1. EC: Now we find the abnormal conditions as produced within this body have to do with the conditions that exist through the digestive tract throughout or the intestinal tract through the colon, and the conditions as exist through the organs of the pelvis, see.
2. Now the blood forces within the body are weak and deficient from the over-strained nervous forces and the lack of the ability for the body to take from foods taken. The correct properties to add to the system for the condition through the digestive tract intervenes with the perfect absorbing from these foods, those parts necessary to give the correct elements to the body. The condition through the pelvic organs is caused by the over-strain and improper position of the uterus itself, causing nerve strain and over-taxed nerve centers forming the condition that produces the pains in the head, see, and the over-taxed portions of the nervous system, hence the body is irritable at times. The condition through the intestinal tract is the lack of the activity of the pancrean forces to give the correct incentives to the body through the rest of the digestion and create packs through the ascending and transverse colon.
3. We would, to relieve these conditions, not operate for this but correct the conditions in the intestinal tract, and by manipulation or adjustments correct the centers along the spine that are interfered by the condition in the pelvic region. These we will find in the sacrum plexus, the fourth lumbar plexus, and ninth dorsal plexus and reflexly those in the third cervical plexus. This will relieve the condition of the eyes.
4. Only these as medicinal properties, we would take in the system would be a tea made of ragweed in this proportion: It should be made to two ounces of the leaves, green, we would add one quart of water and let it steep for two and one-half hours on a slow fire, add to this two ounces of sugar, cane sugar and four ounces of grain alcohol. The dose would be teaspoonful half an hour before each meal. Do that, we will find with the adjustments it will not be necessary to have an operation, and the body will be able to assimilate foods and gain in weight and flesh. We are
