1. EC: Yes, we have the body here. Now, we find there are some abnormal conditions to be corrected within this body. We would not advise correcting same by operation, however. They have to do with the functioning of organs, rather than with the organ producing the condition. We find this has been of gradual growth or of many disturbing conditions, and the system, in attempting to alleviate or clear up those places, becoming affected to such an extent that disturbance is caused in portions of the body - the distress being more to the mental forces than actually that of the physical body in distress.
2. Provided it is taken care of at the present time.
3. Now, these are conditions as we find them in this body, of [4219] we are speaking of, present here in this room.
4. First, in the circulation, we find the blood supply in the system is being misdirected as it were in its circulation, especially when we come to the liver and that portion of the body as is affected by the hepatic circulation, for this we find above the normal, while the blood pressure is sometimes above normal, again normal, and even at times below, far below, as the heart forces and its action go.
5. The blood, in elements themselves, very good. We find the red blood supply nearly normal, at times carrying that bacilli that is thrown in the system without the circulation being such as to eliminate, on account of the condition of the hepatics. The white blood supply below normal, though of the lymphatic and its formation toward white blood, being above normal. Hence the system has produced this within itself to meet the needs of the condition so that the system may eliminate. The capillary circulation low - not as much is thrown off through the respiratory as should be.
6. In the nerve system we find the cerebrospinal nerve system very good in many respects. The sympathetic very active for the conditions within the body are of the sympathetic nature in the organic functions of organs, as we shall see. In the sensory organism, we find, with the
4219-1 Page 2
circulation in its changes, now above now below normal, and the poor elimination in the system at times, that the system has overcharged some of the organs of the sensory system, so that the effect is shown in the lack of removed used forces in the system - as that we have in the eye, that to the ear at times this little drumming sound that is produced at times, that at time secretions are thrown into the throat and larynx - all sympathetic conditions, not sufficient circulation kept in the portions of the body between the cerebrospinal, sympathetic and sensory organism as to keep proper elimination going on in this organism. This of course is depending toward the spiritual and soul and physical forces in the system. Spiritual is high you see.
7. In the functioning of the organs themselves, we find as this condition at the present time. In the brain force, active, good, above the normal, very good in discernment, not always good in discretion, see the difference. In the organs of the sensory system, we find the conditions as we have given, produced by the circulation in not removing used forces from the organs themselves, and they become specific conditions from time to time. These are only secondary conditions of course.
8. The throat, larynx and the thyroids, very good within themselves. The secretions and excretions as is supplied to the organs there by the circulation, we have with the condition of lymphatic cells, the other secretions at times.
9. Lungs proper very good. The digestive track we find conditions existing there that are not in the normal forces. The pancreas, we find has been in distress in the secretions as has been thrown into the system or in at attempting to eliminate through the secretions. This prepares in the system to meet the needs of the intestinal digestion. Spleen hardened at the left end. Very good in its functioning, but exciting the functioning of the pneumogastric nerve center. Hence, the trouble the body experiences at times in the pyloric end of the stomach, - the duodenum being in reflex condition from the existing condition in the spleen and pancreas gland. The liver, the seat of the trouble produced by conditions in intestinal track, and with the extra amount of forces needed to meet the acid state existing in intestinal track, the liver did not secrete sufficient to meet the needs of this condition, so nature, in attempting to meet these, brought on the excess of forces in the circulation to meet these. Hence, the kidneys become overtaxed and allowed the poisons to come into the system through the glands and the forces of the intestinal centers.

10. The nerve centers from the solar plexus becoming involved, this produced the condition where the system, in attempting to ward off these, brought on conditions in the intestinal track region, especially that in the transverse colon region - inflammation, as we shall see, at times, rather from reflex than direct conditions, when we have to meet many conditions that brought on these conditions in the system, see?
11. The liver at present good, in its present condition, for the condition of the blood and of the hepatic circulation. Trouble experienced through the bladder on account of the condition in hepatic circulation through the lower end of the intestinal track, we find the excess of secretions of the improper nature produced conditions which prevent the system's throwing off of feces that should be eliminated from the system, see?
12. To give this system the relief necessary, rather than by removing the glands or forces that have become engorged in this portion of the body, we would remove these by absorption, that is, taking into the system that which will create the incentive for the balance of conditions. Then stimulate the circulation in the centers of muscular and nerve force, seems to eliminate in the proper channel, see? For the system would not meet the resistance with the condition spread in the [body] from many points, neither would the taxation to the nerve system at the present time be proper. Take then this in the system: To one gallon of rain water add: Wild Cherry Bark..............4 ounces, Yellow Dock Root..............2 ounces, Burdock Root..................2 ounces, Black Haw Bark................2 ounces, Yellow Root...................2 ounces, Buchu Leaves..................2 ounces, Mandrake Root................10 grains.
13. Reduce by simmering, not boiling, to one quart. Strain while warm and add six ounces of grain alcohol with two drams of balsam of tolu cut in it. The dose would be two teaspoonsful three times each day. Take them before meals. After five days of this property being taken into the system, begin with deep manipulation for the body in the diaphragm region to the front portion of the body, solar plexus and lumbar region for the lower portion of the body. We will find the body with this will be corrected properly and have many years of usefulness for self and others. Do

that. Should be prepared at once. The treatment should last through two quantities and through nineteen treatments osteopathic or massage. We are through. ugh.
