TEXT

1. EC: Now, we find there are many conditions in the body that at the present function abnormal, and the system is in that condition of being revived or rejuvenated from conditions that were abnormal, but are becoming to nearer normal conditions, and there are many portions of the physical body that are involved in the condition. Not all abnormal for the condition, but many functioning under strain; that is, the organs of the physical.
2. Now, these are conditions as we find them in this body, [4412] we are speaking of. First:
3. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, we find this very good in many ways. There is a lack, however, of the red blood, especially, in some of the elements in the rebuilding forces in the system, and the extra amount of white blood and leucocytes created and being created in the system produces strain on many functioning organs that the system is gradually adapting or setting itself to meet the needs. Hence the weak, debilitated condition of the body under stress or strain, either physically or mentally, for with the strain on leukocytes and white blood nerve supply is left inefficient in many of the needs of the physical body. This, as we see, is abnormal, but not abnormal for conditions, and to meet the conditions in the body only necessary that that be kept in the system that through the physical these needs may be met, without the detriment of the functioning system or organs not left to produce that condition that will later become detrimental to the physical body.
4. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, in this we find many centers in the cerebro-spinal system involved in conditions. These, especially; the second lumbar plexus, the hypogastric plexus, the pneumogastric plexus sympathetically, the solar plexus in the lower branches of same. These, with their tentacles in the various portion of the body at times bring distress to the body. Merely the over strain of the system as these. At times the pneumogastric becomes surcharged by foods, causing distress across the diaphragm region of the body. The hypogastric and those nerve ends produce in the region of the kidneys and the bladder some distress in the functioning of these at times. These, we see, are produced by reflex conditions and the condition existing in the system. In the sympathetic system those connections between the physical forces and the sympathetics in the ilium plexus become involved. Hence the body at times overtaxed through excitement, or through any strain to the sympathetic nerve system.
5. IN THE FUNCTIONING OF THE ORGANS THEMSELVES, we find as these:
6. Brain forces very good.
7. Organs of the sensory organism involved sympathetically at times, as extra secretions are thrown in the system from the extra amount of lymphatic secretions and of the white blood supply.
8. Throat, lungs and larynx show, especially in the throat and larynx, this secretion, and we have that excess of secretion, and again the lack, or a dryness, burning at times. This is spasmodic. Not a condition remaining. Lungs good.
9. Digestive tract, we find there has been in times back the inactive forces in the pancreas and duodenum, this causing the extra amount of secretions to be carried into improper channels of elimination produced in the lower intestinal tract and in the colon proper. The lack of secretions to carry on normal functioning.
10. In the liver, very good at present, caring very much for the conditions in the system.
11. Hepatic circulation too high for normal conditions, as is the functioning of kidneys. In the lower intestines, and in the descending colon, where we have abrasions and the lack of the proper coagulation, this, with the system supplied with those necessary elements in blood and in elimination proper, will correct itself better than straining system under the anaesthetic or operation.
12. In the correction, then, for conditions in this body, we would give as this: Give those massage in the system that will keep the equalization of elimination through the centers as involved; lumbar plexus, solar plexus, cardiac plexus, pneumogastric, hypogastric, lumbar, brachial and cervical plexuses, with the massage of the abdominal plexuses; that is, in the groin, so to the ilium and sacral plexuses, to keep the equalization in circulation, and taking into the system these properties, that we may supply the necessary blood forces to keep perfect coagulation in the system, and to balance between the red blood, leukocytes and lymphatic forces, without either becoming overtaxed.
13. To one gallon of rain water, add:

    Wild Cherry Bark......4 ounces,
Yellow Dock Root......2 ounces,
Burdock Root..........2 ounces,
Calisaya Bark.........2 ounces,
Yellow Root...........2 ounces,
Elder Flower..........2 ounces.

14. Reduce by simmering (not boiling) to one quart. Strain while warm and add four ounces grain alcohol, with two drams Balsam of Tolu cut in it, with one dram of Balm of Gilead. The dose would be teaspoonful four times each day. Let the diet be those of gruels and vegetables. No meats to strain the system, and that which will act with the digestive organs as exercised and given incentive for exercising of their functioning through the massage, which should be applied at least twice each week. Do this. We will bring the normal forces to this body.
15. (Q) Should the medicinal properties be taken before meals or upon retiring?
    (A) Taken before meals AND just before retiring.
