1. EC: Yes, we have the body here. Now we find that there are abnormal conditions in this body. These as we find are of a sympathetic nature and the conditions are being produced in the system from these abnormal conditions now.
2. These are the conditions as we find them in this body, [1089].
3. We are speaking first thing of the blood supply. This we find shows how the bacilla [bacilli], as is found in the system, is being depleted by being eliminated through channels. Then these have the normal condition of the body, hence, the conditions as are seen in capillary circulation in the lateral [lacteal] ducts - then do we find the disturbances produced in the hypogastric and numogastric [pneumogastric] flexes [plexus]. These, as we see, are there [then] the secondary condition in the system, for the condition is reflex. The stomach condition and the liver condition are both secondary conditions at the present time, having become involved through the reflex condition.
4. The nerve system then we find is taxed through the cerebrospinal centers and the center, especially, that radiates from the solar plexus proper is the one the most involved; though the condition in the eighth and ninth dorsal gangular [ganglia], also, produces disturbances.
5. The sympathetic and sensory system are very good in the functioning of the organs proper. Organs of the sensory system strong, especially in the vocal forces as regards the feeling and touch in the throat, larynx and bronchial.
6. In the tonsil we find disturbed to some extent and has reached such condition that the bacilla [bacilli] from this produce the greater disturbances in the system, hence - would be better were these removed by an operation. See? Then as the pus or bacilla [bacilli] is absorbed in the system it gives the first disturbances of the digestive system - the reflexes - these from the subligation [subluxation] in the ninth dorsal and in the solar plexus proper, bring about that defluction [deflection] in the nerves of the stomach and digestion.

7. The system, however, should be prepared for this operation in that the system should be treated first so that the general forces would be able to produce coagulation in such a manner so as to overcome and assist rather than become a detriment to the body.
8. In the lungs very good, heart action normal, digestion in the stomach under the subligation [subluxation] of the plexus in hypogastric and numogastric [pneumogastric] to that extent so as to produce such pull [poor] assimilation as gives the blood impoverishment by carrying through such properties as force elimination from the system.
9. Liver engorged to treatment [?] in expilary [excretory] system and intestinal tract from the lack of elimination being proper. We find shown soreness and some inflammation is seen through misinteric [mesenteric] system.
10. The kidneys overtaxed and high in their secretions and then to bring normal conditions to this body we would do this.
11. First: Prepare then 6 oz. Rag Weed or Ambrosia Weed, add 16 oz. of Water (Distilled Water), reduce by simmering, not boiling, to one-half quantity. Strain well, warm and add 4 oz. Cane Sugar 2 oz. Pure Grain Alcohol 1 dram Balsam, cut and dissolved before.
12. Dose: Three teaspoonfuls [teaspoonsful] each day. One taken early in morning. One in afternoon. Other just before retiring.
13. When one-half quantity of this is taken - the operation being performed.
14. After this take this for the general condition of body: Syrup of Sarsaparilla.....................2 ounces, Syrup of Wild Cherry......................1 ounce, Elixir Calisaya...........................1 ounce, Essence Stillingia......................1/2 ounce, Essence of Poke Root....................1/4 ounce, Essence of Yellow Dock..................1/2 ounce, Iodine [Iodide] Potassium 20% Solution...40 minims. Sufficient syrup, simple, to make 16 ounces. Shake the solution well together before it is taken and the dose would be 1/2 teaspoonful four times each day - before meals and before retiring.
15. Let the diet rather be vegetables and cereals and fruits. Not much meat and if at all should be [never] very fat, also, very small quantities. Whole wheat breads and we

will find that this will bring the body to its normal condition by the time the full quantity of this is taken.
16. We are through for the present.
