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. You will answer any questions regarding this body that I may ask you.
2. EC: Now, we find there are abnormal conditions in the physical forces of this body and that many of these may be corrected. The conditions as exist at the present time are effects of specific conditions that have existed and do exist in the physical functioning of various portions of the system.
3. Now, these are conditions as we find them in this body at the present time. First:
4. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, this we find below the normal in its ability to give the replenishing or rebuilding cellular forces to the system. In this there is much of the seat of the trouble, for the first condition existing was that of the toxins, or of self-imposed toxation in system, produced by a deflected circulation, and the effects of this toxin from the blood in certain centers brought about conditions that became in part infected in themselves, such as is seen in the sacral and the locomotories of the lower portion of the body.
5. In the present blood supply, while deficient, the quality is very good, though the quantity, and the ability of the system to produce sufficient to meet the needs of the system to rebuild, is subnormal.
6. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, in this we find again much of that condition as produced, with the incentive of the nerve centers being deflected by PHYSICAL condition existing in the sacral and plexus, which dates back to the time of the condition existing after childbirth, and this produced a lesion that brought the first obstruction to the blood centers, and this first produced the condition in the pelvis, and then to digestion, and then to the circulation of the blood, both the arterial and the venous.
7. IN THE FUNCTIONING OF THE ORGANS OF THE BODY, brain forces good.
8. All the functioning of the organs of the sensory system very good.
9. Throat, bronchials, lungs, larynx, all show rather the effect of a depleted circulation, rather than of organic conditions of the body.
10. The heart's action, while subnormal, is NOT a functional trouble even; produced rather by general debilitation.
11. The digestive system shows the effect of hindrances in the plexuses of the lumbar and sacral and prevent there being the assimilation as is necessary for rebuilding. Hence, as we find, there are times when certain properties, or an over quantity of many properties, will produce nausea and distress to the system.
12. The liver in that state of being over-active in excretory and lack of activity in secreting.
13. Kidneys give distress at times, on account of the overburdened condition in attempting to eliminate the conditions from the system through this channel, for the respiratory system being subnormal, liver being subnormal in activity, the digestive system not assimilating, the kidneys, in attempting to function through the emunctories of same, produce at times distress. At times a lack of the eliminations through urine, at times an over amount.
14. In the centers, then, of the lumbar and the sacral, do we find the seat of the troubles.
15. Then, to overcome these conditions, as have been produced in the system, by first the condition existing in the pelvis and in the sacral, through congestion, or through that of the neuralgia, following conditions as were produced, THIS then must be overcome, and the conditions as arise through this change be met, if we would bring the circulation and the building up of the body to where the conditions may be eliminated through their proper channels.
16. Then, we would do THIS, and we will find we may bring the more normal circulation, the more normal functioning of the system. Necessary for care, attention, persistent and consistent effort, to meet these conditions.
17. We would massage into the small of the back, or the sacral region, and across the lower portion of the sciatic nerve course, those properties as are found in Balsam of Sulphur. This should be massaged into the system at least every other day, and THEN, when this is cleansed with an anti-septic, (use the saline, or that not acid; such as will be found in that of Glyco-Thymoline) take into the system these properties:
18. To 15 grains of Chloride of Gold, add 15 ounces of distilled water, with 20 grains Bicarbonate of Soda. The dose would be - begin with 2 drops in half glass of water, taking twice each day. The second day increase 2 drops. And the third 2 drops, until 20 drops are taken at a dose. Then rest 2 days. Begin with the smaller amount and increase in the same manner.
19. Keep the intestinal tract open by using enemas, high, or that that will add to the system in this manner - that is, using small quantities of the Russian oil in the enemas. Have as much of codliver oil and of the olive oil as the system will take without becoming rancid in the system, or disagreeable to the body. When such should occur, leave off until the system is able to assimilate more, and the diet should be, preferably, those of whole wheat - not white bread - whole wheat. Junket, arrow root, and such.
20. Do this, and when the first full quantity of the Balsam of Sulphur has been used (which should be used at least two pounds for the first quantity), we would give further instructions for the correction. That condition as will be produce in the body by the massage of the Sulphur into the lumbar and sacral region, of a tingling sensation, after two to three days, but there will not be the abrasions, if this is prepared properly, see? Ready for questions.
21. (Q) How much of the Balsam of Sulphur should be massaged into the system at a time?
    (A) Just what the system will assimilate. That is, take up - for we see the Sulphur is prepared with volatile oil, and this mass is massaged into the system. Will be just a small piece in the hand, see?
22. (Q) How long will it be before this body will be able to walk?
    (A) By time half or two-thirds of the first quantity of Sulphur is used, and the Gold kept in this manner, with the diet, and as given, we will find the body will gain the use - not get up and be able to walk at first - but will gain use of the limbs, and of the body. Do this, for we will find we will make this body whole and strong.
23. We are through for the present.
