TEXT

1. EC: Now, we find this body in the developing stage, and we find there are some conditions that are abnormal. These conditions are better at the present time than they have been in times back, yet we find that without their correction to the normal that the development may be normal we will have abnormal conditions that will produce a great deal more distressing conditions in the time to come. These we find have been produced in times back, and are specific conditions, yet causing distresses in many different ways. That affected is in the digestive tract as is exercised in the pyloric and cardiac ends both of the stomach. This we see affecting the hypogastric in the pyloric end and the pneumogastric in the cardiac end. Hence we have portions of the system that function through the organs as governed reflexly and directly by the conditions produced in these plexuses.
2. Now, these are conditions as we find them in this body, [4596], we are speaking of, present in this room.
3. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, this we find at the time very good, yet not as sufficient of the red blood supply in the system as there should be, though coagulation; that is, the coordinating of red blood and white blood is good. The rebuilding or the reserve energy in red blood is not sufficient. Often times we find this produces the inertia in the exercising of the physical forces of the body.
4. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, the plexuses as are involved are shown in the secondary cardiac plexus, or that at the 8th and 7th dorsals and the solar plexus, as that in the 10th and 12th dorsals. These are at present not as lesions, but as a tautness in the muscular forces, and are assisted by the relaxing of the body. In the action of these plexuses in the system, we find the effect comes to the kidneys at times, to the digestive tract and to the intestinal tract in the action of the system proper, and at times to the liver and diaphragm, which apparently gives temperature, or the dullness, languidness, to the body.
5. IN THE FUNCTIONING OF THE ORGANS PROPER, all are very good, for they are in their developing, save as influenced by the condition existing, as we have given. These conditions may be corrected easily, for we find this produces the smaller stomach than should be the normal condition.
6. To give the relief proper for this, we would take this in the system consistently and persistently, yet following closely the conditions as exercised in the body as the action and reaction of these properties take place in the system.
7. We would take this for at least three days: Take broken doses of Castoria. That is, nine drops taken every three hours (see, when asleep). At the same time taking a tea made from Yellow Saffron, in this quantity.
8. To eight ounces of water (rain water preferred) add three drams of Yellow Saffron. Let this steep (not boil) until reduced to six ounces. Strain, and when given, give two teaspoonsful in a half glass of water. Let this be taken at least twice each day. Will be taken at the same time the Castoria is taken, and keep up afterwards until we have corrected the condition in the intestinal tract, and give the action proper in the duodenum, pancreas and liver.
9. While this, and before this is completed, the adjustments must be made in the dorsals, as given. From the 3rd dorsal to the 1st sacral. Adjustments only twice - once to twice - each week, but these should be made until the alignment is proper there.
10. Do that, and we will find we will bring this body to its normal development. Do not let the body have too much sweets, else with the condition we will create the condition in the kidneys and bladder that will be detrimental, until these corrections are made. Then the body may be normal. Not meats. Vegetables, cereals, fruits all may be taken. Not meats.
11. Do that. The body will develop and we will find that the special incentives and training for this body should be in mental science and in music. Trained in this line the body will make its mark in the future.
12. Do that, as we have given.
