1. EC: Yes, we have the body here. We have had this before, you see. We have never carried out the conditions for this body, else, we would not have the conditions now as existing in the system, this taxation, this trouble we have, the pains through the intestinal tract, produced by the taxation, the condition and the age of the body. The blood supplying forces and conditions, as we have given.

2. We would, for this body at the present time, take this into the system:

3. To one gallon of rain water, add:

Sarsaparilla Root..................2 ounces, Yellow Dock Root...................2 ounces, Dogwood Bark.......................2 ounces, Prickly Ash Bark...................2 ounces, Mandrake Root.....................15 grains, Buchu Leaves......................20 grains.

Reduce by simmering, not boiling, to one quart, strain, while warm, add three (3) drams of Balsam of Tolu cut in six (6) ounces of grain alcohol. The dose will be dessertspoonful four times each day, half an hour before meals.

4. For the rest of the body at night, in the evening just before retiring take the gentle massage, either by hand or the electric vibrator with the body lying prone, all over the portion of the spine from the 1st cervical to the end of the spine and down the lower limbs on the sciatic nerves. Do that.

5. (Q) How much of this medicine should be taken to perfect a cure? (A) Depending on how the action of the body will be towards itself, and whether she takes it persistently and thoroughly by the middle of the second quantity as given, if the vibrations are kept up and the diet as given before, you see. Do as we have given if we would correct these conditions.
