1. EC: Yes, we have the body here. Now, the abnormal conditions as we find in this body have to do with the organs direct, and with the functioning of the other organs of the body, and with the circulation. Now, these are conditions as we find in this body, [29] we are speaking of.
2. The blood supply in the system, we find, is weak, and the resistive force, so far as building in the cellular force of the body, is below the normal, produced not only by the condition as the blood receives through the pulmonaries, but with improper eliminating through the liver, especially, and reflexly through the kidneys, it makes the condition harder to combat.
3. The number of red blood cells are good, considering the conditions as exist. The number of white are above the normal; though their resistive force wavers at times, they are equal to the condition. Again they give way under the influences of the condition in the hepatic circulation.
4. The nerve forces in the body are very good. The brain in its ability to produce coordination throughout the nervous systems, is very good. As for the resistive forces, with the impulse received through the sensory system and connected in the brain forces, the body does not meet the resistive forces through the nerves of the system as it is capable of doing, and through this force to give any relief, the body must be considered.
5. As for the organs themselves, we find from the mouth, the tonsil, where they are and belong, the larynx and the bronchials show the effect on the conditions as exist through the circulation. The lung forces themselves meet the conditions as exist in the body very good, for the inroads that have been made.
6. Through the digestive tract, we find, the stomach itself is very good at present. Much of the condition under which the body labors, at present, is produced by the condition through the stomach, and the condition and effect it produced in the liver, causing the congestion, the atrophy,

the condition arising in the lobes, and the effect this overtaxing has put on the liver and the kidneys.
7. To give the best condition for this body, under present conditions, and to assist to regain its equalibrium, and to meet the resistence in the body, would be to assist first through the mental attitude toward itself, and the relation it bears toward others. That will be through suggestion, you see.
8. For the physical condition we would give this: To one gallon grain alcohol put into a three gallon container charred and of wood, put in: Eucalyptus Oil.................1 ounce, Benzosol.......................1 ounce, Terebin (or Canadian Balsam)...1 ounce.
9. This would be so arranged that the gases that form in the space above, in the container, by being heated, would be made twice each day. The gases would be inhaled into the lungs through the mouth so we would reach the condition in the larynx, throat and bronchials.
10. For the condition in the intestinal tract, the liver, the kidneys, we would prepare this: To one gallon of water would add eight ounces of dried sage, reduced by simmering, NOT BOILING, to one quart. Strain. While warm add: eight ounces of cane sugar dissolved in sufficient hot water to dissolve it; fifteen grains ambergris, dissolved in one ounce of grain alcohol; six ounces of Gin (Gordon's Gin preferred); and three drams of cinnamon. This would be well mixed and shaken before the dose is taken, which would be a teaspoonful three times a day. Do that, and we will give relief to the body.
11. Keep the diet of those that give vitality to the body, but do not use meats if possible, see, for we must overcome the condition through the hepatics, that is of liver and kidneys, if we would meet resistence to cure the condition through the larynx and lungs and blood supplying forces.

12. (Q) Is the treatment that is now being given correct? (A) We are not overcoming the condition in the hepatic circulation with what he is receiving at present.
13. (Q) Is the functioning of the body being improved in any part? (A) The condition arises just as we have given. The system builds up for a time, then with conditions that arise, it breaks down. There are good times and bad times. Meet both conditions if we would give the better relief for this body.
14. We are through.
