TEXT

1. EC: Now, throughout the body, in the physical forces, there are some abnormal conditions, yet the body in many ways is very good. Those conditions that disturb or distress the body have to do with the blood supply and its effect in its action on the organs in the system at this time.
2. Now, these are conditions as we find them in this body, [4990], we are speaking of, present in this room. First:
3. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, we find this surcharged with properties not eliminated, yet they (the properties) are being destroyed in the system, and with this action in the various portions by the excess of the leucocyte in the system this produces in the tissue itself the distressed conditions as we find in the joints at times, across the hips and across the small of the back, as we have in the pressure as is produced in the system proper, the taxing of the heart forces, though not organic conditions there. These are the causes as we find that produce this condition in the body, this coming from a specific condition existing in other portions of the system has become set in this manner.
4. We find this produces a high pressure, an abnormal pulsation at times, depression to the lung forces, a fullness through the diaphragm at times, as it does in the extremities and through other portions of the body, by the leaving, as it were, of the sediment in the tissue in these portions of the body.
5. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, this we find very good, save in the plexuses as govern through the trunk portion of body, specific that of the hypogastric plexus. Hence how the taxation with the blood forces has to do with the kidneys and the bladder. In this we have the refraction of the condition as exists in circulation. With the sympathetic system these are very good. The respiratory, with the sympathetic system, also give much of this heaviness in the circulation through the capillaries.
6. IN THE FUNCTIONING OF THE ORGANS THEMSELVES, we find that with this condition in the blood supply that the taxing to the organs of the sensory system at times gives distress to the organs themselves; eyes, throat, ears all have their reponding effect, or the condition responding in the functioning of the organs.
7. In the lungs very good, though a full circulation and the cells themselves plethoric in their incentive action.
8. The digestive tract shows how the effect of the hypogastric is upon the pneumogastric forces, yet not the seat, yet causing much of the distress in the lower end of stomach proper. Hence the effect that certain kinds of foods have upon the body. The body should not eat meats so much, you see, as it has been. No hog meat, only those of fish or fowl, for we have produced in the duodenum (the lower end of stomach) and in the pancreas those secretions that change the blood supply so that in the lacteal gland the change turns, as it were, with the heavy flow in the body, producing stagnation, and will produce in the end an arterial obstruction. Hence the condition to be removed.
9. The hepatics a low circulation. The kidneys charged in attempting to try to eliminate, as is the liver, which shows the effect of this as to cause the secretions in intestinal tract produce obstructions in portions of same.
10. R E L I E F, to bring the normal forces to this body, we would take those properties in the system that will create the incentive properly in the blood supply. We would correct through the deep manipulation (chiropractically given) the conditions in the lower dorsal and in the upper lumbar, where, with this circulation (also that in the sixth dorsal), the centers show how that the tissue and the supply of nerve nutriment in the action of the system cause this trouble to be aggravated at times in system.
11. Take these as medicinal properties, taking adjustments every other day for two weeks. Then skip three weeks, then take two weeks again.
    Medicinal properties -

    Wild Cherry Bark...................4 ounces,
Yellow Dock Root...................2 ounces,
Black Haw Bark.....................2 ounces,
Prickly Ash Bark...................1 ounce,
Mandrake Root.....................20 grains,
Calisaya Bark......................1 ounce,
Buchu Leaves......................15 grains.

    Add these to one gallon of rain water. Reduce by simmering (not boiling) to one quart. Strain while warm and add two drams of Balsam of Tolu, cut in four ounces of grain alcohol.
12. The dose would be teaspoonful four times each day, taken before meals and before retiring. When the whole quantity is taken, and the adjustments have been made properly, we will find we will bring normal conditions for this body, [4990].
13. (Q) Should the body change its present location?
    (A) As for the health, it does not matter. For other conditions there is one in mind that would be better from the financial standpoint.
    Do that.
