TEXT

1. GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find at the present time; giving the cause of the existing conditions, also the treatment for the cure and relief of this body.
2. EC: We have the body here.
3. Now, we find, while there are conditions that disturb the equilibrium of the body, that cause some distress throughout the physical forces and the functioning through their normal channels; yet, as conditions exist in the physical force, we find these should be used rather as warnings and corrections, and made in time to prevent those outcomes that might be the result of neglect of physical condition existent in the forces of the body - for, while changes are coming about, these are of the natural tendencies from those changes as are taking place in the physical force - and while the vitality and the resistance is low in the body, THIS should be taken first into consideration and builded up; for, as yet, we find only that of the constitutional conditions are existent, and no portion of the system breaking away, or even out of balance, to the extent that the GENERAL upbuilding would not correct the conditions for the body - for while we find blood supply low, yet the elements and constituents of same are good. While true enough we find there are conditions disturbing with the digestive system, and the functioning and action of the digestive system, yet ORGANICALLY these are not disarranged. Functionally it becomes of a constitutional nature, and an overtaxing, and the change as is taking place in the physical forces of the body under the existent circumstance.
4. In the general organism then, to build up, we would add rather those vibrations to the system that would keep in perfect accord those forces in the system that supply nutriment to the blood, sediment and elasticity - as it were - to the nerve and to the whole general system as sustenance for the rebuilding, replenishing, re-supplying, re-functioning, re-organization, correlation, and the ASSIMILATION of forces in the organism of the body. These we would find first in applying these as properties for the system in medicinal properties - keeping the diet as high of the vitamin and of the protein as is assimilated by the system, changing when there is found that the disturbance either causes an excess of secretions thrown off through the mesenteric system or causes congestion - so that there is a tendency for congestion through the mesenteric system - changing according to the needs of the physical forces of the body, as they present themselves - taking as medicinal properties these:
5. First we would take one-half (1/2) pint Spirits Frumenti. Pour into an open basin and burn the alcohol from same. See? Add to this rock candy, until no more will dissolve in the solution.
6. Then cut in the alcohol necessary to cut same, two (2) drams Balsam of Tolu. When this is cut, add to the solution, see? and the dose would be half teaspoonful three times each day, see? This, as we find, will give appetite, clarify the conditions as exist in the system from the inability of the body to throw off the excess of secretions thrown out through the bronchials and through the pulmonaries, and will clarify the system also.
7. When this fully has been taken, then use the massage - PREFERABLY that as would be supplied through one well versed in NEUROPATHY - for this whole system needs to expand and relax to the body, rather than corrections through vertebral forces or of the taxation of muscular tissue. Rather the nerve end WITH tissue needs following out. Fifteen to twenty such adjustments and manipulations - AFTER these properties have been taken in the system - should correct this body to its full development in that coming about in the body. Do that.
8. We are through for the present.
