TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here. Now, we find this body is very good throughout. There are the forerunners of some conditions in the system that need correction for the better efficiency of the body farther along. There are some conditions through the circulation, through the vitality, through the forces that give to the propagation of rebuilding forces, in the system, that need correction. Now, these are the conditions that we find in this body at the present time.
2. In the blood supply of the system, we find, it tends to be below the normal efficiency in its vital forces, not carrying the destructive bacilli of organic forces, but that that gives the cold, low, hepatic circulation, affecting both the kidneys and the liver in some conditions.
3. We find through the nerve forces, the body tends to be in a strain from low vital forces, especially to the sympathetic nervous forces and the sensory system, with its branches to the sympathetic, show in the functioning of their organs the reflex of nervous forces. As such, we have the most expression of it in the eyes or speech, or throat and vocal forces.
4. The conditions of the organs themselves, we find:
5. The lung forces show the condition of the blood, and not sufficient carbon is carried to the system - not an organic condition at present, but that of a circulation that would be easily induced with forces that would become destructive forces.
6. Through the digestive tract we find the body fairly good, until we reach the reaction of intestinal digestion, or that as reached, or controlled by, the hepatic circulation. The effect is to the organs of the hepatics, and of the organs of the pelvis, and the generatory forces.
7. We find that the vital forces are low, on account of the inability of the vital forces necessary to rebuild in the system.
8. The body only needs to add those forces necessary to make the equilibrium between the vital power of the circulation, and emunctory forces that incentive necessary to make, or rebuild, the cellular forces in the body, so that we make resistance, rather than allowing the system to burn out - as it is in a close state of doing now.
9. We would take into the system, this:

   Gum Camphor............20 grains,
Sulphate of Morphia.....1 grain,
Muriated Ammonia.......30 grains.

   This would be well mixed, and made into pellets, not capsules. Twenty pellets. One would be taken each evening.
10. The body should make for itself specific exercises to overcome the weakness to different portions of the body - That is exercise the lungs, throat, shoulders, neck, and exercise for the lower part or trunk portion of the body for the pelvic organs and their functioning. Let these be each day, of a specific nature, that he would outline for himself.
11. (Q) What should be the diet for this body?
    (A) Those that carry as much protein as possible; those that carry carbon; not so much meat, but high protein of other matter, so that we would have fuel added for the system.
    Keep the intestinal tract open. Keep the liver open.
    Do not let an overcharge come to the kidneys, nor of the liver, in acting, for there is a predisposition of engorging or softening of the kidneys.
    These give to the body the vital forces, with the medicinal properties and exercise, necessary to keep a proper elimination and assimilation.
12. (Q) What is the cause of the low hepatic circulation?
    (A) Low vitality in the system. The absorption of that which produces, or takes from, the vital constituents of the blood, causes low, cold circulation. This is all functional at present. Do not let it become organic or chronic, see.
13. (Q) How long should this treatment be taken?
    (A) Until the whole quantity is taken - twenty days. The exercise is to be kept up longer. If we have low vitality take this over again. This will correct it for the present, then the body must keep that way.
14. (Q) What kind of medicine is needed to keep the intestinal tract clear?
    (A) Foods and exercise. These, with the medicinal properties as given. The exercise and foods will keep the intestinal tract clear. Do as we have given, if we would keep this body for its best and highest efficiency. We are through.
