TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here - this we have had before. There has been given something of the conditions within the physical forces of this body that might be expected without the proper eliminations being set up in the system, and without keeping the proper vibratory forces as are necessary to keep the nominal equilibrium in distribution of cellular forces within the physical body to keep the nominal synchronism, or BALANCE, in the functioning of each and every portion of the body.
2. In the present conditions, we find there is the attempt of the system to adjust itself to these conditions. Hence in the extremities there are the effects of an elimination set up through the capillary system that brings distresses to the extremities, in the way the circulation has, in a manner, STOPPED, or caused abrasions. The cuticle itself breaking, cracks, and the tendency of the separation between the dermis and epidermis in the extremities. This [is] due in an improper equilibrium in the eliminating system. A division, as it were, between the capillary and lymphatic circulation in its attempt to adjust itself to each performing its OWN functioning and not that of the other portions of the system, but the system attempting to eliminate CAUSES a separation in unit energy.
3. Now, to meet the needs of these conditions at the present time, first we would prepare this as an active force for the correction of the CAUSE of the condition, as well as treating the effects of that as produced. This would be given, then, as the correcting of the cause. Prepare this: Six (6) ounces Wild Cherry Bark put in sixteen (16) ounces distilled water. Reduce by simmering (not boiling) to one-half the quantity. Then add:

   Simple Syrup.......................2 ounces,
Syrup of Sarsaparilla Compound.....1 ounce,
Tincture of Stillingia...........1/2 ounce,

   10% Solution Iodide Potassium....1/4 ounce,
Elixir Calisaya..................1/2 ounce,
Tincture of Capsici................3 minims,
Oil of Sassafras..................30 minims.

   Cut Balsam of Tolu 2 drams in 2 ounces of pure grain alcohol and add as preservative and as an astringent. The dose of this would be teaspoonful four times each day, taken just after meals and before retiring, see?
4. The diet should be principally those of the green vegetable (rated throughout the day, one at each meal, at least), fruits - but no apples, unless the jenneting is used, and that COOKED. Nuts and fruits principally, with little or no meats of ANY character - especially of sea foods - do not eat of these in the present condition.
5. For the local condition as is seen on extremities, or in hands - and on feet in portions - bathe these in a WEAKENED solution of a solution made with plantain, 6 ounces to 32 ounces of rain water and reduce to half the quantity. Weaken this with a very weak solution of carbolic acid, one to forty, see? one to forty; and one to twenty with the added to the solution from the plantain; that is, twenty of the plantain - twenty drops, or twenty ounces, or twenty gills, to one of the weakened solution of carbolic acid, see?
6. Do this. We will find we will bring the bettered conditions for this body.
7. Well, too, were the body to have the gentle massage, preferably should this be given as a Swedish massage, once each week, while these properties are being taken; that is, as the correction. Especially should this massage be along the spine and across the abdomen, and the manipulation of the limbs. This the greater exercise. Keep in the open as much as possible, but away from any of the pollens that would irritate, any portion of the body, by breathing or by contact.
8. We are through for the present.
