TEXT

1. MB: Yes, we have the body here. Now we find there are those conditions in the physical forces of the body as cause distress or uneasiness as respecting same. These have to do principally with the nervous system as is acted upon by existent conditions as are seen in the physical forces of the body. These then are the conditions as we find them with this body, Mrs. [4629] we are speaking of.
2. EC: First, in the blood supply, this shows the lack of vitality as is necessary to complete the continual plasmatic cellular rebuilding forces for the system; hence cause through the existent forces that as brings about detrimental conditions for nerve ganglions and centers as will be seen in the constituents of the blood supply. The hemoglobin deficient especially in potash. In the nerve system this we find that as is the general condition of disturbance in same with the unbalanced condition as is caused by improper metabolism in the forces of body, those ganglions that are in those regions where the various portions of the system show the effect of this improper distribution of forces as created in the blood supply bring about disturbances with the functioning of organs of the system: as is seen, those of the headaches, the tendency to be nauseated at times without apparent reason; pains through various portions of the system, heaviness about the diaphragm. These are purely reflex conditions and when there has been a contribution to the functioning of the organ so disturbed without consideration of the cause of that producing same, the results from such application has not always been satisfactory.
3. In the effect as is produced in those ganglions so disturbed, we find same specifically in that of the second cardiac ganglions and that of the fourth lumbar ganglions that has to do with the sympathetic and cerebro-spinal center that is situated near same. In their reflex re-action through the system, that of the cardiac and of the ganglion plexus as with the hypogastric and pneumogastric plexus producing that reflex as produces or brings about the heaviness and nausea to the body; also the headaches as are produced in the base of the brain and to the frontal portions and through the eyes, affecting the central nervous system reflexes.
4. As to the condition brought about, that of a catarrhal condition exists in portion of the mucous-producing membranes of the system especially is this seen in that of the ducts where the change of blood in the system, hence this heaviness as has occurred in the right-side at times. The functioning of the organs themselves have been and are at times subservient to the conditions as are produced in blood supply and in nerve system. Then to meet the needs of the conditions at present, is to add that to the system that would bring about a more normal equilibrium, a more normal metabolism in the system and the better coordination of nerve and blood supply and that which would build in the system, resistance necessary for the benefits to be given the vital forces of the body.
5. First, we would add those of the gentle masseur vibration that neuropathically or osteopathically, better neuropathically given, over the system, following immediately with a very low form of electric vibration for the enlivenment of the circulation giving as medicinal properties those that will add to that necessary to replenish in the blood that necessary for a normal balance of same. These as we would find would be in a preparation prepared in this manner:
6. First, we would take 6 oz. of wild cherry bark, add to this 16 oz. distilled or rain water, reduced by simmering to one half the quantity. Then add 4 oz. of sugar, first dissolved in 4 oz. of water, boiling this slowly together until reduced to the original quantity of 8 oz., then add:

   Tincture of Stillingia..........1/4 ounce,
Compound Syrup of Sarsparilla...1/2 ounce, or of
Sassafras........................20 minims,
Tincture of Capsici...............2 minims,
Elixir of Calisaya..............1/2 ounce,
Essence of Celerina..............14 ounces.

   Shake this solution well together before the dosage is taken which should be teaspoonful after each meal.
7. As for the diet or foods for the body, much of the juices of meats may be taken but little or none of the flesh itself. Vegetables that grow above the ground, none that grown below the ground; these are better for the body. Drink plenty of water, occasionally adding those of lithia that the equilibrium in the hepatic circulation may be kept nearer normal. Do that. Ready for questions.
8. (Q) How do you spell 'stillingia' in the prescription?
   (A) S-t-i-l-l-i-n-g-i-a.
9. (Q) What kind of electrical treatment would be better?
   (A) A low form of violet ray vibration especially on the cerebro-spinal nervous system. Do not give same unless the massage or the neuropathic massage is given.
10. (Q) How long or how many treatments should be given neuropathically and electrically?
    (A) At least 36.
11. (Q) At what intervals?
    (A) These should be given every day.
12. (Q) The whole bottle of medicine should be taken?
    (A) Correct, that the greater portion of the medicinal properties be taken, when this has been taken and the vibration set-up as has been outlined. We will find near normal forces for this body and the correction of many conditions that have been disturbing. Do that. We are through for the present.
