1. EC: Yes, we have the body here. Now, we find rather a complication of conditions as bring about the unsatisfactory conditions as regarding the physical functioning of the body. In times back there came about those conditions in the physical forces which, in the attack upon the mucus and the tissue building organisms of the system, brought about something of the catarrhal effect or condition with the body. This has been well distributed through the system, in the manner that same has affected the body - affecting same through the lymphatic circulation. Hence the condition - in being separated, segregated, or in attempting to bring about clarification of the blood supply sufficiently to eliminate conditions - has, while settling same, only segregated the condition to other portions of the system. Hence we have that as exists in the exterior, or in the capillary circulation, with the condition existing in portions of the body, as is seen, and the effect as is brought about in the action of digestion and assimilation. Changing, as it were, from this, that, the other portion of the body being affected by the condition. This being, then, rather subtle in its nature, shows not only in the blood supply itself - though at TIMES the blood would be found nearly normal, at others we find this reacts in the capillary circulation, and the lymph glands then exhume, as it were, a secretion that brings about a rash, or a breaking out on the body. Again we find direct reflexes from same, affecting those ganglions that govern the sympathetic nervous system, and easily does the body take cold, cough resultant from same - weakness in the kidneys, across the small of the back, the liver, and in activity of the eliminations - these are VARIED conditions as come from the condition as we find that attacked the system. Body was seventeen or eighteen years old at that time.
2. Then, to meet the needs of the conditions as existent in the system at the present time, rather would we build upon

that vital force as is shown that exists in the system, adding to the vitality of the body so that the system receives the proper reaction throughout in the vibratory forces of its nervous system, its circulation, its reaction and retractions throughout the physical forces of the body. These, as we find, would be brought about to the nearer normal conditions in a SERIES of changes as will be NECESSARY to administer to the body as the various portions are set in order. First we would prepare as this for the body: This is in the form of a tonic, yet so active in its principles as to set that vital force NECESSARY for RESUSCITATION of the vitality and vitim (?) [elanvital?] of the system; replenishing in the blood supply, reacting in the assimilating and eliminating system and, as it were, setting the house in order for those conditions that will bring about the near normal condition for the body. Prepare then as this:
3. To 1/2 gallon of rain water, add: (Preferably will these be added in their original, or in the herb, state.)
Sarsaparilla Root.............1 ounce, Wild Cherry Bark..............1 ounce, Yellow Dock Root............1/2 ounce, Burdock Root................1/2 ounce, Black Snake Root............1/2 ounce, Elder Flower..................2 ounces, Dogfennel...................1/4 ounce, Prickly Ash Bark............1/4 ounce.
Reduce this by simmering (not boiling) to 1/2 the quantity (1 quart). Then add, after this is strained, the properties of this:
4. Cut 2 drams Balsam of Tolu in 3 ounces pure grain alcohol and add:
Sarsaparilla Compound.......1/4 ounce, Sassafras Oil................20 drops, Mullein Oil..................40 drops.
Shake solution together before the dose is taken, and take teaspoonful 4 times each day. Same be taken AFTER the meal. EAT the meal. Let the diet be principally those of vegetables, but those that grow BENEATH the ground - all tuberous; and nuts and such. Not too much fruit, though orange juice may be taken liberally. Little of meats save the juice of same.
5. When the whole quantity of these properties as given are

taken, then we would give further instructions for this body, [111], we are speaking of.
6. We are through for the present.
