TEXT

1. EC: Yes - Now, we find there are accentuations of those disturbances as have been given for this body. These are from more than one cause. The first would be the manner in which there has been the administration of the manipulation. The conditions as have been described have to do with both the cardiac end or the inflammation about the cardiac end of stomach, and also that of the pyloric end, or the duodenum. In the stimulations, there has been made such adjustments and such stimulation of nerve centers as to produce more inflammation in the pyloric, and thus causing regurgitation, and in sympathy the conditions in the cardiac become active, causing the stomach to ROLL, as it were, and an INCREASE in the amount of the hydrochloric as is produced there. The natural result from such conditions is to affect both the respiratory and the heart's action. Adding to this, also has been the character of the water - for, as given, this should be only as outlined, and not made stronger or weaker, nor other water than that given. This has, as we see, brought about the collapse with the body, and the vitality is naturally reduced by the constant strain as has been produced by the attempt to eject, emit from the system those conditions as have caused this regurgitation in stomach proper.
2. Now, to meet the needs at the present time, we would have no more treatments, first, by this physician. Rather from one in SYMPATHY with what is TRYING to be done, and HOW it is trying to be accomplished. Such an one as in Morrison, or in ANY that is wholly in sympathy. Green, or such an one.
3. Then we would begin with small amounts of water carrying limewater and cinnamon water - equal parts limewater and cinnamon water, with twice as much water as parts of limewater and cinnamon water, see? though this given in small quantities, until we allay this burning, this condition in the system.
4. Then, when the body is able to retain the least of food values, begin with small quantities of dry milk, or of milk that is made with those of such natures as dried, with the FOOD and stimulating values with same. Give same rather as medicine. Only given in small quantities two or three hours apart, see?
5. The water that is taken, to a glass FULL of water only a PINCH of the elm, see? or when the saffron in the next drink is taken, a teaspoonful of ordinary saffron tea in a glass of water, or one steeped - one to twenty - teaspoonful in the glass of water. Not necessary, to be sure, that the whole glass be taken at once, but enough to satisfy the thirst, see?
6. Then, food values - begin with milk that has egg beaten in same, with just spirits frumenti sufficient to COOK same, as this is beaten together - or champagne in small quantities. These will satisfy, stimulate, and aid the system to begin to gain a nearer normal equilibrium.
7. Then, for a food - we would begin first with MALTED milks, see? NOT large quantities, no. Small quantities - that is, after the stomach is settled and following out the dried kind as given first. These, do not conflict one with another - but follow these. This may be taken two or three times during the morning, see?
8. Then, for the NOON hour, those of beef juice. Not broth, not stew, but beef JUICE - and the juice only, taken as MEDICINAL properties.
9. To aid, then, these will add to the system. Junket, and such. Arrowroot may be taken in a form of jelly, or gelatin. These we would have at the lunch or noon hour.
10. In evenings, the milks may be taken again - small quantities, not overloading - and the stimulation OSTEOPATHICALLY would be not so much stimulation of the pyloric centers as to REDUCE those in the CARDIAC end and to the hypogastric plexus, see? These, as we find, would aid the body.
11. When these have been followed, we will find bettered conditions coming for this body. THEN follow nearer that as has been OUTLINED. Do this at the present time. We are through with this reading.
