TEXT

EC: The abnormal conditions that we find in this body have to do with the nervous system, the blood supplying forces in the system and tissue that is acted upon by nerve and blood forces, and produces the reflex condition, from these, in the body; while the body, in its physical sense, is very good - the deeper or internal forces in the building, or rebuilding forces in the body is weak.
Now, these are conditions as we find them in this body - [5704], we are speaking of.
The blood supplying force in the body we find is very good; there is in the lung forces, those of tissue, that carry in the blood some bacilli that makes a destruction of the blood forces, so that we don't have pure clarification of blood in the lungs proper; for the depth to which the air is taken into the lungs does not wholly oxidize the blood forces, as is carried through the body.
The number of red blood cells are sufficient; the lack of leukocyte force to combat or to produce perfect coagulation causes the cells of course, at times, even through the lungs and through the throat more than to the lungs - these are broken tissue and blood flow - it comes in the larynx many times, but leaving impurities through other portions of the body, especially across the back here, in some of the ligaments, carries those elements that produce pain or distress to the ligaments in the upper lumbar region and across the small of the back, and some across the shoulders at times, about the brachial plexus.
The nerve forces and conditions in the body, we find the brain forces are good; the action of the cerebro-spinal forces over the system in some of the centers are not so good, especially as we find a lesion about the brachial plexus, about the second lumbar plexus, and some reflexes to the solar plexus; hence, the conditions as we have reflexes from those through the digestive tract, through the conditions as carried by circulation and the nerve forces to these portions of the body.
Through the organs themselves, we find them functioning normally for the conditions, though not a normal functioning of part of the organs, especially as we see through the bronchials, through the larynx and to the upper portion of the lungs themselves. We have broken tissue at times we find through the lung forces themselves that the nervous condition has produced through the brachial plexus center, with reflexes to the arms and to the intercostal nerves or ligaments or portions of the body - the lungs don't vibrate sufficiently. We do not find that they have an organic condition, but the bacilli that is being carried is more of a malarial than a tubercular condition.
The digestive forces - we find at times most anything that the body eats becomes nauseating to the body - nervous reflexes - the liver, poor elimination.
The excretory functions through the liver are better than the secretive functions, the pancreas does not always throw off their perfect secretions to produce the sufficient elements necessary for intestinal digestion, hence we have trouble at times with the intestinal tract - with the bowels themselves in their functioning - an overcharge then at times to the kidneys; some irritation at times to the bladder from an excess of this; this is not so often but wearisome at times.
The body may be easily adjusted to its normal functioning by following specific lines or rules over itself, and by gaining control of the mental forces of the body itself. It would be well to follow a specific line of study, of self-control. And by taking to the system those properties that will assist the tissue and blood supply, to create sufficient warriors in the system to combat the conditions in ligament and tissue, and by taking into the system those properties that would give perfect elimination and assimilation, that the new blood forces may rebuild and combat the conditions in the body.
Take this: An equal mixture of Benzol oil [Benzosol?], eucalyptus oil and rectified oil of turp; heat so gasses are thrown off, from this once each day inhale through nostrils and mouth into the lungs and the bronchials.
Take into the system this: To one gallon of rain water add eight ounces of sage, reduce by simmering to one quart; while warm, after being strained, add four ounces of cane sugar; dissolve in warm water, sufficient water to dissolve it, six ounces of gin or alcohol with juniper berry dissolved in it, 15 grains of ambergris, dissolve in one ounce of grain alcohol two drams of balsam of tolu and 15 grains of cinnamon, preferably in the stick.
A dose of this would be a tablespoonful half an hour before each meal. Let the diet be of this nature, not of meats, say, fish or wild game, if any meant [meats?] are taken.
Do this for this body, [5704].
(Q) What causes the scab formation on this body's forehead?
(A) Poor elimination.
(Q) What causes the hemorrhage of this body from the bowels?
(A) The condition we have just given through the intestinal tract, where the eliminating forces produce or carry to these portions of the bowels, or through the hepatic circulation. That produces this condition in the body. They are not of a malignant nature, but from the condition as we have given here in the intestinal tract - the poor excretory forces as shown by the liver it becomes strained through these forces; then as we have given if we want to eliminate we want to create new blood forces, through the lungs, the larynx and through the digestive tract for proper elimination through the liver and kidneys, with the proper medicinal properties as given.
