TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here. Now we find these are some abnormal conditions in this body, they have to do with the functioning of organs and the effect as this produces over the system both in circulation and the nerve supplying forces in the body. Now these are conditions as we find them in this body [4582] we speak of.
2. First, in the blood supply we find the body becoming anemiatized by the conditions as are being produced in the digestive tract and the functioning of the organs controlling digestion within the trunk portion of the body. The circulation through the liver itself becoming surcharged and engorged at times, produced by the high hepatic circulation. The gall ducts involved produced by the strain on the nerve forces in the emunctories of the liver itself, this condition produces the reflex pains to the body along the region of the diaphragm giving through the duodenum and pancrean forces the retract action of digestion, the blood thereby becoming less active in its vitality, giving then to the centers of the nerve system their lack of vital energy. Hence, the depressed feeling over the whole body, the enertia of the whole muscular system, the red blood deficient in numbers and in vitamins in the cellular reaction, the leukocyte and lymphatic cells over numerous throughout the system. Hence the expression of circulation of too full a capillary circulation at times, these conditions coming just before or after the retract action of the nerves of the liver and hepatic circulation giving another reflex condition in the action of activity of the kidneys; that is, at times they appear overactive and at others inactive.
3. In the nerve forces we find these conditions. A super sensitive condition will be found at the ganglion about the solar plexus center, this being produced by the activity of the hepatic circulation and the pneumogastric reaction in the pyloric end of the stomach, also the inflammation produced about the Peyer's glands and the ascending end of the colon, this condition being that which produces the action in the hepatic circulation, the rest of the nerve centers of the cerebral spinal nerve system showing the reaction from this condition.
4. In the functioning of organs themselves, we find these conditions: The brain force of this body [4582] we speak of very good, the fullness to the throat, larynx, thyroids is only reflex action of the nerve forces and circulation in the over supply of lymphatic circulation attempting to be eliminated through these channels as is shown by excretions from the nasal cavities and antrums.
5. Lungs, very good, though pressure seems apparent from the diaphragm reaction, the digestive tract not so good, some reaction in the gastric juices as created in the stomach proper as well as that acted upon through the rest of the system by the condition in the liver and pancreas, spleen engorged, pancreas some inflammation as is also shown in the liver, both lobes of liver engorged and below the normal position produced as natural consequence of conditions, soreness about the region of the Peyer's glands in the right side, also sympathetic condition in the region of the appendix and inflammation in the mucus coating of ascending and transverse colon, colitis rather than appendicitis. The lower portion of hepatic circulation producing with inflammation the condition in the kidneys as we have given. To relieve this condition we have these conditions as given to combat. This may be removed by either of these modes. Take in the system best, would be the dosage:

   Senna....................2 grains,
Licorice Compound........2 grains,
Cascara Sagrada......1 1/2 grains,
Dovers Powders...........2 grains.

6. This as given is one dose, there should be as many as ten capsules of these made, one capsule taken each evening and morning until all of these have been taken, after half of the quantity taken, make a tea of this: 6 ounces of the leaves of ragweed or ambrosia weed to eight ounces rain water. Reduce by simmering, not boiling, to four ounces, strain while warm. Add two ounces of grain alcohol, with two ounces of sugar dissolved in one ounce of hot water and fifteen minims of oil of essence of peppermint.
7. The dose of this would be a teaspoonful taken in the middle of the day, this should cleanse the system and to prevent inflammation. Let the water that is taken by this body carry the properties of elm or elm water one to sixty, keep this cool and drink with these properties. Let the diet be vegetables and fruits, not meats. Should the exercise of the body so overtax the system as to produce high temperature then operate for the condition in appendix and the colon. Do that as we have given for this body [4582].
8. We are through.
