TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here. Now, we find this body very good and above the normal in many respects, yet there are some conditions that may be corrected in the system as a preventive for conditions that may arise and others that exist at the present time may be corrected to give the body the better balance throughout the system. These have to do with elimination, especially the effect this has on circulation and some specific conditions that have arisen in the body. Now, these are conditions as we find them in this body, of [4897], we are speaking of.
2. First, in the blood supply, the body is very good throughout, save of that condition as is shown in the extremities, lower limbs especially in the right knee, of the lack of elimination through capillary circulation. Hence, the blood carries some of the toxins at different times, not at present, in the system that has left and does leave those elemental conditions, as it were, about the joints, - we find the head or the end of the ligaments in the different portions become disturbed by these conditions and give distress to portions of the body. There is also in the lungs proper this same condition that fills the lung chambers at times, so that the deeper breathing becomes a distraughtness to the body, makes a rush of blood to the head, - hence the short quick breath at times, - not organic forces, neither elemental forces of blood disturbed, but of physical conditions in the system, as we shall see.
3. In the nerve system, the body is very good, except at such times as there has been reaction in this portion of the body, of the diaphragm and solar plexus center. Then, we find that in the center (solar plexus center) that gives distress to the body and produces irritation through mental forces or becomes temperamental in its action, see. In the organs of the body, themselves, brain forces good. Active forces above normal, both in person and individuality of the body, so personality and individuality are both manifested to a degree above normal forces in this body. In the organs of sensory system, this same manifestation is at times shown of a perceptible nature so that all function above their normal for the body and its span of life on this plane.
4. Throat, larynx, lungs, show the effect of conditions as we have given. Digestive tract very good at present, disturbances have been in the past more than now. Liver shows the effect of the system having left in the circulation that that should be eliminated, produced rather in the lymphatic forces than in the blood direct, for absorption in this has been to the organs nearer to the function of the liver, without the functioning of the liver being directly involved in the condition. That is, the upper intestinal tract, the gall duct itself, the pancreas, and those portions secreting in the system, especially in that of lymphatic forces and centers in these organs themselves, - coming then on the nerve forces, we see, in its reaction as is produced through this portion of the body at times. Specific conditions in the intestinal tract cause distrautness, as well as some in the pelvic organs which produces the pressure that causes the overabundance of secretions in leukocyte forces, and lymphatic centers in trunk portion to draw off, and the body becomes self-intoxicated or toxin self-formed rather than auto-intoxication, get the difference - one a local condition, the other constitutional forces as exhibited in the body. The liver with the hepatics show how that the kidneys, at times overcharged, though with the secretions rather a lack of the emunctory forces getting in the kidneys than over-secretion, hence the inflammation at times produced in the bladder itself, though not organically dis-eased, - not diseased but dis-eased, see. In the action then of this in the system produces the circulation to form this condition by the exchange, as it were, in the emunctories, in the glands, in the system where circulation is changed from the arterial forces to return, hence the extremities gather the greater force, as we see from the coldness as is produced in the feet especially, and hands at times.
5. To give the balance in this body and to bring about the equilibrium necessary, we would take in the system small quantities of medicinal properties only, for with the incentive through the mental activities and the action of the forces through the sympathetic and its control over the body, the body needs not that of such a nature as would cause distress rather than assistance in the whole system. So, we would take this:

   Leptandrin..............1/2 grain,
Sanguinaria.............1/2 grain,
Licorice Compound.......1/2 grain,
Cascara Sagrada.........1/4 grain.

   These would be - this is a dose you see - these would be put in small capsules, - one taken every third day until at least three doses are taken.
6. To give vibrations over the sciatic nerve center and its tendons, those vibrations as would be found in the violet ray, connected direct, see. This would be taken only every second day for five minutes from the solar plexus to the heels, see. Do that. We will find we will give this body better incentives and that which will create the equilibrium throughout the system of [4897] we are speaking of.
7. We are through.
