1. EC: Now, we find there are abnormal conditions in this body, and there are many of the organs affected in their functioning. The greater trouble we find is produced by over taxation, both to the physical and to the nerve systems, and in the taxing of the mental forces in body and without this change of attitude towards self and physical conditions, as manifested in the body, there will be no permanent relief or cure. With this, there may be.

2. Now, these are conditions as we find them in this body at the present time, Mrs. [1690], we are speaking of. First:

3. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, we find while the balance in blood force is very good for present conditions, there is not as much of the vitality or vitim [vitamin] carried in the system as is necessary to meet the needs of the body. Hence the taxing to the system in the effect produced through them in the system, for all become involved according to their cycle of functioning.

4. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, we find there are many centers that are involved in the conditions in system. Principally these (though many more reflexly): the 2nd and 3rd dorsal center, the 8th, 9th and 10th dorsal, the 3rd and 4th lumbar. From these plexuses we have many of the corresponding reactions in the system from these centers when they give the incentive for the functioning of the organs thus involved. Hence we have these manifestations in the system from these conditions:

5. In the upper portion of lungs and bronchials a dry aching sensation at times, with others some spittle or secretions thrown off, a tendency to produce tickling sensation in nasal cavity. The digestive tract at times functions abnormal. We have at times pains through the upper intestines and across the central portion of body, without the reaction or without the system functioning normal, but rather intending toward constipation and lack of secretions to remove faeces [feces] from system in proper manner. Aches, pains, across central and lower portion of the back and hips, and the bearing down pains in pelvis cavity when long on feet and when sitting or resting tendency of the

feet and lower extremities to become numb or without feeling. These conditions produced, as we see, from the nerve plexuses, as given, with their reflexes to other conditions. A state of low vital forces, with the system attempting to meet the needs both through physical and mental attributes of a physical force.

6. IN THE FUNCTIONING OF THE ORGANS, we find many of the organs are involved in these nerve and low vitality conditions.

7. The lungs, not of an organic nature, but rather that of a low vital state, yet they may become involved unless conditions are corrected.

8. In the digestive tract, and the organs of digestion proper, all show the strain as under which they all function, though no abnormal conditions, organically speaking, at the present time.

9. The hepatic circulation very good, as is that of the hypogastric and pneumogastric centers, though these function abnormal at times; rather the system attempting to adjust itself to meet the needs of vitality in the body.

10. Then, in the pelvic organs, the strain in the plexuses governing these functioning organs, we find the nerve reaction causes subnormal functioning here. This is a reaction, as in other states or conditions of functioning organs in system.

11. R E L I E F, then, to bring the normal conditions to this body, we would add that to the system that will give the vitality necessary for the complete rejuvenating, as it were, of the body. The body needs rest from all physical conditions and from mental worries, but under the present conditions use these, and eliminate worries as much as possible through the study of those things bring the better development in mental, through Faith in HIM.

12. Give these properties in the system.

13. To one gallon of rain water, add: Wild Cherry Bark.......................4 ounces, Yellow Dock Root.......................2 ounces, Calisaya Bark..........................1 ounce, Mandrake Root.........................30 grains, Buchu Leaves..........................15 grains, Elder Flower...........................1 ounce. Reduce by simmering (not boiling) to one quart. Strain while warm and add 3 drams Balsam of tolu cut in 4 ounces of grain alcohol, with 1 dram Balm of Gilead.

14. The dose would be 2 teaspoonsful 3 times each day,

before meals.

15. Do not eat meats, or very little of any, and let that be fish or wild game or fowl. Keep the intestinal tract open with enemas, either of oil or high enemas, until this is absorbed well in system.

16. Also use the vibration of electrical driven vibrator each evening ever the whole length of the spine and under side of limbs or along the sciatic nerve. Follow immediately with the vibrations from the violet ray, using the heavy applicator.

17. Do this, and we will find we will bring the body to the normal conditions.

18. The vibration from violet ray shall be used not more than 3 minutes over the whole system, but especially at the 1st, 2nd and 3rd dorsal, the solar plexus and the lower lumbar plexus.
