1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [203]. Now, we find, while general physical forces of the body are very good in many respects, there are disturbing factors that were there corrections for same at the present time this would prevent greater disturbances later on in the physical forces of this body, [203].

2. The disturbances, as we find, are with the assimilating forces of the body; there becoming an unbalanced condition in the gastric forces of the body, until there is produced within the intestines and stomach proper those forces that, acting with the system, have increased in their efforts in the active principle with digestion, until they overpower the system. Hence make for intestinal WORMS that are HINDERING the system in its activity, and produce nausea, debilitation, headaches, and must eventually - unless these are removed from the system - bring about a condition that, WITH the removal of same, will have made the system susceptible to an easy disturbance in the digestive forces and an appendicial disturbance result that would be harmful to the better forces of the body.

3. We would, to remove same, take - for the body - those forces as will CLEANSE the system, at the same time producing for the functioning organs of the body that vibratory force in their functioning, the organs themselves - the liver, the hepatic circulation, the kidneys, the intestinal system proper; these having that stimuli to increase the characterization of the circulatory forces of the body and to cause also those activities in the plasm of the blood supply itself as to bring resuscitation to the forces of the walls of the stomach, duodenum, and intestines - that is necessary under the distress as has been produced.

4. Take, then, 3 doses - as would be prepared as this, and this in each dose:

Podophyllin........................1/4 grain,

203-1 Page 2

Calomel............................1/4 grain, Senna..............................1/2 grain, Santonin...........................1/4 grain.

These, preferably, should be taken one day apart. Let the body rest, or not so active in its exercises during the period.

5. FOLLOWING same - that is, after the 3 days, or doses - which would require, as seen, 6 days - there should be given broken doses of Castoria, to sweeten and to cleanse the whole of the intestinal tract. Preferably, this would be given half a teaspoonful every hour until almost the whole of the 900 drops are taken. Do that. Ready for questions.

6. (Q) What causes nervousness? (A) Something that's taxing the system as this is bound to make for nervousness! It would be well, too, in the assimilating of the properties - best after the purgatives are taken - to have manipulations for 5 to 6 adjustments or treatments osteopathically, as to quiet the whole nervous system. THIS the cause of the nervousness - but CENTRALIZING, to be sure, in especially those organs of the lower hepatic circulation.

7. (Q) Is there anything wrong with his spine? (A) No; only those centers that are accentuated in activity by the over nerve strain from organic functioning being disturbed.

8. (Q) What diet? (A) Beware of sweets for some time. Preferably would be as this: Mornings - gruels, especially with citrus fruit juices. Noon - preferably soups, or salads with soups that are NOT too greasy. Evenings - little portion of very crisp bacon, with eggs - especially the yolk, not much of the white - and a VEGETABLE diet well balanced between those that grow above and below the ground.

Do this, as we have outlined, and we will correct the condition and prevent a good deal of trouble later on; for soon there must become the irritation to the nose, the easy tendency to take cold, the higher circulation through the central portion will produce irritation in the soft tissue in nose and in the face - as of the antrum and those portions of system - by the drainage of the blood supply from those portions of the body, increasing nervousness, and - as given - both the lower portion of the digestive system and the taxation to the nervous forces to the head, neck and shoulders.

Do that, and we will bring corrections for this body, [203].
