..., Pa.
2. First, in the blood supply, we find the quantity and quality deficient. Yet, with the drained and strained effect, the system meets the resistive forces with very good energy at the present time, the quality of the blood being that of the anemic force produced by organic conditions, as well as functioning of the cellular forces, producing tissue in the system. The reaction only at times shows in the lungs and upper portion of the intestinal tract and the stomach - see? Hence, the conditions the body experiences at times when at the first, second and third cervical there is the distress to the body produced through the circulation not eliminating used forces from the system. Brain forces and facial forces, especially. Hence, the disturbance there.
3. In the distribution of the cellular forces the strain on the system becomes apparent. There is a lack of elemental forces in the hemoglobin. There is an over amount of lymph forces in the system, produced by the body attempting, as it were, to supply new life to the system to meet the resistance that passes through, the poisons there absorbed through the functional conditions in the body.
4. In the nerve system we find the body shows how the strain on the system exists, and how that medicinal properties must be used to meet the conditions in the cerebro-spinal connection with the sensory organism and of the lymphatic forces as surcharged by the amount produced in the system.
5. The body does not coordinate with this distribution of the nerve energy. Hence, the dull, tired feelings to the body, though at times there are flights, as it were, of the system rising to meet the needs of the physical in resistance - see?
6. We find the functioning of the organs themselves as this. Through the head, the neck and arms we find the reflexes from the out-go of the system, used forces being overtaxed in the organs of the head and neck. See, the body is thin. In the lung forces, very good for the conditions of the blood at the present time.
7. Heart forces, no organic trouble. Yet, functional we find that above and below normal impulsion as shown at times.
8. In the digestive tract we find this is the seat, or beginning, of the resistive forces in the body, as at present showing with the first nervous digestion, or plain dyspepsia, or indigestion, to the body, in giving the vibration to meet the resistance from the strain upon eliminating forces or the kidneys. Hence, the trouble as is produced there. At present, overtaxed through non-activity of the liver in its functioning, leaving the strain then upon the kidneys, giving the resistance of too great a force within this portion of the body. This with pre-disposition gives the distress to the body.
9. The stomach itself smaller than normal. The liver torpid, and a tendency towards atrophied conditions, that tendency you see hardening, as it were.
10. The intestinal tract shows the strain to the system is reduced too at times, for in the mucous coating of the system, that is, the intestinal tract, the strain on the duodenum existing at times in the kidneys and hepatic circulation both abnormal in their functioning high hepatics.
11. Liver torpid, but the kidneys engorged and tendency towards softening of the organ itself - see? Hence, from emunctory in the kidneys there are times when the flow of blood itself is experienced here. This produces the strain on the pelvic organs, the bladder over active, and the urine painful to the body in its passage.
12. This we find is the conditions in this body.
13. To give the relief from this condition we will of necessity, first, prepare the body for the real treatment, or effective cure. First, we would take into the system this. We would prepare five doses. This would be the dosage, and one capsule taken every second day.

    Podophyllin.............1/2 grain,
Licorice Compound.......1/2 grain,
Leptandrin..............1/2 grain,
Sanguinaria...............1 grain.

14. This would be put in capsules. Dose one every second day. After these have been taken, all of them, and the body rests from this medicinal property, then prepare this. One (1) gallon of rain water ADD:

    Sarsaparilla Root.........4 ounces,
Yellow Dock Root..........1 ounce,
Burdock Root..............1 ounce,
Calisaya Bark.............1 ounce,
Black Root................1 ounce,
Buchu Leaves.............30 grains.

15. Reduce this by simmering, not boiling, to one quart. Strain while warm. Add six ounces of grain alcohol, with two drams of Balsam of Tolu in it.
16. The dose would be two teaspoonfuls three times each day, one-half hour before meals.
17. Let the diet be not of meats, or of sweets, except of the honeycomb, with very little honey in it. That's the only sweets the body should eat, but of gruels, whole wheat, vegetable matter that grows above the ground, not of the tuberous nature, such as potatoes or yams - see?
18. When the pain is severe across the back, or hips, it would be well if the body would be sponged with a saturated solution of bicarbonate of soda and heat given in warm water of heated sea salt applied to this portion of the body. Do that.
19. Follow this for the full extent of the quantity given. Then, will carry it on further. We are through.
