1. EC: Now, we find there are some abnormal conditions that may be corrected in the physical forces in this body. They have to do with the functioning of organs and the effect as has been produced by this condition in the system.
2. Now, these are conditions as we find them in this body, [4120] we are speaking of. First:
3. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, while the quantity and quality of the blood supply is very good, the pressure and the circulation as controlled through the nerve system and functioning of organs as is controlled through specific conditions and nerve system produce an abnormal condition in the system through the blood supply. Not that in the heart itself, nor in the lungs, but rather the organs of digestion and the liver and kidneys in their functioning.
4. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, we find there are centers that have become involved in conditions, and these bring distress to the system and produce the reaction in functioning organs and in the nerve system. These are the nerve centers thus affected and producing the effect in the system: Those of the sacral and ilium plexus. Those both in the upper and lower pneumogastric, and in the hypogastric center. The ducts of the lower end of hypogastric in pelvis and affecting the kidneys in their functioning show the greater distress in the system, and the pressure produced there causes more distress, though often in reflex action. In the centers in cerebrospinal nerve system that these inflamed branches affect are in the fourth lumbar, and the tenth and eleventh dorsal centers, as also reflexly these affect the nerves of the brachial plexus. Hence the tingling sensation produced when reaction occurs in the system in the extremities, both of upper and lower portion of body. This, however, being reflex rather than that of direct cause of conditions. Sympathetic nerve system becomes involved in condition through hypogastric and perineurial nerve action.
5. IN THE FUNCTIONING OF ORGANS THEMSELVES, those of the head or the sensory organism show the reaction rather than

of specific conditions involve in the condition that exists in system.
6. Lungs, bronchials, larynx and the organs affected by the ductless glands in upper portion show how the nerve system attempts to equalize circulation and nerve supply with this subnormal or abnormal, though both occur in the system produced from the condition existing in the ilium and sacral plexuses.
7. In the lungs the clarification in the pulmonary functioning show the pressure created in blood supply and affects the arterial circulation, though no organic conditions.
8. Digestion affected through hypogastric. Hence the distress caused in lower end of stomach at times. The organs of digestion function fairly normal for condition, though NOT normal.
9. In the hepatic circulation we find the cause or the seat of the trouble in the system, so all glands and tissue that relate to the functioning of intestinal digestion, and of the circulation created by the kidneys and the functioning of the glands in pelvis, due to condition in nerve system and hepatic circulation cause distress and irritation to the nerves that direct connect with the perineurial and the hypogastric centers. The kidneys function abnormal, for the emunctories show the taxing and the over excretions often bringing distress even to the organs themselves, though not organic conditions as yet.
10. R E L I E F: To bring then the relief to the body would be to create the condition in system as to cause the equalization in circulation and of the normal functioning of the organs affecting the intestinal digestion, nerve system and hepatic circulation, relieving the strain and the stress of the condition.
11. Take then in the system those properties as would be found in this: To one gallon of rain water we would add: Yellow Dock Root...........2 ounces, Yellow Root................2 ounces, Black Snake Root...........2 ounces, Buchu Leaves..............30 grains, Mandrake Root.............10 grains, Bark of Sassafras..........1 ounce.
12. Reduce by simmering (not boiling) to one quart. Strain. While warm, add one ounce of Balsam of Tulu, and one dram of Balm of Gilead cut or dissolved in four ounces of grain

alcohol.
13. The dose would be teaspoonful four times each day. Also on each fifth day give one teaspoonful of this: Tincture of Valerian.......2 ounces, Iodide of Potassium........5 grains, Bromide Potassium.........20 grains, Elixir Calisaya............2 ounces, Oil of Peppermint.........20 minims, Fluid Extract Cayenne......2 minims, and the diet should be watched closely, taking those properties that will create stimulation to blood supply, especially nerve building forces in blood. Meats only that of wild game or fish. Vegetable matter that grows above the ground, and cereals with fruits, especially pears and apples, and the vibrations of the massage of the neuropathic forces.
14. Do this. We will find the condition will be corrected in this body within sixty days.
