TEXT

1. EC: We have the body here, [4806]. Now, we find there are disturbing forces as may be corrected in the physical forces of this body, [4806]. These, as we find, have to do with the assimilating system and the effects as are created by that tendency of keeping the vitality low through the non-building up, in a systematic manner, of the resistances through that assimilated.
2. These, then, are the conditions as we find them with this body, [4806] we are speaking of:
3. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, we find the red blood as deficient, the white blood as alternating between the two characters of white blood as should be builded for the resuscitation and for the coagulation as should exist in the system. Hence we find the tendencies of too much of the conditions where the activities of the lymph circulation cause for, through all of the eliminations, in a manner, an excess of secretions; as is seen in the alimentary canal at times, as is seen in the manner of the activity of the kidneys in their frequency, as is seen at times in the character of the breathing when there is an over-activity physically, or when LITTLE exertion causes that tendency of fullness in throat; also the tendency of phlegm to accumulate in throat, through bronchi, and in nasal cavities. This, as we find, is from those excesses and the improper assimilating of that as is taken for the replenishing or rebuilding in the system.
4. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, we find many of those centers, that ESPECIALLY show for the activities of the organs of the eliminating and assimilating system, show for a TENDERNESS in these regions, along the cerebro-spinal system; there the tendency at times, that at the 4th lumbar center, of an aching, or of uneasiness and heaviness, especially if body stands on feet for a time; also that of the tendency of feeling full after eating beyond that of normalcy. In the activities of the nerve centers from which the radial forces show for the digestion, these - as we find - in the 9th and in the 6th and 7th dorsal - also show for this tendency to be tender, sore, or at times to ache, in the manner as is indicated from their activity.
5. IN THE FUNCTIONING OF THE ORGANS THEMSELVES, we find the sensory system, especially, that tendency for the activities to the eyes, to the ears, to show the fullness of the lymph circulation; tendency of drumming or roaring at times in ears, of too much of secretions through the lachrymal ducts about the eyes, too much of that tendency of the saliva - or of the glands in the mouth and throat - apparently, secrete too much. These, as is seen, come from other causes, and produces that activity.
6. Heart's action shows an irregularity at times, but not of an organic nature; rather of the reflex nature.
7. The digestive system shows that there has been the tendency to keep for those of the pre-digested foods, and for the tendencies to increase the eliminations through the alimentary canal by the amount, or excesses of those secretions as are thrown off in the gastric forces of the system.
8. The hepatic circulation shows a coldness; not too high, but of a coldness in its activity. The tendency of the trembliness in extremities, from those pressures as come both from the brachial forces or centers, also from those of the locomotaries in the lower portion, or those just below the 4th lumbar centers.
9. In meeting, then, the needs of the conditions - these should be taken in to consideration, that - in forming for the system that which will produce for those of the proper vibratory forces - and even balance, a replenishing and rebuilding, must be taken into consideration, that will be done in a manner that will build up, but not to the expense of any one portion of system.
10. As for the medicinal properties, we would prepare, then, first as these: We would take first those of this, as a carrier for the properties as would be added together. We would take those of the bark of Wild Cherry 3 ounces, with 12 ounces of distilled water. We would reduce this by simmering, or slow boiling, to about HALF the quantity, see? 6 ounces. To this, then, we would add 2 ounces of simple syrup, with 1 ounce of 85% grain alcohol. Then we would add those of:

    Tincture of Stillingia.................1/4 ounce,
Essence of Indian Turnip................10 minims,
Essence of Calisaya, or
Tincture of Calisaya, or

    Elixir of Calisaya.....................1/4 ounce,
Essence of Wild Ginseng.................40 minims,
Lactated Pepsin........................1/4 ounce.

    Shake the solution together before the dose is taken. We would take half a teaspoonful 4 times each day, before the meals and before retiring.
11. We would also be mindful of the diet, that there are those of the full rebuilding - especially of those that build for the blood supply, and more of that in the vegetable forces than in meats - though the JUICES of meats may be taken occasionally. Let these, WHEN taken, not have TOO MUCH of the condiments, but especially as much of the SALT as the body can well take, or that is palatable to the body. Those in the vegetables should be, plenty of those of the citrous fruits - especially or mornings. These may be altered occasionally with those of the whole wheat or the buckwheat cakes, with a very NOMINAL amount of syrup - but the syrup should be of the pure character, or PREFERABLY that of the honey in the honeycomb; not that, that is slung, or that is made artificially, for this has a superficial action through the amount of the glucose as is in same - but that with the honeycomb, and of the fresh variety, is the better.
12. Then we would have, in the noon meal, those preferably of the vegetables that are raw, in part - and there may be added some sea foods, with oils that would be as dressings for same. Plenty of tomatoes, lettuce, and such, should be taken during this meal.
13. In the evenings there may be those of the soups, or of the broths from those of the meats, but little or NO meats. Then, spinach, celery, lettuce, carrots, turnips, and such - these should be taken in the evening meal.
14. The exercises for the body should be as much in the open as is possible, and at least twice each week the full manipulation osteopathically, as to keep for the system that, that will keep a normal balance in the system.
15. As to the residence, or to the altitude or longitude for the body - these, we will find that those of the seashore, and not too HIGH an altitude, would be the BETTER for the body, WILL these others as given be applied to the system. Ready for questions. We are through with this reading.
