We would apply to the condition existing in the cuticle,
this lotion made of equal parts of elder leaves reduced by
boiling, and of plantain leaves with the elder leaves, when
cooled and made to a jelly formation by the addition of the
oil obtained from butter fat without salt, to be sure, by
giving into the system this to give the best incentive to the
action of the organs, themselves: To one gallon of distilled
or rain water, we would add six ounces of Sarsaparilla root,
two ounces of Black Haw bark, two ounces of Yellow Dock
root, two ounces of Black Snake root, reduce by simmering not
boiling to one quart, strain while warm, add four ounces of
grain alcohol with three drams of Balsam of Peru. We would
also make a tea rather strong of Yellow Saffron. The dose
of these, we would take together though not mixed until taken
into the system, teaspoonful four times each day, thirty
minutes before meals, and at bed time. Remove, by
manipulation, the condition existing at the 4th lumbar.
Keep these up until we have corrected the condition in this
body, and we will have the body at very near its full normal
condition again. Do that. We are through.
