TEXT

1. EC: This body we find better than when we had it here before, yet we find that the medicinal properties as taken are working a constant hardship upon the hepatic circulation and engorging the heart, and producing a full heart, or enlarged condition. This had best be replaced with those properties as would be found in such as this:

   Tincture Valerian...............2 ounces,
Iodide Potassium...............30 grains,
Bromide Potassium..............20 grains,
Elixir Calisaya.................2 ounces,
Elixir Stillingia...............1 ounce,
Elixir Celerina.................1 ounce,
Oil Peppermint..................2 minims.
Sufficient Simple Syrup to make 8 ounces.

2. Shake solution well together before dosage is taken, which would be teaspoonful three times each day. Well that the body take specific exercise in evenings, and produce an equilibrium in circulation, exercising limbs (lower limbs) above head, exercising upper limbs and upper portion of body by circular motion. Do this for at least five minutes each evening, until there is the equalized circulation.
3. Any change in climatic conditions would be well for this body, provided the system has been equalized through medicinal properties and exercise, as given.
4. Let the diet be a great deal more water than the body takes at the present time. Not too much meats. As much sea foods as is possible. Every character good. Do that and we will keep the body in the better equilibrium, better able to give physical forces in self.
5. We are through for the present.
