IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, in this we find much that has to do with
present conditions. There is a center in the cerebrospinal
system, on which the accentuation of congestion and of a
lesion formed, that has so diverted the circulation, both in
lymphatics and in blood supply, as to cause portions of the
nerve system to be so taxed that the system in going about to
produce a condition to bring relief to the body sets up a
condition that has brought distress, with the enaction of
other conditions meeting this, as we have in the 3rd dorsal
vertebra. This, we find, acts with the supply and
elimination of the circulation in the sensory organism, as
well as that through the nerve centers as have been brought
into the condition by this lesion; these of the secondary
cardiac plexus, these of the sympathetic, pneumogastric and
hypogastric plexuses. These then we find affect the
circulation, especially in eliminating used forces from the
system. Then, when we had contracted the condition affecting
the eyes, the eliminations as set up in the system brought
about this condition that affects the optic itself proper
from receiving the proper nutriment from the system to
cleanse itself in the functioning of the organ proper. This
condition then, we find, comes to this: The encircling of
the optic nerve proper, by the growth as is not eliminated
from the system, either through external ducts or by
circulation proper. This produces then inflammation that
comes both to external and to interior portion of the
reflection or impression as received by the optic.
IN THE ORGANS OF THE BODY THEMSELVES, in the sensory system,
all of the organs are affected sympathetically by this
condition in the 3rd dorsal center, and the sympathetic from
the 3rd, 4th and 2nd cervical center, which gives the
nutriment in nerve action for the functioning of the organ
other than its brain connection through optic nerves proper.
In the lungs, larynx, throat, bronchials, these have shown at
times this same reaction, yet are very good at the present
time.
The digestive tract very good when we consider the extent the
plexuses governing lower digestion and how involved in
condition. These have been treated better than the condition
existing in the spinal center.
The rest of the system in accord with condition as is seen in
the body here.
Then, to give the relief to the body that will relieve the
strain and bring the system to the better incentives of
equilibrium throughout, do as this:
First, we would take in the system those properties to
prepare the system for the eliminations and assimilations for
the body, giving as this:
To one gallon of rain water, add:
Sarsaparilla Root...............2 ounces,
Wild Cherry Bark................2 ounces,
Yellow Dock Root................2 ounces,
Mandrake Root..................20 grains,
Buchu Leaves...................15 grains,
Black Root......................1 ounce.
Reduce this by simmering (not boiling) to one quart. Strain
while warm and add two drams of Balm of Gilead, two ounces of
grain alcohol, with one dram of Oil of Peppermint.
The dose would be teaspoonful four times each day.
For the local condition in the dorsal use the vibration as
from electrically driven vibrator on the 3rd and 4th and 1st
dorsal vertebrae at least twenty minutes each evening.
In the eye and the condition there proper, each evening apply
the scraped portions of old Irish potato. That is, not of
the new but that of the old: Each morning bathe this off
with equal parts distilled water and of the water as
distilled from that of Boracic Acid, with Glyco-Thymoline,
adding afterwards drops of a 20% solution of Belladonna, and
when bathed off again in an hour apply the applicator of the
Violet Ray direct.
Do that. The application of the Violet Ray will be once each
day for not more than one and one-half minutes, after
solution has been applied and after the eye has been bathed.
Do that, if we would bring the best for this body.
