1. EC: Now, in the physical, we find there are some abnormal conditions, and these have to do with the functioning of organs, and especially those of the emunctories and the effect as is produced in system by the eliminations being subnormal.
2. Now, these are conditions as we find them in this body, [3190] we are speaking of, present in this room. First:
3. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, we find this very good at many times. At others we find the blood carries that in the low as a dross left in the system, producing an acid that is destructive in its action on tissue in portions of the body. Again we find, with this low in the blood the system adjusts itself to dissolve or eliminate. Hence we find an excess of the white blood supply, and with the taxing of the system in the physical exercise, or mental exercise, of severe nature, the body becomes easily fatigued, though recuperates fast when the change of mental or of physical forces are exercised in the physical body. That is, coagulation is produced quickly and fast in the system. Then we have a blood that is both good and bad, yet the correction should be made, that the system may have more stored vital energy in the system, and especially in its recuperative forces as is given in nerve plexuses, muscular tissue, and in the portions of the body that are attacked at times by this acid as is shown at times (not all the time) in the blood supply. This, we see, is the condition in the circulation at the present time.
4. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, these are very good. Only abnormal force we find is [that] the taxation soon uses the strength and the vital forces of the physical body. This brings, when this reaction is in the system, the distress signs through the nerve plexuses as are under the greater strain. Such condition we find at times in the lower lumbar region, or across the ball [small?] of the back, in the hips and the locomotory centers, and the dull heaviness, though not so acute, in the shoulder and arm. In the sympathetic system,
3190-1 Page 2
nerve forces very good. We do not find lesions in any of the centers, yet we find strained nerve plexuses.
5. IN THE FUNCTIONING OF THE ORGANS OF THE BODY, in the mental forces, through the brain reaction, we find the body very good. One well given to vision and detail work of such a vision. One given to understand the sensibilities as exercised in other minds as contact with this. One whose vocation would lie better in lines of that nature. That is, be a good politician, excellent in office and capable of handling any character of work under such forces. A controller of men and of legal affairs.
6. In the mental forces in the physical body, the body physically and mentally capable of controlling the physical through the mental. That is, if the body undertook, through its own mental forces, to remove even physical conditions, by the mental suggestion to self, it could create in the system that necessary to overcome conditions. Hence medicinal properties rarely should be taken in the system, though at the present they will be necessary, for some solvents to be taken.
7. In the organs of the sensory system, physical we are speaking of, and mental action in same, these we find very good, though if the strain is allowed to remain in system these organs of the sensory system may become involved, especially the eye.
8. In the throat, lungs, larynx, bronchials, very good.
9. In the digestive tract, above normal. The action in the digestion has been and is very good, for the body uses unusual discretion in this portion of the body. The liver taxed on account of conditions as exist in the kidneys, the opposite pole, for with the kidneys and the emunctories, all the emunctories in the liver find a corresponding reaction. Hence when uric acid, as is shown traces in the system at present, and at other times we find there has been and may be a great deal more, the taxing of the liver and of the kidneys, and of the plexuses in nerve system as control the emunctory forces in same, become surcharged and give the distress signs in the body. This is shown how in the muscular forces, along each side the spine, in the lumbar region, in the muscular tissue, in the fore portion of arm, in the shoulder at times, the system attempting to produce the equalization in elimination finds especially in these portions of body the direct contact with the physical action of that physical portion of the body.
10. In the hepatic circulation, subnormal or a cold hepatic kidney condition, and this brings at times the subnormal heart beat, though no organic trouble, nor is there danger
3190-1 Page 3
of such with the present mental attitude kept in the body.
11. In the kidneys themselves, we find there has been some strain on these from properties taken in the system that acted direct with the kidneys in their functioning. With the congestion as came to the body (this has been in times back) this left especially the left kidney showing this strain, and also the uric acid to be dammed or backed into the circulation. Hence finding its way in the blood supply and the effect of same in tissue and muscular forces.
12. The rest of the body we find very good.
13. To remove and bring the body to the normal forces, that its development mentally and physically would be bettered, correct this condition by taking in the system these properties as a solvent.
14. To one gallon of rain water, add four ounces of Common Garden Sage (dried). Reduce by simmering (not boiling) to one quart. Strain while warm and add ten grains of Ambergris, dissolved in one ounce of grain alcohol. Dissolve four ounces of common sugar in one ounce of very warm water and add to the solution. Add also three ounces of grain alcohol with one half ounce Oil of Juniper, with twenty minims Sweet Spirits of Nitre. Also sixty minims Oil of Peppermint. Shake solution well before taking the dose, which would be two dessertspoonsful each day, one taken before the first meal, one taken upon retiring.
15. Massage well, or better still take specific exercises in the evening of the lower portion of the body. That is, from the diaphragm down, circling the body from the waist, that we may relax the muscular forces about the lower portion of body, and that we may equalize the circulation and assist the elimination through the emunctories of the lower portion of body.
16. After this has been taken, all of the medicinal properties, keep up the exercises and apply the violet ray over the whole body once every second day, for ten minutes.
17. Do that, keeping the mental in the attitude toward the better condition as is necessary for the body to become at a one-ness with the Divine within, serving others, in that serving God.
18. We are through.
