TEXT

1. EC: Now, we find conditions in this body may be corrected with care and attention that should be accorded under these physical forces as exhibited and manifested in this body, [4550]. First:
2. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, this deficient in quantity and quality, produced more by the inferior forces as exhibited in the system to supply the blood force, and on account of the resistance in the system, and the reserve energy being so deficient. The condition first of halitosis is produced from the stomach and from the throat and larynx. In the blood supply to the body we find this in the lungs proper does not receive the sufficient carbon to supply the system. Hence leaves the whole body under strain at times, and this interferes with the blood supply in having sufficient of those properties to supply the organs in their functioning and in keeping coagulation effective in the system, where organs use the force and energy in their functioning. Hence non-elimination often shows, and through this same condition brings much of the condition exhibited in the intestines and stomach of the catarrhal condition as would be called.
3. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, this we find strained in many centers, and in many of the plexuses of the solar plexus, lumbar plexus, upper dorsal, secondary cardiac and brachial, fifth cervical. These affected especially in cerebro-spinal nerve system. This is rather from strain in system than of any derangement in the centers proper, though the center, the plexus, shows the strain in each plexus, and how it affects the whole nervous system, and those organs which receive its incentive and nutriment from those plexuses direct.
4. IN THE FUNCTIONING OF THE ORGANS PROPER, brain forces very good.
5. Organs of the sensory system under strain, as all sympathetic and cerebro-spinal direct organ functioning is.
6. In the throat, lungs, larynx the strain is given by the lack of the system to clarify and oxidize and de-oxidize the blood supply in the system. Hence the pressure at times that produces the wheeze in the air chamber proper.
7. Digestive tract shows catarrhal conditions. This from excess of secretions not eliminated, and of the intestinal tract not carrying off refused forces, and the tendency for those properties taken in the system to remain in the elementary canal too long.
8. Lungs show, as we have given, this effect.
9. The liver and the lung circulation, or the circulation from head and liver shows the cold reaction of this organ in the system; intestinal tract being then in the upper portion showing how the strain and the lacerations have allowed toxins to remain in the system, and give strain to ligaments and tissue in extremities, and pains of acute nature in portions of the body. Then in the hepatics, liver, kidneys, circulation, the strain comes to the kidneys in attempting to relieve the system from this strain and condition.
10. Then to give the relief to this body we would first take in the system that which will give the incentive for correction in the body through the digestive organs, and as well through the mental reaction in the system. Unless the body desires to improve itself, it will continue to enjoy poor health.
11. Take this: To one gallon of rain water add:

    Wild Cherry Bark..............6 ounces,
Cane Sugar....................8 ounces.

12. Reduce this by simmering (not boiling) to one quart. Then add:

    Water.........................8 ounces, and
Calisaya Bark.................2 ounces,
Yellow Dock Root..............2 ounces,
Yellow Root...................2 ounces,
Buchu Leaves.................15 grains,

    and reduce to one quart again. Strain while warm and add two ounces of grain alcohol, with two drams of Balm of Gilead in it (in the bulb). The dose would be teaspoonful four times each day before meals, and before retiring. Take the massage of the osteopathic forces over the whole system while this is being taken. The osteopathic forces should be applied twice each week. We will find we will improve the appetite, the elimination, the condition in the bronchials, lungs and through the digestive tract. Do that for this body.
