TEXT

1. EC: Now, we find in this body (though it is very good in many respects) there are those of the constitutional conditions that affects many various portions of the body, and we have some specific conditions as is produced from these various minor conditions in the body. These may be corrected, when properly handled, and the body brought to its normal forces and conditions.
2. Now these are conditions as we find them in this body, [4858], we are speaking of. First:
3. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, we find this very good, though lacking in the rebuilding forces to the normal extent as it should be, for with the condition of the functioning organs much of the elemental forces are taken up in the system, attempting to create from the blood supply those elements to meet the needs of the conditions. Especially do we find this in the head, also in the duodenum, or lower end of the stomach, where congestion shows, and the blood supply is used in unusual amounts in those places, and where secretions are thrown off to meet the conditions there.
4. NERVE SYSTEM, we find this rather in the state of excitement throughout in many portions of the system, for we have some specific conditions that have been created in centers that give distress to portions of the body, especially in these centers where we have floating lesions that cause disturbance to the system in the fourth lumbar and in the 8th dorsal, where each affect, we see, the organs that are controlled in nerve supply from these centers, those of the pelvis, lower portion of stomach reflexly, and those of the stomach proper from the dorsal region. The nerves to the head from these conditions carry pains to the lower portion of brain, so the distress comes in the base or back of the head, and to the upper or central portion through the medulla oblongata, you see. In the sympathetic nerve system, this we find gives distress through the mental forces from the continual aggravation at times of conditions in the system, as does the catarrhal condition that exists, both in the organs of the sensory system and in the pyloric and duodenum end of stomach.
5. THE FUNCTIONING OF ORGANS, brain forces very good.
6. In the eyes, ears, nose and throat, or organs of the sensory system, the physical conditions are affected in this circulation.
7. Lungs very good, when we consider the condition of blood.
8. Heart forces high in beat, normal and below normal at times in pulsation, or pressure, though no organic conditions.
9. In the digestive tract we find distress at times to the stomach proper, for with the condition existing in the lower end there is form of gas rather than of hydrochloric, so we find the hypogastric center rather than the pneumogastric being the one most afflicted, or in distress.
10. In the liver tending to be over-active in its excretory, while the secretions for the system keep the condition of excitement through the lower end of the intestinal tract, making a cold or low hepatic circulation.
11. Kidneys only reflex of conditions, for the excess is made to be relieved through this portion of the excretory system. Lymphatics, in the lower portion of the extremities, and from the nerve center, or that nerve as the locomotories, show the effect of this kidney action at times in the system.
12. RELIEF, to give the best for this body, we would first take in the system that which will produce the vibrations necessary for the correction incentives for the functioning of the conditions in the body. We would take this in the system. This would be the dose, and there should be at least eight of these prepared:

    Cascara Sagrada............1/2 grain,
Liquorice Compound...........1 grain,
Dovers Powders.............1/4 grain,
Yellow Saffron...............2 grains.

13. These would be put in capsules, and one taken every other day until all of these are taken.
14. Let the body drink plenty of water while these are being taken in the system.
15. Then take those of the deep manipulation, after these have assimilated through the system, you see, to correct the condition in the dorsals and lumbar regions, giving the electrical vibration each evening when osteopathic treatments are taken, those of the violet ray forces over the whole system, especially temples, back of head, 12th dorsal and sacral region, down the lower limbs on the back side. Should be given next to the skin itself to create these vibrations necessary for the body.
16. Do that, [4858].
