TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here. Now, we find there are some abnormal conditions in this body, though the body is very good throughout. Some of the ducts and glands of the elimination are involved with the nerve condition in the body, and at times causes distress to some of the functioning organs of the system - no organic conditions but the functioning of organs are involved. Now, these are conditions as we find them in this body - [4274], we are speaking of:
2. The blood supply in the system we find carries some bacilli that is not eliminated through the proper channels, hence there are times when the capillary circulation becomes involved when the system attempts to eliminate more than necessary through those channels. This condition produces the irritation at times to portions of the cuticle and gives the unpleasant sensation over various portions of the body.
3. The numbers of red blood cells are above the normal, hence the condition or pressure in the circulation, not that the heart is involved as a functioning order, but forced to over-action, both by nerve stimulus and to rid the system when the circulation becomes so over-charged. There is an over amount of secretions from the lymph and leukocyte circulation. This gives with the nerve tension, as we will see, an excess of vibrations to portions of the sensory organism in its functioning, especially as we see to the eyes at times when the action becomes in this direction, and to the ear, in its functioning, especially do we find this with the body reclining until the circulation becomes equalized in the given position of the body.
4. In the nerve forces we find that in times back there has been a shock to the nervous system over which the mental forces have not gained their full control. These we see about the brachial plexus, the secondary cardiac and those about the solar plexus centers, hence the condition has been one of a gradual disorder to the system rather than one affecting the organs direct. That we see of a functional nature and affecting reflexly the organs in their functioning that the over-stimulus to the brachial plexus has come the heaviness through the shoulders and breast at times, and with the reflex to the throat and the mouth, where the over-secretions are thrown off by the action of the ducts and glands attempting to make an equalization of the circulation in the body. The organs we see, are governed through such times by over-sympathetic stimulus to the system, that is; the body in its forces is of a very sympathetic nature, you see, and the system finds expression through the sympathetic nerve forces.
5. The functioning organs through the brain forces we find the body very good. There is through the medulla oblongata the source of the expression as has given to the mental forces between the upper and lower brain forces, see? This is of a nerve strain, see - not of an affection but rather an effect of the condition brought to the body. In the lungs, we find very good. The body shows the effect of the condition in the blood by poor elimination, hence the heaviness at times through the lungs themselves, but all are the feelings as expressed through this portion of the body, and does not come from the lungs proper but rather of those at times of intercostal affection through nerve forces within the glands, and the action of nerves on these through the breasts themselves at times.
6. Through the digestive tract the body is very good, though the cardiac end of the stomach itself shows the action of the nerve forces over the system, and at times the body feels as if the stomach fills before much has been eaten.
7. The liver shows the reflexes of the pneumogastric over the system and the emunctories do not secrete or excrets properly. This is rather of the sympathetic affect than organic. Through the digestive portion of the upper part of the intestines we find from some excretions that do not give from the system all of the lactic fluids needed, hence the excess of acid state in the blood that does not neutralize in the system.
8. The organs of the pelvis function normally with the conditions that exist. Some are normal to this body that would not be to others. The functioning of the kidneys show the effect of the acid state in blood supply and gives the extra forces an over-charge to the secretions therefrom.
9. To give the normal effect to the body we would take that in the system that would neutralize the acid state, produce more lactic from the mouth through the system, for with the salivary glands giving an acid condition to foods taken in the system it remains unneutralized throughout.
10. For the condition in the mouth and gums, palate and tongue proper, we would use a solution of Toothache Bark [Prickly Ash Bark] given with salt, reduced to a strong tea. Mix sufficient salt to make a wash for the mouth. Rub the gums and the tongue underneath with the solution, then rinse the mouth well. This only needs be repeated three to four times, and three or four days interval each time. Take this into the system:

    Tincture of Valerian...............2 ounces,
Bromide of Potassium...............5 grains,
Iodide of Potassium................1 grain,
Elixir of Calisaya.................1 ounce,
Capsicum...........................1 grain,
Oil of Sassafras...................3 minims.

11. Sufficient simple syrup to make six ounces. The dose would be one teaspoonful three times each day, see? Do that.
12. (Q) What would be the diet for this body?
    (A) All vegetable diet, and as much as possible use those that grow above the ground.
13. (Q) What can be done for the piles of this body.
    (A) The same condition that produces the acid state produces the condition throughout the system, you see. When we relieve the condition we will remove this from the system producing it.
14. (Q) This body wants to know what kind of meats she can eat, if any?
    (A) No meats, if any at all are taken - fish, wild game or fowl may be eaten - no other.
15. (Q) This body has a breaking-out on her face. What causes that condition?
    (A) We have given that.
16. (Q) This body wants to know what variety of bacilli is in her system?
    (A) Malarial. - Poor elimination. An excess of secretions left in the system creates it within itself.
