1. EC: Yes, we have the body here. Now the conditions as we find in this body may be corrected. Some of these producing these troubles or distress to the body are deep-seated, and we will in bringing this body to its normal forces find that it will be necessary that changes be made in the physical attributes for the system to correct the condition of a permanent nature, for there will be relapses at times to the old conditions until that producing the trouble are removed from the system, better by absorption than others, for this, as we shall see, is become a constitutional condition. Hence, many portions of the body have become involved in this condition, for it has existed for some time; yea, years. Now, these are conditions as we find in this body, [3951] we are speaking of.
2. First, in the blood supply, we find this impoverished in many ways, not only by that bacilli that has become destructive to red blood cell in a part but also in the rebuilding or replenishing forces of that cellular force necessary of propagation in the system. This we see is produced by the toxins created in the system, as we shall see. Hence, all organs that have specific action with the blood in its cleansing and in that of gathering that cellular force for rebuilding have become more or less involved in the conditions. Therefore, the organs, especially the lungs, the liver, the kidneys show this effect. The heart in its action rather from stimulation of circulation than organic or of condition of blood itself. This we see is conditions in the body, and not though, as yet, producing that condition except as secondary conditions.
3. NERVE FORCE IN THE BODY, the cerebrospinal nerve, we find centers that show the specific action of the toxins on the system, and especially its relation to the blood supply. Hence, the pains the body suffers in the head. Not always from the same specific condition do these headaches come, as we shall see in the organs, yet the first cause is from toxins in the system in the small intestinal tract and also in the transverse colon. The sensory system suffers

spasmodically from this condition. Hence, the reaction after these spasmodic pains to the head, in the eyes, at times in throat, at other times the roaring in ears and the taste becomes bad. The sense of feeling becomes exaggerated, for nearer to this vibration is the reaction from these conditions. The sympathetic have become rather that of the dormant nature, though active when brought into place by either mental or over vibration created in system that acts through the cerebrospinal nervous system, or nerve system.
4. In the functioning of organs themselves, the head, throat and organs of this portion of the body at the present time shows some congestion by outside forces, other than the general condition and seat of same, as we are giving. Hence, there are local conditions in various portions of the body from this condition, that is the congestion, at the present time. The lungs and bronchials show the effect of the strain on the circulation in that there are cells and air chambers of the lungs proper that have become plethoric in their action. In the digestive tract we find with the nerve condition the stomach itself proper is smaller than should be for normal conditions. This has it effect upon the digestive system and often gives the reflex that causes the headaches as produced at the base of brain and at the top, or crown, of head. In the heart forces itself, no organic conditions. Those only as has been given from the circulation and stimulation of that circulation. In the lower portion of stomach, the pancreas and the first of digestive functioning laggard, or slow in their secretion, depending upon the state of nerve system when digestion takes place in the body. The body often denies the physical of those elements that would be better for the body for fear of this taxation to the nerve system through these headaches. The liver laggard in its excretory and secretive functioning. The forces of the organ have become too much of the negative force in circulation. Hence, the flow of blood to the head. The intestinal digestion is the seat of the troubles for this body, and there has been many stages of this condition as exists in this intestinal tract. That is, the upper portion, or where intestinal digestion takes place and where preparations for that fluid creating the new blood and those constituents of sufficient nutriment to supply the physical body in its best vibration or development, the hepatic circulation showing a cold or sub-normal condition, and at others the abnormal or the excessive circulation there. The kidneys in its attempt to eliminate these toxins have become engorged, and has caused
3951-1 Page 3
distress to the body in various stages of this condition. This we see, also, has been added to by local conditions that have existed at various times in the organs of the pelvis. The bladder has shown inflammation at times. At present not so much, yet those reactions in the organs has brought distress to the lower extremity circulation, especially that through the right limb more than the other, for the left side has suffered more and gives of that cross circulation.
5. To give the great relief and to bring the normal vibrations to this body we would take this in the system. To one gallon of water (rain water) we would add:
Sarsaparilla Root............2 ounces, Yellow Dock Root.............2 ounces, Yellow Root..................2 ounces, Calisaya Bark................1 ounce, Mandrake Root...............15 grains, Buchu Leaves................20 grains.
6. This would be reduced by simmering (not boiling) to one quart. Strain. While warm, add 6 ounces of grain alcohol, with 3 drams of Balsam of Tolu cut in it. The dose would be teaspoonful 4 times each day, taken after meals and before retiring. Every fifth day for several weeks we would take, before the first meal of the day, half teaspoonful of plain phosphate of soda, with one drop of oil of white pine. Do that, [3951].
7. We are through.
