TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here. Now the conditions we find in this body, there are some that are abnormal. They have to do with the system in the functioning of organs as effected by the condition produced in the body, by the non-eliminating elements not in proper condition or by toxins as assimilated from the body in the body, that is, the system in circulation absorbed from the system of digestion when they should have been eliminated.
2. Now these are conditions as we find them in this body, [4846], we are speaking of: In the blood supply the condition as produced shows the impoverished condition of blood in rebuilding to overcome the elements produced in the system as is needed by this force to produce the equilibrium in circulation that would give the better forces to the body. This, we find, shows how this is carried in the system, these toxins you see, and the centers in nerves and in capillary circulation, the condition there is the effect produced by the impoverished condition in the blood, and the system eliminating through the improper channels.
3. Nerve forces, we find the body overtaxed both by strain in taxation of nerve direct and of the inability of blood to supply that nutriment necessary to give nerve center the proper incentives.
4. In the functioning of the organs themselves, the body through brain forces, very good. In the sensory organism the effect of toxins gives the centers such an aggravated condition as to produce the affect as shown here. Throat, larynx, the thyroids, as is shown in their expression give the rise of the condition as is produced in these portions of the body. Lungs, very good. Digestive tract in upper, or that as shown from the vatory [salivary?] glands to the duodenum, very good. From the entrance in, or the affect of the pancrean forces to the rest of the system, not so good, that is, through the viscera. Liver, hardened in its tendency to furnish the secretions sufficient to carry on the conduct of the digestive forces through the small intestines. Through the ascending colon there are times when there are signs of conditions produced by the strain of toxins in the effect on the ductless glands. Through the pelvic organs the strain here produced rather by nerve tension and impoverished condition through the elemental forces of blood.
5. To give the relief to this body to bring the equilibrium necessary, we would take this into the system: To one gallon of rain water we would add:

   Sarsaparilla Root.............4 ounces,
Dogwood Bark..................2 ounces,
Yellow Dock Root..............1 ounce,
Black Snake Root..............1 ounce,
Hydrastis.....................1 ounce,
Camoline [Camomile?]........1/2 ounce,
Elder Flower................1/2 ounce.

6. Reduce by simmering, not boiling, to one quart, strain, while warm, add:

   Grain Alcohol.................6 ounces, with
Balsam of Tolu................3 drams cut in it.

7. The dose would be teaspoonful for times each day half an hour before meals and at bed time. Do that. We are through.
