1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [341]; this we have had before.
2. There are many changes in the system since last we had same here. Yet there ARE the effects in the system of disturbances that have been seen here before, some time back; though there are more infectious forces from the poisons and localization of same in the disturbance between the eliminating systems of the body.
3. The localizations arise as we find from congestion from cold, and the infectious reactions that arise from same through a disturbed circulation and poor elimination and lack of coordination between eliminating systems, as has been indicated in times back.
4. There are those tendencies for accumulations in the colon and through the alimentary canal, and these form for that as oft produces a disturbance through the stomach itself, producing a very bad condition at times of halitosis, at other times producing caking through the colon area, as well as upsetting in the system; the effect becoming as irritations to the lymph and the emunctory circulation in the disturbance to the nerve system and a rash, an itch that comes over portions of the body - as at times on the lower limbs and the groin area especially, under the armpits and on the side. These are effects, the causes being a deeper condition as indicated in the circulatory system.
5. Congestions as are indicated from the cold and infection from the poor circulation in the sinus, in the nasal passages, in the throat, all arise from and are contributory causes to cold and congestion from the poor circulation.
6. In meeting then the needs of the conditions, we would find, we would first take a course, as it were - this being the slower way but the much better way. For the seat of the trouble and the causes may be eliminated. But do not as before, when the first effects are relieved, leave it off -
341-43 Page 2
but carry on until the causes are also eliminated AND coordination is set up in the eliminating systems.
7. For with the clogging of the colon and the alimentary canal, even through the jejunum and portions of the stomach, this disturbs the circulation - and the poisons that should be carried off by the kidneys and the activity of the upper portion of the hepatic circulation become thrown off in the effluvia through the respiratory and to the perspiratory circulation, or lymph and emunctory. And these produce those disturbances in the cuticle and the epidermis and through those portions of the body where there is the disturbance. And the activities then grow hard upon even the glandular system, especially the thyroid circulation.
8. Begin first as with these; this in each capsule, and make three: Podophyllum................1/4 grain, Leptandrin.................1/2 grain, Sanguinaria................1/2 grain, Cascara Sagrada............1/2 grain.
9. These are to be taken at least twenty-four hours apart, see?
10. May be necessary, and would be more effective if after eight hours - after they are taken - a high enema is taken. This a saline solution in the first, a saline and soda solution in the second, and these the temperature of the body; not cold, not hot - or ninety-eight degrees. These should be effective in assisting in the eliminations.
11. Then when these have acted upon the body, after three to four days begin with Zilatone - two tablets an hour and a half after the morning meal, two tablets an hour and a half after the noon meal, two tablets an hour and a half after the evening meal.
12. The next morning take, in hot water, a tablespoonful of Fleet's Phospho-Soda. Lie upon the right side, so that this will work through, with a prop under the gall duct area, so this will work through the gall duct itself, or cause the activity of the hot Phospho to act upon the liver, the spleen, the pancreas together - and DRAIN the system.
13. Take during the whole period of these activities, about every third day a good GENERAL osteopathic treatment, with SPECIFIC attention to the head, the neck, the sinus, the vagus center and the LUMBAR center or lumbar axis also.
14. This as we find, with the proper precautions as to an alkalin diet, keeping a regular balance in same, should remove the causes as well as the effects of the disturbance with this body.
15. First the Podophyllum and combinations. Then after
341-43 Page 3
three to four days the draining of the gall duct. But don't overeat of sweets soon after, or else we will have a drain again upon the system or the formation of that as will create a disturbance of the same nature.
16. Have the manipulations and carry out all of these.
17. The use of Castoria as a flushing is well after any of these are taken, for this will settle the system and set the digestive organs in their proper relationships one to another, better than other laxatives or cathartics.
18. Ready for questions.
19. (Q) Until cause has been removed, what local application would relieve the pain in the sinus? (A) Heat and the combinations of the oils as indicated in Mutton Suet, Spirits of Turpentine, Spirits of Camphor, and Compound Tincture of Benzoin. These remove congestion if heat is applied. For each carries with same activities upon the mucous membranes to aid in relieving, through a penetration, healing and soothing effect. But the beginning of the removal of the effects will remove the pain also. The first thorough activity of the Podophyllum - if there are the precautions, not out in the cold, not getting the feet wet or the like that will simply add congestion and cold - this will relieve the condition. Keep the feet warm and out of the night air.
