TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here. We have had this before, you see. Now, we find that the general conditions in this body are not improved much from that we had before. There are some conditions that have become aggravated. There are others that show the reflex section from the properties as taken in the system to be assimilated by the system, but the ingredients as given have made an exaggerated condition in some portions of the body, notably through the hepatics circulation, both poles having become overtaxed. The ingredients as taken into the system have not had the effect as we would have on the system if they were prepared with the necessary, or with the ingredients as given in this underwritten as given here.
2. The stimulus to be given or used in this must be of the plain rectified character, rather than that as used, see.
3. We would prepare this, in this manner, for this body: Take one gallon of rain water, or distilled water. In this we would place eight ounces clary flower (or sage); reduce by simmering, NOT BOILING, to one quart. To this we would add, when strained and while warm:

   Cane sugar, dissolved in warm water,
just sufficient to dissolve it......4 ounces,

   Add this:

   Ambergris, dissolved in one ounce
plain alcohol......................15 grains,
Gin....................................6 ounces,
or (four ounces of grain alcohol,
with two drams Oil of Juniper)
Either. This may be used, if in
their perfect or rectified state:
Cinnamon...............................3 drams.

4. For the condition that we find through the colon and the upper intestines we would use high enema, warm water. At times use oil.
5. (Q) How often shall the oil be used?
   (A) Every four days until the system is in a condition to relieve the condition or poison present in the system: or alleviate.
6. (Q) How often shall the high enema be used?
   (A) That should be used every day, for the time being. It will not be good for the body to use the highest enema first. Use the tube so it will cleanse the whole of colon. For oil, use that of Usoline. Russian white oil.
7. (Q) Is it advisable to use epsom salts?
   (A) At times, for this body. It is not advisable if we can get the condition in the stomach and liver to eliminating in the stomach, and the accretions and secretions to throw out properly in the liver, for with this we only excite the condition through the upper intestine to create more of the mucous; but this had better be used than to allow the feces to remain in the system, for the absorption is a strain on the pneumogastrics.
8. (Q) Where in the alimentary canal is the cause of the headache?
   (A) Alimentary canal - At the beginning of the Peyers gland, their reaction to the pneumogastric.
9. (Q) What is causing the temperature?
   (A) The condition in the liver.
10. (Q) Is this chronic, acute or local?
    (A) Acute at present - that which produces this is chronic.
11. (Q) Why do the headaches come on at night?
    (A) From the natural inclination of the condition that produces same. With the body erect, and with the muscular forces of the intestines through the glands that become inflamed, and infectual when the body lies down, create more than when the body is in motion.
12. (Q) Is the trouble in the arms and jaws a reflex condition?
    (A) A reflex condition from the effect as produced on the pneumogastric, and its relation to the brachial plexus, which allows the poor elimination, and the reflex to the head, which comes in conjunction with the body of eliminating and supply forces of the head. This is reflex.
13. (Q) Is it advisable to take magnesia?
    (A) The condition may arise - we would use this when necessary - do not allow the system to become clogged. Control the body with the mind forces. Be regular with the body. Follow as we have given, and the assimilation and elimination will improve. But must be made with the properties as given, and not with others that will be as well. Follow this we have given.
14. (Q) When shall the enema be taken?
    (A) Of an evening, preferably, for the body should rest. We are through.
