TEXT

1. GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find at the present time, giving the cause of the existing conditions, also the treatment for the cure and relief of this body. You will answer any questions I may ask you regarding this body.
2. EC: We have the body here.
3. Now, we find there are those specific conditions that cause disturbance throughout the physical forces of this body. These have in the beginning the basis of that condition wherein the hindrances in the eliminations cause the greater disturbance, where we find that various portions of the eliminating system became unbalanced, as it were, and where there should be eliminations through the normal channels, diverted toward other channels, and these cause the depressions as produce the retarding of the functioning of organs. Hence complications are the result of the condition. The beginnings of this, as we find, were of hindrances in the mesenteric system, and with the changes as came about from this, the nerves becoming overwrought, the depressions as resulted in the sympathetic have brought about hindrance to the organs of the sensory system. Hence in speech, in hearing, in the retractory conditions to the sensory system, were as hindrances, or the centers from which the radiation of impulse through the nerve system hindered, as it were, by this repression. Repression meaning here: Poisons accumulating in various portions of body by not being eliminated in and through their normal channels. Hence we find as these:
4. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, this overcharged. At times showing subnormal. Again showing a very active and a full pulsation, without high pressure. Again we find high pressure, with a very low reaction, showing disturbances through liver, spleen, and the hepatic circulation.
5. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, this the greater distress, though not as would be ordinarily called a nervous individual or person, yet INWARDLY afraid, or unactive [inactive] toward many reflexes of the nerves through the depression as has been caused in the system.
6. IN THE FUNCTIONING OF THE ORGANS, all show their stress and strain over the whole system, and are reacting in the manner as given.
7. Now, to meet the needs of the conditions for this body, we must first build to that point wherein the body - from its creative forces - may build resistance for the conditions to be met, and these must be built with respect to existent conditions in functional and organic conditions. First, then, prepare as this:
8. To one (1) gallon of rain water, add:

   Sarsaparilla Root.........4 ounces,
Wild Cherry Bark..........2 ounces,
Yellow Dock Root..........2 ounces,
Burdock Root..............2 ounces,
Black Snake Root..........2 ounces,
Calisaya Bark.............1 ounce,
Mandrake Root............15 grains,
Buchu Leaves.............30 grains,
Elder Flower..............2 ounces.

9. Reduce by simmering (not boiling) to one (1) quart. Strain, and while warm add four (4) ounces pure grain alcohol, with three (3) drams Balsam of Tolu cut in same.
10. The dose would be (shaking solution well together) teaspoon- ful four (4) times each day.
11. After half the quantity has been taken, begin with the correction osteopathically of those lesions as are found in the 2nd cervical, the 5th dorsal, and the lower lumbar. Need not make corrections until the system will respond to the manipulations for better eliminations.
12. After this manipulation has been given until the whole quantity of medicinal properties are given, then we would give further instructions.
13. In the diet beware of meats.
14. Keep the intestinal tract open, either by the high enema when necessary - but not by taking cathartics, but by diet and properties given here, or of the water, see?
15. Ready for questions.
16. (Q) Is an operation necessary for this body?
    (A) Not were these conditions as given carried out. We will find then, the eliminations will be such as to correct the conditions for this body. Do as given, until these properties and manipulations are taken. Then we would give that necessary for the further correction of the conditions in this body. See?
17. (Q) Will the hearing be improved?
    (A) The hearing will be CORRECTED entirely when these are carried out in full as will be given, see? We must first build for that which will give resistance for the building up of the body. Operations under EXISTENT conditions would be detrimental, on account - as given - of blood condition, for this is at a condition where excesses show that the body could NOT recuperate fully from such exaggerated conditions in the body. Hence the building through the elimination and stimulations to rid the body of the drosses or accumulations in the system.
    Do that as given.
18. We are through for the present.
