TEXT

1. EC: Now we have conditions in this body, many of them have become normal conditions for existing conditions in the system, yet not normal for this body. When correct incentives are given to the circulation in its eliminating forces and through the proper channels for same, but with the inertia of the body, as has grown with the age, stature and condition of the body, these conditions producing this abnormal force in the system, show and exert themselves through the physical forces, this being produced as we see by the absorption of toxins in the system and their effect upon the nerve tissue and its effect upon the circulation, and circulation in carrying these conditions, produce in functioning organs this abnormal force.
2. Now, these are conditions as we find with this body. First:
3. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, there is an over abundance of the red blood forces in the system. Hence the pressure; yet circulation is low and strong. Especially does this show in the lower extremities and to the lower trunk portion of the body. Capillary circulation subnormal, the hepatic circulation above the normal, hence the pressure and the distress caused in the tissue where circulation is diverted from the arterial to the veins in their return to the portions of the system where the system is to eliminate from the blood the poisons in the system as created by the functioning of those portions through which this circulation has passed.
4. NERVE FORCES, in the nerve forces of the system the body is very good, when the conditions are taken into consideration, though far from being normal conditions of the body. The cerebrospinal nerve centers, especially those branches come from the lower end of the cerebrospinal nerve proper, show this distress in the system more than others. Those of the sciatic nerve show how this strain upon the system, in the pelvic region especially, have impressed the nerve centers as to make them, as it were, under subjugation of the poisons and their effect upon the centers direct. Inflammation created at times, you see, pains, swelling of the limbs, swelling of the body about the lower portion of the abdomen, across the hips. Again the dead, dull, or tingling feeling comes to these portions of the body.
5. ORGANS OF THE BODY, in the functioning of the organs themselves we find this: Brain forces very good. Lymphatic circulation through the head and organs of the head, in the normal forces of physical body proper. We find over-secretions at times, again a tendency to be an exaggeration of the dryness created there. Organs of the sensory system sympathetically active and overactive from the same force, this being produced we see from the nerve pressure and condition in the lower lumbar region, and again reflex.
6. Lungs good.
7. Heart action normal, below normal and above normal. All are manifested in the body, though not from organic conditions. An enlarged heart in the organ itself.
8. Liver torpid.
9. Organs of digestion in this express the reaction of blood and toxins from condition in intestinal tract. Especially is this shown in the colon and is of the whole length of the colon, the ascending, transverse and descending colon, so that in the lower portion, or in the outer portion of the body itself, the front of the intestinal tract becomes inflamed from the inflammation produced in all of secretions being thrown in the system to give the proper action of the portion of the body proper.
10. The hepatic circulation, as we have given, high or above the normal in its vibration, and circulation produced by the system attempting to create the necessary supply of all forces necessary to create the balance of force to carry the body in its functioning along properly. Especially is this shown in the lower portion of the intestinal tract and the extremities or lower extremities, the limbs.
11. In the kidneys and the bladder, inflammation [is] created at times by excess of functioning of the organ and of the poisons left in the system. So we have the effect of this toxin or of the uric acid forces in the body.
12. RELIEF, to create the correct balance of force in the system, we would take this in the body. Those properties as are found in that proprietary prescription called Vinol, - only taken one-half the quantity as is prescribed there, - and ADD to that, this:

    Tincture of Valerian...........4 ounces,
Iodide of Potassium............1 grain,
Bromide of Potassium...........3 grains,
Elixir Calisaya................4 ounces.

    Sufficient simple syrup to make 11 ounces, and shake well each time before taking.
13. One teaspoon of this would be taken, preferably of morning. One dose each day. Take those of the Vinol, only taking one-half the quantity. Then use for the body those of direct vibrations, electrically driven, across the sacral and lower portion of the diaphragm and groin, and down each sciatic nerve.
14. Do this each evening for ten to fifteen minutes. We will find this will give the correct vibration and the incentive for the system to function more normally. Only use in diet those of easy digestion foods. None of the vegetables that carry the hard digestion. No potatoes, no cabbage, no beans, but wheat, barley, oats, corn. These may be used. Fruits plenty, especially apples. Do that.
