TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here. We have had this before, you see. Now, we find there are a great many changes in this body since last we had it. Some conditions that existed at that time are not troublesome to the body at present, yet arise, in a measure, from those existing conditions that were in the system at the time, and were not properly eliminated, and now manifest this condition arising at present.
2. There is poor elimination throughout the whole system, for in many functioning organs the powers of the elimination through the correct channels have been, as it were, set aside for the time being, and other functionings take place.
3. Now, these are the conditions as we find in this body at the present time:
4. In the blood supply to the body, we find the body carries those poisons and toxins from some organs that are at the present in distress from congestion and improper circulation toward elimination - it, the circulation, receives these poisons from more than one source, for as we find, the body is not dangerously ill at present, yet many of the functioning organs are involved in the condition.
5. In the nerve forces we find the body is very well balanced, so far as the mental capacity of the body is concerned, yet with the distressing condition of the system, the body, through its nerve forces, gives the reflex condition to the entire nervous system.
6. In the functioning of the organs we find these conditions:
7. In the throat and larynx we find an excess of secretions left in the tissue of the tonsils themselves, and from this there are toxins that are unsavory to the blood supply taken into the system.
8. Through the lungs the body is very good.
9. Through the heart action, as a functioning organ, is very good, though the strained forces of the nerve and blood supply over-tax the respiratory system, and as the poor elimination gives the expression to the body here, we find the outlet in attempting to eliminate in the cuticle in the body itself. This is from nerve forces, and from the over-amount of stimulation to the eliminating system, with the kidneys, the liver and the dross of the system involved.
10. The liver has become torpid in its action.
11. The digestive tract shows the signs of improper secretions emanating in the system to carry on the perfect functioning of the organs of the digestion, especially in the intestinal tract, hence the body suffers from constipation.
12. The imperfect functioning of the liver, becoming overcharged, producing inflammation through the emunctories of this organ, and the absorption in the system of some of the poisons that should be eliminated through the intestines and kidneys.
13. (Q) Do you find other abnormal conditions in the body?
    (A) We have given these conditions here.
    How to give the relief to this body - we would have more than one way to overcome these conditions. That in the tonsils may be removed either by operation or by absorption if cared for or conducted correctly.
    We would take into the system, this: To one gallon of rain water we would add:

    Yellow Dock Root...............2 ounces,
Burdock Root...................2 ounces,
Dogwood Bark...................2 ounces,
Prickly Ash Bark...............2 ounces,
Mandrake Root.................15 grains,
Buchu Leaves..................30 grains.

    This would be simmered, NOT BOILED, until reduced to one quart. While warm, strain, and add:

    Grain Alcohol..................6 ounces,
Cane Sugar.....................4 ounces,
Balsam of Tolu.................2 drams.

    The dose would be dessertspoonful four times each day. The body should use the violet ray over the whole circulatory system, for five to ten minutes, to stimulate the circulation and the nerve centers, sufficiently to start the proper elimination. Do that and we will be able to reduce the condition in the throat and over the system by absorption - Mrs. [4831], ..., Alabama.
