1. EC: Yes, we have the body here. Now, we find in this body there are abnormal conditions that may be corrected. There are conditions that to other bodies are abnormal, to this body have become normal conditions.
2. They have to do with the elimination and assimilation of the forces in this system, and of the nerve forces and of the digestive forces and of the condition of the lymphatic circulation becoming sur-charged through a functional condition as exists in this system. Now, these are the conditions as we find them in this body, Mrs. [4213], Chicago, Ill.
3. In the blood supply in this system we find the quantity rather than the quality deficient in the body, produced by the condition of elimination and assimilation in the body. In the eliminating forces the organs of elimination have been so over charged that the quality in the system, of the blood force you see, has been kept well in balance without the condition producing it becoming assisted any, to the extent of correcting condition. The property of assimilation to produce more of rebuilding forces in the blood have become clogged at times. Hence, the headaches through the cerebellum and bearing down pains across the lumbar region - see? These are from assimilation of rebuilding forces to supply the blood charge in the system.
4. In the nerve system, in that of the cerebrospinal, we find centers that have become involved from the condition of the blood force, and the strain is produced by this on these centers, noticeably, those of the second lumbar plexus and of the first and second cervical plexus. These give the more distress to the body.
5. Through the sympathetic system all centers have become involved more or less. This gives the expression to the system of the shifting of conditions through the body. That is, at times various organs seem to suffer more than others, yet at another time other organs become involved, apparently. This, we see, is of the sympathetic condition. The sensory system becomes, or has been, involved more or less periodically, and is some condition of the conditions

known as normal in this body. That is, they will remain so - see? That is the effect of the condition to the sensory system - over stimulated sympathetic conditions until the refractory nerves of the sensory system have become deadened, so coordination becomes impossible - see? Now all portions will be assisted by the general health of the body.
6. In the functioning organs themselves we find as these conditions. The brain force of the body very good. Above the ordinary. In the discernment through the mental forces sympathetically becomes an exaggerated condition. Hence, the over sympathetic nature in the system of actions of the body physically.
7. In the lungs very good for the condition of the body. Organically, not trouble. Some apparent trouble in the larynx and the organs of the throat, this more through the thyroid reflex forces, as shown there, than of organic force. The digestive tract shows the effect of the poor elimination and assimilation in the system as does the spleen over active and engorged. Pancreas slow to function.
8. Liver right lobe engorged. Left tendency toward the weakened condition of functioning.
9. Upper intestinal tract shows the strain in the system, which has caused the distress and distraught of organs in the body attempting to equalize itself through natural forces and stimulation of organs.
10. The kidneys over charged, and tendency toward the over active forces, produced by sympathetic action of the pelvic organs, especially those of the forces tending towards gentation.
11. To give the relief proper to this body we would take into the system that which will overcome the condition in the intestinal tract and digestive organs. Stimulate some and give sedative force to others to bring equalization of vibration through the lung portion of the body, and stimulate and subside the action of centers in the nerve system.
12. First, we would prepare and take this in the system. Make a tea of Saffron, Yellow Saffron. Strength would be that of one to twenty parts, steeped - not boiled, see? Then some of senna or sage one to forty parts. See? These be made separate. Make the the quantity one pint of each. Put together. Add four ounces beet sugar, dissolved in two ounces of hot water - see? three drams of grain alcohol and fifteen grains of buchu leaves. The dose of this would be tablespoonful four times each day. When half the quantity has been taken, not until then, begin with deep massage or manipulation through osteopathic forces of the body from the

first cervical and the seventh and eighth dorsal. In that of the lower lumbars - see? until these lesions and soreness have been removed from this body. Do that. This we find will bring the body to the better condition of general forces throughout the system, and retard some of the distressed forces that are now being eliminated and wasted through improper channels, Mrs. [4213]. We are through.
