1. EC: Yes, we have the body here. Now there are many abnormal conditions in this body, the effect of the organs in their functioning and the nervous system in its functioning and has to do with the circulation in the trunk portion of the body and the functioning of the organs of the pelvis and the effect as produced in the system from time to time.
2. Now these are the conditions as we find them in this body, [4276] we are speaking of: The circulation we find is low, both in the rebuilding or vital force and in the pressure proper, so the body, though high strung in a measure of nerve energy, becomes easily fatigued when real exertion is given or taken by the body as a whole. The number of red blood cells are deficient in number. The rebuilding through the white blood and the lymphatic creations through portions of the system is below the normal.
3. The nervous system - we find there are lesions about many of the plexuses of the cerebrospinal nervous system, and they are so situated as to affect both the cerebrospinal and the sympathetic system in their functioning such as we find about the end of the nerves as are in the extremities of the solar plexus center and affect directly the functioning of the lacteal glands and the peyer's glands in the small intestines or the intestines where part of digestion or all assimilation takes place in the system, hence the uneasiness and pains the body suffers at ties through the side and through the lateral folds of the intestinal tract, itself, even reflexly, as we have given from the sympathetic condition in the system causing pains to the organs, directly, in their functioning. Also, there is a lesion in the sacral plexus and the sympathetic condition in the plexus of the false pelvic cavity, see, or the portion of the ilium plexus.
4. Through the functioning of the organs, themselves, we find the sympathetic condition gives expression to the submerged condition of the body from the strain on organs, and reflexly, others suffer also. In the lungs the body is

very good, though the cell chambers themselves show a plethora condition from the low vital forces of the blood. The digestive tract proper - we find the stomach itself, below the normal in size, yet not exactly correct in its position, hence foods usually and often pass into the lower portion and to the upper intestinal digestive organs before properly acted upon by the juices and secretions of the stomach proper, hence we have some acid condition at times through the intestinal tract. The effect as shown by or on the nervous systems in the lacteal glands and the digestive apparatus gives the improper action of the secretions as thrown out or given in its functioning to the intestinal tract, the liver becoming laggard in its functioning causing an overtaxed hepatic circulation, the circulation becoming at times above the normal; the functioning of the kidneys, overcharged; the condition in the pelvis and the functioning of the organs of genitation being misplaced and causes the overtaxed condition to the organs, and in the sympathetic functioning at periods causes through the PERINEURIAL glands the reverse of the flow of blood in the system and is drained off through the upper portions of these glands and their connection with the circulation about the cervical plexus governing the circulation to the head.
5. To relieve and give the body the incentive to bring about normal condition for this body we would take into the system, properties to rebuild the functional condition of many of the glands and give the vibration necessary over the centers in the spinal region the incentive to give vibrations over the body, we would take this into the system:
6. To one gallon of rain water, we would add:
Wild Cherry Bark.........6 ounces, Black Haw Bark...........2 ounces, Calisaya Bark............2 ounces.
7. Reduce by simmering, not boiling, to one quart. While warm, strain and add three drams of Balsam of Tolu, cut in 6 ounces of grain alcohol, and 20 grains of Balm of Gilead. The dose would be two teaspoonfuls three times each day.
8. For the vibration, we would give the violet ray over the whole spinal column for two to four minutes each evening, see, that is, the massage along the spine from two to two and one-half, and the treatment to the organs of the pelvis and the direct current to the hand for one minute each, see. Do that and we will find we will bring the better conditions to this body, [4276], ..., Texas. We are through.
