TEXT

1. GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, 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 the questions I will ask you regarding same.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here.
3. Now, we find there are some complications in the physical forces of the body, and many of the functioning organs are involved in the condition - the greater portion, or seat and cause of trouble, being that of improper eliminations from the system, and by the gradual accumulation of these poisons in system various portions of the organism are involved in the condition, as is seen in throat and in the gums, or teeth - the condition as has existed. That, as we see, produces in the intestinal system the distraughtness as is produced in the digestion, and this in turn being rather assimilated, or attempted to be assimilated, causes the distress in the blood supply, the taxation in the nervous system, and the depressions to the whole body.
4. Now, to meet the needs of these various conditions, we will find it will be necessary that some specific things and conditions be attended to - such as we find in that of the gums and of the conditions in the mouth. Tonsils and nasal cavities show that these are of such a nature as to cause great distress to the body, by the system being unable to eliminate the destroyed tissue as accumulates in the system from the drosses from same. These need, then, first local attention, and the correction of this will bring about many better conditions of the body.
5. With the correction of this alone we find the other conditions in the system - as is seen in the digestion and in the functioning of the eliminating organs - would not adjust themselves normally, for these conditions are too near that of becoming localized to the extent as to set up inflammation from within themselves. Hence, AFTER such corrections - which would necessarily take from one to two, to three weeks, by the local application of anaesthetics - of that of removal of portions, destroyed tissue and the like - we would begin then with this as a tonic, and as a stimulus and stimuli for the system - necessary then, as is seen, not only as a stimulus but as a tonic for the system. Prepared, then, in this way and manner:
6. To one (1) gallon of rain water, we would add:

   Sarsaparilla Root..............4 ounces,
Wild Cherry Bark...............4 ounces,
Yellow Dock Root...............2 ounces,
Burdock Root...................2 ounces,
Calisaya Bark..................1 ounce,
Peruvian Bark................1/2 ounce,
Mandrake Root.................15 grains,
Black Root, or Red Root........1 ounce,
Elder Flower...................4 ounces.

   Reduce this by simmering (not boiling) to one (1) quart. Strain while warm, then add four (4) ounces pure grain alcohol, with three (3) drams Balsam of Tolu cut in it, with four to six (4 to 6) minums of Oil of Sassafras. The dose of this (which should be shaken to-gether before taking) would be teaspoonful four (4) times each day.
7. DO NOT EAT MEATS, especially HOG meats! That of beef may be taken in moderation - beef or mutton, fish or fowl. PRINCIPALLY, the diet should be vegetable, and rather that which grows ABOVE the ground than under.
8. Do this, following these out consistently and persistently. We will bring better and more normal conditions for this body, Mrs. [4339].
9. Ready for questions.
10. (Q) Why does this body's head and back pain her so? What should be done to relieve same?
    (A) Clearing of those conditions in the throat and in the gums, nasal cavities, and the removal of the pressure as is caused in the digestive tract, near that of the hypogastric and pneumogastric plexus, will relieve the condition in the spinal column - which is as the reflex from the digestive system from the body, see? Massage to this will assist also, or using hot salt packs will relieve the condition - yet the seat of the trouble should be relieved, would we relieve the body permanently.
11. We are through for the present.
