TEXT

1. EC: Yes. Now, as we find, there are conditions to be considered of the material nature, as well as of the physical nature, could - or would - there be the better conditions brought to this body. Are the forces about the body able to forego many of those conditions as have been set as metes and bounds about the body, there may be applied those things - as we find - that would bring the nearer normal conditions for the body.
2. While those applications as have been made are in some manners preventing further inroads of the disorders, the resuscitating forces have not as yet become over-active in the replenishing or rebuilding for tissue that has been involved in the disorder. The determination on the part of the body itself must also be taken into consideration.
3. As to the physical conditions, as we find, these began from first improper eliminations in the system, from an unbalanced elementary condition, or those necessary elements - elementary elements - in the system to keep an equal balance; which allowed those of external forces to take hold upon the vital organs of the system in their functioning, first depleting the blood supply to such an extent as to allow those conditions in the system as made attacks upon same to first make inroads upon the muscular and nerve forces, later upon the muco-membrane of those portions of the assimilating and digestive system, as well as the respiratory system, bringing about the lack of vitality, the taking away of strength and of resistive forces in the system; and while rest, and those active forces that have been applied - as respecting the clarifying of the blood stream, as well as those of the nerve forces, have been active in preventing INROADS, as given, these - as we find - have NOT been so active in PRODUCING the proper ELEMENTS IN the system for RESUSCITATION and recuperation in the system - see?
4. Now, we would NOT - then, in meeting the needs of the conditions in the present - change or alter those applications as are being made. We would add to same THIS, in THIS manner:
5. First, at least once each day, we would take those in the compound of Calcidin - a two or three grain tablet of same, especially in the evenings. This will make for more even rest, as well as prevent those of the body exudations, sweats, or irritations in the system as produce restlessness.
6. We would of MORNINGS take those of the Atomidine (Now this is opposite, though carrying some of the same active forces, see?), in this manner: 5 to 8 drops in half a glass of water.
7. We would also, at least once during each 24 hours, apply the Radio-Active Appliance; this attached most often (though every third day we would change) to the right wrist and the left ankle, see? To the RIGHT wrist and left ankle, for one hour each day. Every THIRD day change to, first anode attached to the right ANKLE and to the LEFT wrist - see? The other periods to the right wrist and LEFT ankle.
8. The activities of these in the system, and with the system:
9. As is seen, the functioning of the muco-membranes in the muscular forces of the system, in the respiratory system, in the glands of the system, are hindered by their lack of those vital elements necessary in the system to keep an even balance. Hence easily do inflammations arise in the system, see? Easily does the tissue become over-abundant with the DROSSES of the system, especially as we see at times in the respiratory system, in the heart's action; and with the taking of both the Calcidin and Atomidine, in opposite portions of the active vibrations in the cycles of circulation for body, will bring those elements necessary to overcome the potashes, the iodines will become more active with the system, and make for more of the salts in the blood supply, aiding in the digestive system, through those of the lacteals, aiding or giving more off in the muco-membranes of the whole of the system, easing down the pressures in the heart's action, making for an easier activity through the lungs, and the MUSCULAR forces nearer relaxed.
10. After this has been taken for some periods, then we would give the necessary changes.
11. Ready for questions. [4533].
12. We are through for the present.
