TEXT

1. EC: Now, we find there are many abnormal conditions, and this has to do with conditions that have been of long standing. While the present conditions are not as serious as have been in times back, much relief may be given the condition, and with the proper care and attention many years may be added to the physical sojourn here.
2. Now, these are conditions as we find them in this body, [4494] we are speaking of. First:
3. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, this we find subnormal and deficient in the quantity rather than the quality, for the age of the body has much to do with the condition, and the taxing of the system with toxins through the blood in times back has brought about much of the condition as we find the effects of at present in the structural portions, especially in the locomotaries in the system, for with the ligaments being acted upon by the condition in blood supply, has been exhibited, it has left the condition as we find at the present time, this causing, we see, in the locomotaries this congestion of the units or cellular forces in portions of the system produced by a blood condition and by the system not eliminating properly, leaving the strain then in portions of the body.
4. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, we find there are many ends and branches of cerebro-spinal system that are incased or involved in these conditions in various portions of the body, those especially about the lower lumbar plexus, the half end, as it were, of the eighth dorsal plexus and of the second dorsal plexus. These produce, as we find, a better reaction at present than in times back. All of these conditions may be assisted by the proper applications and adjustments to the portions affected.
5. IN THE FUNCTIONING OF THE ORGANS THEMSELVES, we find the brain force active for one of its years in the physical plane. One that has been given a broad vision of many of the vicissitudes of life, and in the relations of the mind with the physical has been of great benefit to the present plane's developing.
6. In the organs of the sensory system, we find those conditions that might be expected from the centers in cerebro-spinal and branches and plexuses involved as they are and have been, yet many function above the normal under these conditions in this body.
7. In the organs about the trunk portion of the body we find there are ends as of the tissue being involved in th cellular units, forming into particles and portions that should have been eliminated from the system. These at times cause distress to the body, and dis-ease to the nerve centers involved therein.
8. In the rest of the functioning organs, we find very good, save under the strain as would be found in one of this condition from the physical viewpoint, though taken in much better attitude than would be ordinarily expected.
9. Then, to give the relief to this body, and to bring the better forces in the system, we would take in the system these properties:
10. To one gallon of rain water, add:

    Yellow Dock Root.................2 ounces,
Burdock Root.....................2 ounces,
Prickly Ash Bark.................2 ounces,
Black Root.......................2 ounces,
Red Root.........................2 ounces,
Elder Flower.....................4 ounces.

    Reduce by simmering (not boiling). Strain while warm. Add four ounces grain alcohol, with one dram of Balsam of Tolu cut in it, with one dram of Balm of Gilead.
11. The dose would be teaspoonful four times each day. After this has been taken, the full quantity, and the body rests five days, then take this:
12. To fifteen ounces of distilled water and fifteen grains Chloride of Gold, twelve grains Bicarbonate of Soda. Shake well before dosage is taken, which will be half a teaspoonful in a half glass of water, twice each day, and give while this is being taken the violet ray vibrations over the whole system along the spinal column, especially, and over the head, neck and arms for five minutes each day, using the plain applicator. When taking medicinal properties as first given, be very careful to have the system to not become congested in the excretory system. When this should happen, on account of meals or inactivity of body, take teaspoonful Phosphate of Soda, with six to nine drops of Sarsaparilla in this. Do not take this, however, unless the body finds this necessary.
13. Do that, if we would bring the best to this body.
