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 diagnose the case thoroughly, giving the cause of the existing conditions, also the treatment for the cure and relief of this body.
2. EC: Now, we find there are some abnormal conditions that may be corrected throughout this body. These have to do with the functioning of organs and the effect as this disturbance creates in and for the physical forces of this body, Mrs. [4295], we are speaking of.
3. These, then, are the conditions as we find them:
4. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, this below the normal in its replenishing or rebuilding forces in system, produced by the impoverished condition of the functioning of system supplying same. Hence the strain as is produced on system in this portion of body.
5. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, these also show much of the same condition with special or specific conditions existent in certain portions of the nerve system.
6. IN THE FUNCTIONING OF ORGANS THEMSELVES, in the sensory organs, this we find distressed in many ways. Some may be corrected, some may not.
7. In throat, bronchials, larynx, very good in many respects, yet the general debilitation gives the easy for system to contract congestion, easily overtaxed in the breathing, and the heart's action being subnormal from the same conditions.
8. In digestion, these we find show the first effect or cause of the existent conditions of body, and with the gradual distraughtness brought about by this, brings the greater troubles to the body. Liver then involved, as is the whole hepatic circulation and the impoverishment of blood by lack of assimilations in the digestive system, and by the taxing of the nerve and blood supply, both through the drosses left in system by the improper eliminations carried out through kidneys; yet these not wholly the organic, but rather functioning conditions of the system.
9. Then, to bring the nearer normal forces for this body, we would take these properties for the system as a tonic, giving those building forces in the diet of as much fruit of every character as will assimilate in system. Necessary, as will be seen, that these be changed from time to time, for all will not agree at the same time, yet by changing from oranges, apples, pears, bananas, grape fruit, lemon, and the various fruits, these we find will change in their assimilating forces for the system. Taking these as medicinal properties (sure, there may be other diet than the fruits, but principally fruits and nuts should be taken by the body), these as the medicinal forces: To one gallon of rain water, add:

   Wild Cherry Bark...........2 ounces,
Yellow Dock Root...........2 ounces,
Burdock Root...............2 ounces,
Black Snake Root...........2 ounces,
Elder Flower...............4 ounces,
Calisaya Bark..........1 1/2 ounces.

10. Reduce this by simmering (not boiling) to one quart. Strain while warm and add 4 ounces of grain alcohol, in which 2 drams of Balsam of Tolu are cut in. The dosage of this would be (and shaking solution well before each dose) 2 teaspoonsful 3 times each day, taken before meals.
11. When these properties have been taken and diet followed along the lines as given, then we would give the change as from here. Do that for the present. We are through.

   REMARKS
   (You will please state in the space below how near, in your opinion, reading fits your condition, as you know it yourself, and if you expect to carry out the suggestions made for the improvement of your health.)
   I shall endeavor to follow out your suggestions as near as I can, some of the things you hit quite right but one thing you did not mention which I had the reading in special for and that is some form of skin disease which I have had for a long time. It is in a dry form and finally when the blotches heal of it leaves a scar like small pock marks it is mostly on my neck and shoulders.
