1. GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find at the present time. You will diagnose the case thoroughly, giving the cause of the existing conditions, also the treatment for the cure and relief this body.
2. EC: Now, we find there are many conditions abnormal. Much of this has been brought about by, in times back, the body taking those properties into the system for the elimination of other conditions in the body. This, then, with the poor elimination as was through the normal channel set up an elimination through the increase of the circulation to the capillaries. This producing then an increase in the amount of the lymphatic circulation created, or the lymph became excessive. Not to the point where the white BLOOD became excessive to that degree of destroying the red blood corpuscles, for we find instead of that in the vital portion of the creative blood it became in the eliminating system, or that condition BETWEEN the two skins - the outer and the inner (the epidermis in these portions in here, see?). In this way, then, we find, this becoming acute in various portions of the system, has caused this to come to that state wherein it (the condition) has set up that atomic vibration in the system as to DEMAND the recuperation or rebuilding of same, in the form of a parasite, in a worm nature, that infects as it propels itself in this fine manner through or between the skins, producing then first a watery state, then drying, as it moves on, or as it accumulates for the propagation of itself, see? This infection attacks, then, by taking from the vitality of the body, rather than attacking conditions direct, making the whole debilitation in the system below the normal forces - that is, the debilitation produced makes the condition in system, the resistance, below normal. Hence it becomes that as is to the body a loathsome condition, giving the nerve system and the consciousnesses of the condition in the body that of the low state of

resistance to meet the conditions.
3. Much has been done to keep the system physically fighting against the condition. Little has been done to destroy that as is produced in the system, see? A form of mercury was the beginning of this, as we see.
4. Then, to meet these conditions, we will necessarily have to meet the advancing condition, or by destroying a portion, and as the condition advances change to meet the needs of the conditions in that, see?
5. Then, we would do this at the present time: To 1 gallon of rain water, add: Sarsaparilla Root...............4 ounces, Wild Cherry Bark................2 ounces, Dog fennel....................1/2 ounce, Prickly Ash Bark..............1/2 ounce, Yellow Dock Root................2 ounces, Mandrake Root..................20 grains, Sassafras Bark Root...........1/2 ounce, Poke Root.......................5 grains, Elder Flower....................2 ounces.
6. Reduce this by simmering (not boiling) to 1 quart. Strain off. Then add Elixir Calisaya 1/2 ounce. Cut 3 drams of Balsam of Tolu in 4 ounces grain alcohol and add to solution. Add 10 minims Oil of Peppermint.
7. Shake solution well together before the dose is taken, which should be teaspoonful 4 times each day.
8. The diet very good, in the way as has been kept for it.
9. For the abrasions as show in portions of body, and as created in different portions from time to time, use this as a balm:
10. Take 4 ounces of oil of butterfat, see? That is, that's the butter without salt, fresh, reduced to the oil, with the milk and water heated and taken out, see? The OIL of butterfat 4 ounces. Add 2 ounces Plantain Root and leaves. Dry this first and powder, and boil the 2 together. Do not put water in same, but let it be as a mixture. This powdered well, see? Apply this balm to the sores from time to time, only using soft cloth over same - not BINDING, save where it's necessary to keep in place. When cleansing these, use an antiseptic of mild nature - that as is seen in any alkaline nature, see?
11. When these have been used for the time necessary for the full quantity of medicinal properties to be taken, then we would give that necessary for the correction further, for THIS will set the system in that position wherein these may
3942-1 Page 3
be eliminated and healing as will be found under these will set themselves where same may be made permanent, and not opened from time to time. Do that, then, at the present.
12. (Q) How long should the butterfat and Plantain be boiled together. (A) Until they are reduced to about half the quantity, taking about 2 ounces at the time - 2 1/2 to 3 ounces, see?
13. That is all the questions.
14. We are through for the present.
