1. EC: Now, we find there are a great many differences in the conditions in this body at the present time than that as we had here before. We have conditions that have been produced by the reaction of properties taken in the system to assist the body, with other properties taken in the body that were not a portion of the functioning system at the time, and these acting in conjunction with these produce a chemical change in the system that has become irritating in portions of the body, producing then a physical condition, as well as a condition that has become a taxing through the nerve forces as come in conjunction with these physical conditions as created by this reaction created in system. This then produces rather the complex condition and is of a nature that gives a good deal of distress to the system, yet is not one that may not be relieved, with the present conditions applied in a correct manner with that necessary to create an equilibrium in the system necessary to overcome and create the correct incentives through the body.
2. Now, these are conditions as we find them in this body, [538], and the condition given with that producing same at the present time, without relation to pre-existing conditions save as affecting the body at the present time, with those conditions producing same.
3. In the blood supply, we find these conditions at the present time: the blood itself being and is carrying many properties that should be eliminated in the system other than as being eliminated at the present time, produced first by properties of the potash nature taken in system to produce a nerve relaxing and coming in contact with conditions in system, and properties as taken in system as foods working in opposition to each other affect the kidneys and the liver in their eliminating functioning. Also with the age [beginning of menopause?] and the condition existing in the pelvic organs, in that known as the menstrual periods being and acting under the strain of the condition, produces a taxing in eliminating centers, especially in blood supply gives the overcharges to be eliminated. These conditions
538-8 Page 2
working in conjunction then produce in various portions of the body the rash or eliminating through capillary circulation poisons that should be carried through dross either in intestinal tract or through the emunctories and eliminated through the urine. This is better that the condition exists externally than that the organs should become defective and produce the condition on the organs, kidneys, liver [She died 4/1/45 of carcinoma of liver.], stomach or lungs, than the condition be there and produce the same effects internally as shown externally; yet conditions may be turned so that proper elimination may be created in the system and in the correct manner remove these drosses and dregs from system, without the system becoming so distressing and so terrifying to the capillaries and external nerve system. This we find also is controlled, as given, great deal by nerve plexus and centers, for the body, as has been given, is of the neurotic [See 538-55, etc.] temperament or tendency.
4. In the nerve system, the condition at present we find many centers involved in conditions, yet all very much better under the control of the mental forces of body, and of the physical functioning of organs, than when we had the condition before.
5. In the functioning of organs:
6. Brain forces very good. Needs to keep the subjugation of mental forces under that control of the soul and spirit forces necessary to keep an equilibrium in the sympathetic nerve system. The plexuses in the solar plexus, the secondary cardiac plexus, the second lumbar plexus show how strain is on system and how the functioning through these, the sudden appearance or the attempt of the nerve system to assist circulation to eliminate, and those portions that come closest to the emunctory circulation suffer first, as this condition under arms, in and about the pelvic organs and the pubes, especially forearms and the portions where lymphatic is closest to the capillary circulation. Heat or cold, either excitement or depression, brings to the sympathetic system the sudden reaction and the best forces are exercised through the control of the mental attributes of the physical. In the nose, nostril, the condition exists as we have had before. The effects in the nerve reaction not so prominent as has been in times back, due to circulation and system in nerve forces attempting to make correct adjustments. Lungs much better than we have had before. Stomach and upper portion of digestion not good, yet better than before. The secretions as given in system from a torpid liver, a high hepatic circulation, though a
538-8 Page 3
cold one and the hypogastric in its depression through circulation in blood and in nerve ganglion both show the contraction and the lack of proper secretions being produced in system. Then, in lower digestion, we find still more effects as of this same condition as created through the hypogastric plexus and the effect produced on the hepatic circulation. Kidneys in much better condition than when we had them before.
7. Then to bring the relief to this body, we must bring those conditions to bear and the body must be persistent and consistent with the conditions to be met with the treatment accorded same. For the condition we would keep properties as being taken; that of the sulphur and cream of tartar, or phosphates in that form, adding charcoal and the secretions forming as we would find in Epsom Salts in a consistent form. In these quantities take one charcoal tablet each day, preferably in evening. Take two small doses of Epsom Salts each day, one morning, one evening. The condition as is found in vagina and in the pubes, [vaginitis & pruritis vulvae] where the irritation from discharge [leukorrhea], and from nerve condition, we would use the spiral douches, the solution as would be given in Permanganate of Potash, with equal small quantities of Myrrh. Also using sitz-baths every second day, as this: Into a gallon and a half of very warm water, add 5 drops Tincture of Myrrh, 10 grains Balsam of Tolu. Sit over this in a basin and expose parts where itching is so terrifying to the body. For the douches, use Permanganate just sufficient that the water may show the color - just a few drops. The Myrrh, one to two minims, using this once each day. This does not interfere with other as is used. For the condition on the cuticle, only keep such properties as will prevent the body from becoming too irritated, such as dusted with Stearate of Zinc with the Balsam, and keep the bowels acting properly. Keep from the diet of properties that excite too much of the functioning of the organs in the form of astringents. That is, not too much acids in any form, until an equalization is created.
8. Do that. We will bring the normal conditions to this body, [538].
9. (Q) Should the violet ray treatment be continued? (A) This strengthens any vibration and is good for the nerve system, when alcohols in no form are taken. Detrimental when used or in or on any portion of the body. The electrode for the vagina is very good, and when taken should be left in for several minutes. There should be no exciting of the genital organs [sexually, etc.?], until the system has at least reached its equilibrium, in any manner

or form.
