TEXT

1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with suggestions for the relief and improvement of same.
2. EC: Now, we find there are changes in the physical conditions of the body at this time, from that as we have had here before. The condition as is producing that in the blood stream, wherein the infection breaks out in various portions where that the leucocyte attempts to ward off, or to destroy the conditions, showing the effect of injections in the system.
3. Then, to overcome this condition, we would have these two conditions applied to the body, in this manner, that this may be ELIMINATED from the system:
4. Take in the system these properties: To 1 gallon of rain water, or Distilled Water, add:

   Sarsaparilla Root.......4 ounces,
Wild Cherry Bark........2 ounces,
Dog Fennel............1/4 ounce,
Poke Root.............1/8 ounce,
Yellow Dock Root........1 ounce,
Mandrake Root..........20 grains,
Buchu Leaves...........10 grains.

5. Reduce this by simmering (not boiling) to 1 quart. Strain while warm (strain through heavy cloth, see) and add 4 ounces of pure grain alcohol, to which there is added, or cut in same, 2 drams of Balsam of Tolu. The dose will be teaspoonful 4 times each day.
6. Make, then, for the next preparation, a salve that is combined from the juice of Plantain root and stem, with that of oil of butterfat. This apply to every abrasion on the body, and massage well in, to all the portions of body, where the lymphatic circulation may take same up; in arms, elbow pits, groin, under knees, and on the lower portion of the abdomen, massage this in. This is made in this manner:
7. To 6 ounces of the Plantain root and weed, add 6 ounces of water. Reduce by simmering to 1 OUNCE. Strain off. Then take 1 POUND of butter, without salt. Reduce to oil, see, straining off the milk from same. Add these two mixtures together. They separate, as will be seen, as it cools; yet should be mixed well in with each other when applied to the body, see?
8. Do that. We will bring the better conditions and relieve the body of these troubles.
9. Keep in the way of the diet as has been outlined for the body from time to time.
10. We are through for the present.
