1. EC: Yes, we have the body, [340] - this we have had before. Now, we find there are the accentuations of some disorders that have existed here before in the system, produced by indiscretion, or the taking of properties as not outlined or given to take with those of the gastric forces of the system, which the nature of was to purge those very portions in the system in the colon, and especially the lower colon, where there has been the attempt to use that as acted rather as the astringent than the laxative, or laxity in the muscular forces in this portion of the system. There is in this condition one fact, that as the medical fraternity - or the world at large - would take note of would be well for them to learn! There are in the elements of the plant and vegetable kingdom those forces as respond to elements within the human body, or vibration; for man is of all that was made, yet to be master over all. Hence there are things in plant, vegetable and mineral kingdom, that may add to those vibrations within the system that will meet the needs of that lacking or overtaxing the system in a direction. In this there has been outlined that as should be used for the body. Now to change these to those of the mineral kingdom, combined with those of the vegetable kingdom that made for a supplying of some of those nerve plexus in the colon area, that acted opposite to those things, then the results as we find.
2. In meeting the needs in the present, a little time, a little precaution, and a rather returning to those things as has been outlined for the system - see? There may be used in an ointment, or an application for those folds in the lower portion of the colon and arse [orifice, anus?] [for hemorrhoids] itself, in that portion of the body, that as would be combined in as this:
3. Take the oil of butterfat (fresh butter, not that that's
340-17 Page 2
been salted), and reduce same so that there is no water in same, or milk - see? Take one-half ounce of this, see? To this add one-quarter ounce of Burton's powdered tobacco or snuff. Boil this together, or heat together, so that the tobacco is cooked. To this add four drops of Tincture of Iodine and one drop of Oil of Turp (not turpentine, but Oil of Turp, or Canadian Balsam). Use this as an ointment, mixed thoroughly together while hot - then let congeal, see? [Another simple formula for that called TIM?]
4. In the matter of the diet, keep rather with those close in that as has been outlined. For the present it may be changed, in the immediate day, to those of the yolk of egg with milk toast, or dry toast - and rest easy. These will be the better.
5. Ready for questions.
6. (Q) What causes the trembling feeling in stomach? (A) Hasn't it just been explained, as to how or to why the accentuation of the nerve forces in the plexus, through that as has been taken - which has acted as an overtaxing of the nerves in this direction, and produces this trembling sensation? They are just opposite one to another, see?
7. (Q) How would it be best for this body to increase blood supply? (A) By eating!
8. (Q) What should the body eat to increase blood supply? (A) Liver, blood pudding, those of pig knuckle, souse, egg (yolk of same), milk, dry milk, and the like. Plenty of prunes or the like, if made with the proper things - Don't eat too much sugars, but those that will add, without producing any strain or astringents in system - see?
9. That is all the questions regarding this body.
