TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [5668]. Now, we find there are conditions as cause distress. These, as we find, have most to do with the glands of the body, and the effect as is produced in various portions of the system, and especially in the present in extremities. In the reactions as are brought through this, is the tendency to cause for the system the tautness of the muscular - or the SINEW of the muscular forces in the body. These, to be sure, also produce - with the changing in the vibrations as are created in the blood supply, through the assimilations in the system - distresses functionally of various organs, as are seen; also affecting sympathetically those of the nerve system. In the general debilitation of the system in this respect, these - are they allowed to REMAIN - may become the constitutional condition of the body, or almost the NORMAL reaction; for once the whole system is turned in this direction there must come those of the arthritic reaction, or the portions themselves be drawn BY the reaction.
2. Then, were we to bring about the bettered conditions, as we would find, in this system - there must be rather that of a course, or series, of changes brought about for the body.
3. We would begin, then, in the first, with the taking of that which WILL release oxygen in the system, and we would take then internally - each day - one-eighth grain of the medicated ash. Following same, every OTHER day, there should be taken those of the Infra red treatments. This should be given especially on the cerebro-spinal centers, opposite - or in the solar plexus region, see?
4. Let the diets be those that carry more of the alkalin reaction and that are rich in the iodines of the system, with the salts of fruits or vegetables that will add the SALINES that are NECESSARY in the bone and orthopedic effects of the body. Lime, calcium - THESE are necessary. This, of course, can be OVER done - but this we would do first, for at least three to four weeks, and then we would change to those surroundings and conditions where these may be the closer followed out; for it will be found necessary that the metabolism be kept, that the potash content be watched closely in the system, that there is the proper coordination in the hepatic circulation, that the liver and the kidneys be kept in a normal way, one to another, in their activity - and it will be found that PORTIONS of the treatment must be of the X-ray nature.
5. Do this, then, for THREE weeks. Then we would give the changes, will the body be UNDER that SUPERVISION where the suggestions MAY be followed. Ready for questions.
6. The ash taken each day, preferably during the MIDDLE of the day, see? Then every OTHER day take the INFRA red - not the violet ray, but the INFRA RED; BEGINNING with twenty minutes, increasing to at least twenty-five to thirty minutes. Let the reflector be at least, in the beginning, twenty-eight to thirty-eight inches from body.
7. (Q) What should be the dosage of the medicated ash?
   (A) As given, one-eighth grain.
8. We are through for the present.
