1. EC: Yes, we have this body here, you see. Now we find that the condition that produces the pains through the eyes, the condition that exists through the intestinal tract causing indigestion and constipation and palpitation at times of the heart, are produced from one and the same trouble; while that which produces the pain through the breast comes from a different center, though may be a reflex action of a constitutional condition being made specific, but that may be removed, see.
2. Now these are conditions as we find them in this body here, Mrs. [81], we are speaking of:
3. The blood in its circulation shows the effect that is produced on the system by the condition existing through the hepatic circulation, forcing at times the blood to carry poisons in the system that, finding lodgment in the ganglia governing a specific organ, proceed to give the trouble to that organ. Such we find in this condition in the eyes in its functioning at times. Now the vibration of any sensory organ in its functioning is controlled sympathetically, that is, through the sympathetic nervous system by the general condition as produced through the circulation, as we see when the body of an individual (now we are speaking of mankind as a whole, and this body is specific evidence of this as we are giving it, see) - when a body is conscious of a condition, whether true or untrue, and it is accepted through the hearing, seeing, tasting, smelling or feeling it has the effect to the system according to the condition of the system at that time, see? So the reaction comes to the organ in proportion to the general condition of the body at the time, as in this case, with the system absorbing poisons from the intestinal tract through auto-intoxication. When the body uses the eyes to receive impressions, the reaction comes to those nerve centers as governed by that portion of the sensory organism. Hence the gradual building into the system of that condition that at times produces pains through the back portion of the eye when under a strain, see; brought to the body, this condition is, by the condition through the hepatic circulation and intestinal

tract and its action over the nervous system.
4. The condition as found through the intestinal tract: Beginning from the stomach, or the beginning of digestion, we would begin first with the glands that secrete the saliva in the mouth here, preparing food for the body. These do not secrete as sufficiently as they should; hence it takes more of the pepsin condition to be turned into lactic fluids and secretions when it is taken into the stomach. Hence that is how that a very strong alkaline will assist this body when it has an overtaxed stomach or seems that it is suffering from indigestion or dyspepsia, as it was commonly called, foods then entering into the upper digestive forces, that is, into the small intestinal tract to be enacted on by the secretions from the pancreas, from the liver and from the functioning organs forming the digestive forces for the new blood in the body. They enter in such a state that we have overtaxed the liver in its functioning, hence we find the whole mucus secreting glands for the intestinal tract have become less, and if there is used means to excite the secretions of these glands, nausea immediately comes to this body. And the condition after having been relieved, and the system throws out the forces from its circulation necessary to care for the condition, the body soon suffers again from the same conditions, for the absorption of the poisons from the intestinal forces has only been alleviated and not remedied. Hence the condition returns as the foods are used by the system and pass into the colon, for the lower intestinal digestion here. We find the system absorbs the poisons to the body itself so the effect then passes through the emunctory glands of the trunk portion of the body and to the action of the solar plexus centers, reflexly. Then we find the action to the heart forces causing this condition of a full, a fluttering pulsation, as it were, being of the incorrect vibrations as we have seen given to the body of all of the action of the sensory organism. Hence from outside influence this body, Mrs. [81], we are speaking of, is considered super-sensitive over that which comes under her observation, and we see the relief of this in this condition, see? The reaction from the condition in the hepatics is also expressed through the kidneys and the excretory functioning of these; that is, inflammation at times through the bladder and this portion of the body.
5. The condition as we find in this body that produces the pains to the breast comes from the mammary glands' gathering of the same elements from the blood and nerve energy in the system. With the removal of the cause, the pains will disappear gradually, as they became noticeable to this

system.
6. This condition of auto-intoxication, also, produces the headaches that this body experiences at times, and it is not from the eye that this is produced, but from the pressure on the nerve centers through the trunk portion of the body, and their reaction through the solar plexus to the ganglia governing the flow of blood and nerve matters to the brain. Correcting one we relieve the condition throughout.
7. To give the perfect relief to this body, we would first give this body an intestinal bath, that is, of a very high enema, gradually using it higher and higher in the intestinal tract until the whole length of the colon is washed by pure water. Then, after this has been accomplished, which will take from three to four weeks, for we did not mean to be over-severe in this, for in all ways we would defeat the purpose intended, but after this is accomplished, take this into the system:
8. To eight ounces of sage, dried, add two quarts of distilled or rain water, simmer with the cover on the kettle used (not boiled), until reduced to one quart. Strain, then add four ounces of cane sugar dissolved in hot water, add six ounces of gin and fifteen grains of Ambergris dissolved in one ounce of alcohol with two drams of Balsam of Tolu. The dose would be a teaspoonful, half hour before each meal.
9. The exercise should be that to expand the brachial plexus centers, especially, to produce the perfect elimination of the centers causing the pains to the breast, that is, with this exercise:
10. Hands in front, arms extended at a level, back and forth, back and forth, that is, making the hands touch at the front and back. Do as this, only this exercise of specific nature. Take that night and morning. Only for the conditions of this body.
11. To worry about the sister, with the body caring, that is, for the sister, for her failing health, there needs be no worry along this line.
12. Do this.
13. We are through.
