1. EC: Now, we have those physical conditions as regarding [3965], ..., Ohio. Here we find the physical forces are DOMINATED by the poisons as are being assimilated in the system by improper diet, and by improper eliminations, produced primarily by the condition existent in the transverse colon; for here we find a state of prolapsus, wherein the excretions, or the feces that should be eliminated, are held, as it were, and the body suffers in joint, and in the muscle and sinews of the body, from these poisons as are reverted through the circulation of the hepatics to the system. Hence we find the blood supply is in that state of being overcharged with properties that should be eliminated; slow in its circulation in extremities, high in hepatics, and causes distress in the heart's action at times, so that an overtaxation to the body produces that as of the inability to gain the breath properly, and of too fast a heart beat.
2. To meet the needs of these conditions at the present time, it will be necessary that a series of conditions be applied to the system, for the full and normal correction of the body.
3. First, little by little, the body should reduce the diet as regarding meats, until little or none is taken of ANY character. Rather that of the vegetable and nut and fruit diet, and as much of the green vegetables as possible, and let at least one meal consist of lettuce, celery, tomatoes, onions - all green - preferably scraped or grated together, or chopped fine. Season to the taste, see?
4. After the diet has been regulated for at least two (2) weeks, begin with these medicinal properties for the correction of eliminations; though we would use high enemas to cleanse the colon - preferably such as is found in the elevator, or of the Cascade, and this should cleanse the

colon; keeping such expulsions at least EVERY DAY for the whole two (2) weeks. Then these may be taken only every third (3rd) day; with the medicinal properties as this:
5. To one (1) gallon of rain water, add:
Sarsaparilla Root..............2 ounces, Wild Cherry Bark...............2 ounces, Sassafras Root Bark............2 ounces, Yellow Dock Root...............1 ounce, Burdock Root...................1 ounce, Black Snake Root...............1 ounce.
Reduce this by simmering (not boiling) to one (1) quart. Strain while warm and add one-half (1/2) grain Podophyllin, and cut three (3) drams Balsam of Tolu in four (4) ounces of grain alcohol and add to solution.
6. Shake solution well together before each dose is taken, which should be teaspoonful four (4) times each day, before meals and before retiring.
7. When all of these properties have been taken, we would give further instructions for this body, [3965]. Do that.
8. We are through with this reading.
