1. GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find at the present time; giving the cause of the existing conditions, also the treatment for the cure and relief of this body.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here.
3. Now, we find in the general physical forces there is little to build upon, and the body continues to use up the vitality without restoring sufficient from the assimilation to replenish the physical forces, and gradually there has grown, then, within same, the lack of the incentive from various portions of the organism to function sufficient to recharge or resuscitate even the cells that are necessary to replenish those used in functioning in the system. This then produces a general debilitation. This is of existent condition, and this is that which must be met first before we would begin to add to the rebuilding within the system sufficient that the vitality will store up energies within the body to replenish same.
4. We would then prepare first for the body as this:
To one-half [1/2] gallon of distilled water we would add:
Compound Syrup of Sarsaparilla........1/2 ounce, Tincture Wild Cherry Bark...............1 ounce, Tincture of Stillingia................1/2 ounce, Essence of Yellow Dock Root...........1/4 ounce, Essence of Black Snake Root...........1/4 ounce, Oil of Sassafras.......................20 minims, Elixir of Calisaya....................1/2 ounce, Essence Celerina......................1/2 ounce.
5. Then we would reduce this by slow boiling. Keep the cover over this while boiling, else - with evaporation, through the heated alcohol in which many of these are dissolved - there would be lost much of the strength of the properties. When reduced to half the quantity, add - after cooled somewhat - one-half [1/2] ounce alcohol with one [1]

dram Balsam of Tolu cut in it. Shake solution together before dose is taken. Take half teaspoonful every three hours.
6. By the time that half of this is taken the body may apply that of the Radium Appliance - this preferably in the Single X - across the back at the solar plexus. When lying down lie with this across the diaphragm, or across the chest, but recharge same every day in the sun or strong light for fifteen minutes - otherwise keep same applied all the time.
7. When the full quantity has been taken we would give the further suggestions.
8. Be careful of the diet. Give meat juices, especially that of beef without any flesh - prepare by the meat (dry) being placed in sealed jar inside of a pan of water, boil until all the juice is extracted, season to taste and give teaspoonful to tablespoonful three or four times each day. Give Wyeth's Iron and Wine as a stimulant for the system - and the gruels and fruits (without apples) will agree and assimilate for the body. Do that. When this has been carried that far, we would then give further suggestions for the body.
9. We are through for the present.
