TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body, [5634]. Now we find, while there are MANY conditions as disturb the body, these are not to the extent as yet as to cause such inconvenience as the body would be called HELPLESS, though many of the conditions described would sound very much like it!
2. In the conditions as we find, those that are to be most mindful of, is that effect as is created in the blood supply, as related to its relation to the organs and as to the heart's action.
3. These, then, are conditions as we find them with this body, [5634], we are speaking of:
4. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, the blood shows the effect of the pressure as is created in the system through the conditions existent in liver, digestive system, as WELL as in the sinew of the muscular forces, or the joints in the system. These, as we find, are products, not causes, of the disturbances.
5. IN THE NERVE SYSTEMS, here again we find tautnesses along the whole of the cerebro-spinal system, so that the body at times is very tense; headaches occasionally; feet ache at times; again bearing down pains, or SHOOTING pains through the abdomen and through the sides - especially the right side. These, again we find, are reflexes of conditions as exist with the system.
6. IN THE FUNCTIONING OF THE ORGANS, in the brain forces good.
7. In the sensory system, many of these suffer from the strain in the sympathetic and cerebro-spinal, or from PRESSURES produced in the centers that receive impulses from the central sympathetic and cerebro-spinal, causing accentuations - at other times irritations, as to eyes, as to the taste, as to the FEELINGS over the system; cold, clammy; at times trembly. These, as we see, are effects of conditions, not causes.
8. In the heart's action we find that of which the body should be MOST warned, as for the heaviness as exists in system.
9. The digestive system, however, is rather the seat or the cause of the conditions, for there has existed in times back a condition in the 8th and 9th dorsal wherein the lower portion of the stomach proper, in its activity, and the pancreas, have suffered from the pressure created there, and the sluggishness to circulation, the inability of the cooperation of eliminations in system, are caused by these pressures, and the other conditions as we find in organic forces, and in the blood and nerve, are the results of same.
10. Taken properly, taken soon, these may be eliminated; yet these may be in part, unless eliminated properly and wholly from the system, accentuated - and left in various forms of conditions in system, becoming accentuated in any one portion of the body - would cause that portion to set up, as it were, a respondent condition to the whole of that as is DISTURBING at present.
11. Then, to meet the needs of the conditions of this body, first we would prepare the system in such a way and manner that the forces as necessary to bring about the bettered conditions for the body may have that to build upon. Then, we would add at this time, first, these properties to the system, to change the effect of the vibratory forces of that disturbing the body. Then we may go about to make such changes and such corrections as will aid the body to come to a near NORMAL reaction, and normal activity of this body. Prepare then, first, this:
12. To 8 ounces of distilled water, add: 3 ounces of ragweed, or ambrosia weed - preferably dried.
13. Reduce by simmering, not boiling, to 1/2 the quantity. Strain while warm and add:

    Simple Syrup........................2 ounces,
Compound Syrup of Sarsaparilla....1/2 ounce,
Tincture of Stillingia............1/4 ounce,
Oil of Sassafras...................40 minims,
Tincture of Capsici.................2 minims.

    Cut 1 dram of Balsam of Tolu in 2 ounces of 85% alcohol and add to solution.
14. Shake solution together before the dose is taken. Let the dose be half a teaspoonful 3 times each day.
15. When this has been taken for 5 days - not before, and don't wait later - begin with the correction of those existent conditions in the central portion of the cerebrospinal system, especially that region from 4th dorsal to the end of the spine. CORRECTIONS being made ONCE each week. The GENERAL massage given once alone, and once with the correction, see?
16. Then, when this has been taken sufficient length for the whole quantity of medicinal properties to be given, we will give those changes necessary and the progress as is made. Ready for questions.
17. (Q) Should the medicine be taken before or after meals?
    (A) After meals. With the diet - be mindful that no fats - either butter or greases - are taken. Most others may be taken. No fats. No butters. Nothing fried in oils or grease. We are through for the present.
