TEXT

1. EC: Now, we find there are many abnormal conditions in this body, and to give the existing conditions it will be necessary to give much of the pathological conditions that have to do with the present existing conditions, for that existing in the body as the manifestation of the distress is but the outcome of other conditions that have brought the present conditions to their stage, for we have a condition where the effect is the manifestation and the cause is submerged.
2. In the forces then as applied we find as these conditions, [4305], we are speaking of. First:
3. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, we find this is charged with conditions that have been surcharged in the system, so that there is carried in the blood supply the effect of conditions existing in functioning organs. That is, poisons have been left in the system from the submerged condition in elimination and overtaxing has produced much of the effect, especially as is seen in capillary circulation and in various portions of the body proper.
4. IN THE NERVE SUPPLY, we find there are centers that have been in that condition where that the lines of resistance and of supply to the rebuilding forces have prevented the organs functioning properly, such as we have in that portion that supplies the pancreas and the liver. Hence the condition that has existed from time to time through the functioning of these organs. In this we have an impingement then in the 8th and 9th dorsal center of the cerebro-spinal system. That branch of the impingement affecting then directly the supply of the portions as given. Reflexly this affects the hypogastric center, and we have the condition in the liver, reacted in kidneys and in bladder. In the same we have in the other branches of this impingement the affect to the larynx and bronchials, with portion of the lungs at times. As we find, these and this impingement affecting these branches, this condition shifts in the system, so that the body has at times had one portion of the body suffering without the other portion being so much involved, for the shift from one portion of body, according to the cycle of the hypogastric center in the system, attempting to equalize the eliminations and the supply of nutriment from the physical forces of the body. In the plexus then of the 2nd and 3rd lumbar do we find a form of lesion from the sympathetic system from the abnormal impingement. Also, this we have in the lower cervical; that is, the 6th and 7th another reflex condition, which produces the effect as produced in the sensory organism. Hence the gradual change that has come to the system, pathological forces, or giving their effect in the system in the organs of sensory system. So that we will find, in giving those conditions that will prove beneficial, all portions of the body are in the same manner to receive relief from the manifested conditions, when we have the cause - a submerged condition.
5. IN THE FUNCTIONING OF ORGANS THEMSELVES, we find brain forces very good.
6. Organs of the sensory system, all included, show the effect of the lateral lesion in the lower cervicals.
7. In the lungs and heart action we find again the condition as is produced by the strain on the cardiac and secondary cardiac plexus, so that we have distresses through these portions of the body, and a subnormal and an abnormal pressure in blood supply, and while we have the condition showing its effect in these organs the condition in the dorsal and in the lumbar region being the cause, and much treatments have been accorded conditions rather than producing in the system that to correct condition, for effects have been manifested the more.
8. Digestive tract, as the effect, has been in the impingement to the digestive tract, though more of those conditions and vibrations accorded the system have been through the digestive system this has assisted nature in creating those supply through the hypogastric forces; that is, the solar plexus branches of the nerve system, that supply has assisted this more than other portions of the body. Peyers' Glands affected, and have nearly been eliminated, but we have the system absorbing toxins through these conditions. As we find also, liver and kidneys involved, but only as functioning organs and not as an organic condition, for these are effects of a specific and not the condition to be treated, save as to give the functioning organs the incentive to create the equilibrium necessary for the body to gain its equilibrium and the coordination of all these portions of the body. These affects we find at times affect directly the locomotion in body.
9. R E L I E F, then, to bring and give the correct forces to this body, which of necessity, with conditions, will be some time; yet it will take persistent and consistent applications to the body, do this:
10. To one gallon of rain water, add:

    Sarsaparilla Root..................2 ounces,
Wild Cherry Bark...................2 ounces,
Yellow Dock Root...................2 ounces,
Black Haw Bark.....................2 ounces,
Calisaya Bark......................2 ounces,
Mandrake Root.....................30 grains,
Buchu Leaves......................10 grains.

    Reduce this by simmering (not boiling) to one quart. Strain while warm and add four ounces of grain alcohol, with three drams of Balsam of Tolu cut in it. The dose will be teaspoonful four times each day, taken about half an hour before meals, and through osteopathic or chiropractic forces adjust those impingements in the dorsal and lumbar and in the cervical regions. These of necessity will have to be heated; that is, wet heat applied to the portions of the body to relax same before these adjustments can be made properly. These should be made every day until we can see the change in the position and the medicinal properties have the opportunity to give the incentives to the reaction. With this strain over the system being eliminated we will find we will have these: the body will have sinking spells; that is, sick, nauseated, hardness of breath, irritation to the cuticle, trouble with portions of the body. This may be expected, for it is a retraction of conditions.
11. Follow this for five to six weeks. Then we will give those properties necessary for the continuation of the improvement and for the normal forces to be manifested in this body.
12. Do that. We are through for the present.
