1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, Dr. [2711]. Some phases of the entity's development we have had before.
2. In the physical functioning of this body, we find there are disturbances that produce distresses with the body. These have to do with the functioning of organs, rather than dis-ease or disorder that is primarily organic.
3. These have to do with the eliminations in the system, and especially of that portion of system as has to do with the condition and resultant effects PRODUCED in system in the colon.
4. These, then, are conditions as we find them with this body, [2711] we are speaking of.
5. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, this very good in many respects, but there is a lack of that plasm in same as retains, or sustains, the vitality necessary for the resuscitation in muscular forces in body; especially when same comes under strain, or viewed from another angle the deficiency in same is the inability to produce proper coagulation in the USED forces as are used when certain functioning organs operate; as is seen in the intestinal tract, or especially that about the sphincter muscles.
6. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, this also shows rather the USED UP forces, or the tired centers, from taxation, under strain mentally and physically. Not that the body is deficient in either, save in the vitalities necessary to restore the full elasticity, or the full functioning of impulse from nerve center and the actuality of plasm building in blood supply. Hence the body suffers in that direction FROM which the system IS attacked, or the CYCLE of functioning organs becomes repressed under existent conditions.
7. IN THE FUNCTIONING ORGANS THEMSELVES, these show the effect of a depletion in the vitality of system. The SPECIFIC conditions in each:
8. Congestion is easily effective in the system, through the
2711-2 Page 2
inability of the system to produce proper coagulations. Hence there is an excess of phlegm and of the mucus discharge from throat and nasal cavity. Also there is the tendency of the body to produce such irritation as will increase the circulation through the portions of the system. THAT, the system attempting to adjust itself; NOT a deficiency - but when portions are overexercised, some portion MUST suffer, unless there is a near normalcy throughout the physical organism.
9. Heart's action shows the effect of the tiredness, as does the arterial - as well as venous - circulation system.
10. Digestion very good, considering the strain under which the system does labor. In the lower digestive system we find a character of prolapsus, especially in the lower colon; also the tendency of sluggishness in the ascending and transverse colon; so that the conditions as exist are of the nature that cause irritation and plethora, by the blood attempting to gather in portions of the muscles and of the tissue, to meet the needs - and these produce irritation, and the resultant hemorrhoid effect as is seen there.
11. In meeting the needs of the conditions for the system, these may be removed by a TEMPORARY relief - or there may be applied that in system which will REMOVE the condition entirely.
12. These we would give as BEST - those that will REMOVE this condition and build up the system to the proper reactory forces, that this condition may be eliminated in such a way and manner as to not be recurrent in the system. These we would do by building up the general health, as well as building up the system in such a way and manner as to RELIEVE and to REMOVE the stress in the system.
13. The first consideration should be, that the reactions should be nearer or more ALKALIN in the system; and for this we would use those of the Coker Compound, that will bring the DIGESTIVE system into a near normal reaction; taking this in cold water, quarter teaspoonful, after the morning or the noon meal. After the evening meal, take half a teaspoonful in very HOT water. This will RELIEVE this stress and strain.
14. Then, we would take those exercises wherein the body would, standing erect, swing arms well above head and bending forward at the same time, or giving the tendency of the UPWARD movement for same.
15. Take the manipulation, osteopathically, and adjustments, in the lumbar, lower dorsals, and on to even the upper cervicals.
16. LOCALLY, apply those properties as would be found in a
2711-2 Page 3
combination of THIS character; using this as an ointment following the stools, or WHEN there is irritation. RESTING, keeping feet up, will also aid these conditions - as well as aid the general HEALTH of body, with the taking of the medicinal properties and the manipulations (which should be had at least ONCE each day). This salve [Tim], or ointment, would be made in THIS manner:
17. To 1 ounce of OIL of butterfat, add 1 dram of very fine POWDERED tobacco, 2 grains or 2 minims of oil of aloe, and 2 minims of oil of the buckeye kernel. Stir well together and use as an ointment.
18. Do that. Also use the other suggestions for the general health; being mindful of the diet, that - as there is being attempted to create an alkalin reaction in the system through those properties taken in same - the diets do not work against same, but rather conforming with same. Not too much meats. The juices may be taken, also vegetables - vegetable OILS, and the FRUITS of ALL kinds may be taken, ESPECIALLY the citrus fruits. Ready for questions. We are through for the present. Copy to Self " " Ass'n office " " Cayce Hospital " " Mr. [900]
