1. EC: Yes, we have the body here. Now, while we find there are many conditions in the physical forces of the body that are involved in this condition of the specific nature that is of the abnormal nature, there are many conditions that are good, that are nearer normal that would be found in most bodies. Hence the deceptive influence as is seen in the existent condition and the effect as is produced in the body. As is seen, from the nature of the condition, the elimination and the assimilation, the katabolism and the metabolism of the system, in the full manner, are involved in the condition.
2. These, then, are the conditions as we find them in this body, [236], we are speaking of. First:
3. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, in this we see the signs of that existent conditions in various portions of the elimination and assimilation, and how the blood is involved in the condition by that as is produced in the capillary circulation, bringing into the condition the effect of those portions that are left in the elimination that should be eliminated or left in SYSTEM that should be eliminated, and the effect this, as pigment, produces in the lymph in the capillaries, and hence in the outer portion of the skin proper, forming first in the inner skin, or in the network of the capillary or basic forces in the cuticle. Then becoming by exposure, separated from the regular portion of body surrounding same. Hence appearing in splotch or blemish to the outer portion of the skin. This in its beginning, then, is the effect of an unbalanced elimination, as is effected in the katabolism of the system - that is, as to how the system affects the condition by that as is left in the system through the improper assimilation by that left in the system, see? that is, as properties that become portions of the rebuilding system, through blood supply, in its cells, pick up in the ducts, in the intestinal tract, or in chyle, or in lacteal separation, properties that should

have been eliminated or taken up by bile ducts, and by the assimilation as is produced from the proper metabolism between the poles (liver and kidneys), the condition becoming acute, leaves those particles in the blood stream that, finding their way into the lymphatic circulation, present this effect in the outer portion of the body. While many of the functioning systems are not involved in the condition, the ducts of the assimilation and those of the elimination in the internal circulation ARE involved, and show the effects of same in that produced in the capillary circulation, see?
4. As to the nerve system, only that as is effective through the condition as reflex from an improper metabolism (that is, balance) in the system is the general nerve system affected, yet it makes a constant drain, through dread, and through existent conditions, of that as is produced by uncomely conditions, though not unsightly in many respects.
5. In the general system, or organs of the body, these are very good. Brain forces exceptionally good, and might be turned into those channels wherein this body would bring much good for many peoples, especially in that line of the scribe.
6. In the general condition, then, to be met, this being deep-seated, this being of rather the hidden nature, necessarily will require close, careful, attention, care, in diet, in producing a perfect elimination and assimilation, and of adding those properties to the system that will bring a perfect correction of existent condition in liver, kidneys, and lacteal ducts. These would be found in this:
7. First prepare this:
8. To 1/2 gallon of distilled water, add 8 ounces green ragweed. Reduce this by simmering (not boiling), using only the leaf of same, see? to 1/2 the quantity. Let this cool, see? after strained through heavy cloth. Then add to 8 ounces of distilled water 4 ounces of the bark of Sassafras Root. Reduce this to 1/2 the quantity, by simmering not boiling. Then add to this Elixir of Calysaya 1/2 ounce. Heat all the solutions now and add together while warm, mixing with same 2 ounces of grain alcohol, with 2 drams Balsam of Tolu cut in same.
9. The dose will be teaspoonful before each meal, but don't eat more than two meals in each day, see? for the body needs that rest in the digestive system - eat morning meal and evening meal - no noon meal. Beware of salads carrying, or any properties carrying acid, as vinegar, or of such nature, see? Eat those of the GREEN vegetables as much as possible.

10. Keep the intestinal tract open by using any Alkaline solution, such as Petrolager, or as Oil AND Petrolager, and by using high enemas.
11. When the full quantity as given has been taken, then we would give those properties necessary for the continuation of the eliminating this condition in this body. Do that.
12. We are through for the present.
