TEXT

1. EC: Now, we find there are some abnormal conditions in this body, and these are produced from different conditions than from that we had before. While there are some of the same conditions that seem to be aggravated at this time that were giving troubles when we had this before, there are functioning organs involved and not organic disturbances other than through the functioning at this time.
2. Now, these are conditions as we find them at this time. First:
3. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, we find this deficient in the rebuilding in the system and too much of the blood forces are turned to the white blood supply and not sufficient to the red blood. Hence we find the portions of the system where this change takes place in the system deficient in that element necessary to create this in the system. That then we find deficient is in the iron and salt in the system in the organs creating this replenishing of the blood supply. This deficiency is produced by the functioning of organs, as we shall see, and that causing this deficiency by specific conditions, as we shall see.
4. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, these we find at the present time very good. There are centers that need to be given different incentives from that exercised in the system at the present time.
5. IN THE FUNCTIONING OF THE ORGANS, we find as these. First:
6. In the brain supply this is very good.
7. In the functioning of the organs proper, that is of the sensory organism, we find there are some deficiencies in these on account of the blood supply and on account of the eliminations from used forces in these portions, especially in the eyes at the present time.
8. In the throat, lungs and larynx, these are very good. Some congestion shown at present in the bronchials and in the larynx, and a reflex also from this to the lungs proper.
9. The heart action subnormal rather than abnormal, the pressure as produced in the heart forces in the condition of the blood supply being that causing this condition, and in the supply of blood forces as is given between the liver and the heart's action, also the brain supply of blood forces, this giving the subnormal heart's action.
10. In the digestive tract, these are some different from that we had before. At the present time, we find the body suffers at times with gastritis and with the overflow of the gastric juices in the stomach, causing a nerve indigestion, produced by the lacteal fluids attempting to create other than that necessary to meet the needs of the system, caused by improper functioning of the ducts that create the fluids for the pancreas action in system. This we find in the nerve plexus of the 9th dorsal that shows this contraction. Also in the duct of the hypogastric gland and blood flow through the arterial supply to same rather than feed through vein supply as taken from this portion of body. Hence the depressed laggard feeling over the whole system. The body, apparently, having sufficient flesh and fat in system, yet it being in a manner as separated or loose from the system, as portions of the body hangs in folds over system, as shown at present.
11. In the functioning then of the organs as producing this condition, we find this comes more from the diet and from the system absorbing those toxins from the system itself, until the lesions produced in the hypogastric center give off this condition, with the suppressed reaction of the juices as created by the pancreas; the liver became engorged, and instead of being as we found before this we find it a plethora condition in the lobes of the liver proper.
12. The upper portion of intestinal tract and the digestion is carried on in this portion of the system then coming under the condition as is shown by the circulation, and through this portion of the system have the toxins been absorbed that became destructive elements in the red blood supply of the system, or a form of malaria bacilli in the system proper. This we find also has affected and does affect the hepatic circulation and gives distress to the functioning of the kidneys proper, so that at times we find the over-functioning and the bladder overflowing, and at other times a suppressed condition in the functioning of the kidneys proper in the elimination as is thrown off through the urinary canals of the body.
13. R E L I E F, then, to give the best to this system and bring the normal supply and incentives to the system to function normal, we would give this into the system first, that we may prepare the body for the conditions.
14. Mix well together:

    Powdered Myrrh..............36 grains,
Bicarbonate of Soda.........18 grains,
Muriated Iron...............18 grains.

    After well mixed, add sufficient simple syrup to make into pellets, making 40 pellets. One of these would be taken mornings before meals, evenings before retiring.
15. After this has been taken (the whole quantity), take this:
16. To one gallon of rain water, add:

    Sarsaparilla Root...........4 ounces,
Yellow Dock Root............2 ounces,
Dogwood Bark................1 ounce,
Prickly Ash Bark............1 ounce,
Mandrake Root..............30 grains,
Buchu Leaves...............15 grains.

    Reduce by simmering (not boiling) to one quart. Strain while warm and add 2 drams of Balsam of Tolu cut in 4 ounces of grain alcohol.
17. The dose would be a dessert spoonful 4 times each day.
18. Let the diet be as much vegetable matter as possible, and very little meats; preferably those of green vegetables and that only that grow above the ground.
19. Do that and we will find we will bring this body, [4709], to the normal conditions by the time this is completed.

BACKGROUND

1. See 4709-2 including Reports correspondence.

REPORTS

1. 6/02/24 [4709]'s letter to EC: "...Your diagnosis of May 23rd before me. I am trying the first prescription that you suggested and am getting a little relief from it. I will advise you later how the whole treatment works out.
   "Would it do any harm to take three of these pellets every day instead of two? I would like to try this out, if it does not interfere with the treatment.
   "I trust your institution will meet with continued success..."
2. 6/04/24 EC's letter to [4709]: "...I have yours of the 2nd and am certainly glad that you are feeling some relief after beginning on the first prescription. I have gone over the reading again very carefully and I judge from this that the dosage and quantity for one day is sufficient and I believe it would be better to follow that out. I know that you are naturally desirous of getting as quick results as possible but I believe the diagnosis and suggestions for improvement are correct, and that it will be better to follow them closely.
   "I thank you for your letter and trust you will let me hear from you from time to time. By the time two-thirds or all of the first prescription is gone, we would like to go over your case again and see just the condition..."
3. 6/11/24 [4709]'s letter to EC: "...Replying to your favor of June 4th, I would state that by the time this letter reaches you, I will have taken two-thirds of this prescription. If there is anything you can do to help me, I wish you would kindly do so, and I will gladly follow your instructions.
   "Trusting I will hear from you before long, and with kindest regards..."
4. 6/16/24 [4709]'s letter to EC: "...Your favor of the 13th before me. I returned your card this morning and imagine it will reach you in ample time.
   "So far, I have not received much benefit from the treatment. I did not know you wanted me to write you about my condition. I carried out all of your instructions and start on the balance of the treatment tomorrow. As far as results are concerned, you might say that I have not received any relief, the pills perhaps relieve me for a few hours, but that is all.
   "Would you care for me to make a small remittance now, or wait and make a more substantial one when I get relief? Of course, if you do not relieve me permanently, I will have to continue to spend money for other things in an effort to secure something to relieve me from pain. "I note with a good deal of interest what you say in your letter of June 10th and you know I will work in harmony with you all I possibly can..."
   "P.S. I have taken all the pills suggested in first part of treatment."
5. 6/18/24 See 4709-4.
