1. EC: Now, we find the abnormal conditions in this body have to do with eliminations and assimilations in the functioning organs, and the cause of these conditions being specific, yet the effect as is shown in the system being rather the hidden and changeable in their manifestations.
2. Now these are conditions as we find them in this body. First:
3. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, this we find carries in the blood the streptococci bacilli, and this is produced in the system by the poisons as are absorbed in the body, and the blood supply is deficient then in rebuilding properties. Also in its circulation there are specific conditions left by the dross or poisons being left in the tissue, this affecting nerve plexuses and centers controlling locomotion in arms and in various portions of the body; shoulders, hips, in the side at times, other times in the neck, in the side of face. These are effects, and the cause as we find in blood supply and in organs, as we shall see, in their functioning.
4. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, this we find, there are centers in the system where this condition first produced the lack of the nerve supply carrying the conditions, or the nutriment, or the supply of the blood forces to portions of the system, until in organs the condition arises. Hence we have a submerged, a hidden and an inert condition, as it were, producing these conditions as we find in this body. These centers in the cerebrospinal system we find are in the 11th, 12th dorsal. Also the 9th, 8th and 7th centers are involved. These in the 11th and 12th directly involve those conditions that have to do with the functioning in the lacteal and in the hypogastric centers that connect directly with the hepatic circulation. Hence the poisons, or the seat of the condition where poisons are absorbed in the system, being in the small intestinal tract, near the region of the Peyer's Patches or Peyer's Glands. This then is the seat of the conditions to be treated and corrected. There are other nerve centers, especially those in the capillary circulation, in the tissue, in lymphatic circulation in

arms, in shoulders, in portions of the body, become involved through the sympathetic nerve system. Hence the depression, the melancholia, the condition that the body finds action through mental forces over its condition and over the condition produced in the system.
5. IN THE FUNCTIONING ORGANS, we find as these:
6. Brain forces very good.
7. Organs of the sensory system under subjugation and strain. Eyes and ears especially.
8. In the lungs, throat and larynx, these are very good, though the tissue in exterior portions of the body at times gives distress in these portions of the body in their functioning, such as the flame that rises in the throat, the dryness at times that appears in the bronchials, and the dryness to the palate. The digestive tract, we have rather that of a nerve digestion than indigestion.
9. The liver is dormant in its action from the condition of the hepatics and the reflexes as found in the digestive tract, and the poisons attempting to be eliminated through the system, as all the emunctories show in both the liver and the kidneys. Lymphatic circulation carries much of these conditions is how that it's left in tissue and in ligaments in portion of the system, causing this condition as is being called the neurotic, or the neuralgia, or the nerve condition that becomes involved in such conditions. We also find some of this in teeth, some of the condition in tonsils; that is, a reflex or pus forming sack that brings or gives this inflammation.
10. The rest of the system we find under the strain and stress of these conditions. We find through the intestinal tract the inclinations of the system to be in the constipated, yet there are times when over secretions, and the exciting of the mucus forming glands work directly opposite, with heat, with the application of acids the condition arises.
11. R E L I E F, to bring then the normal forces to this body would be first through chiropractic or osteopathic forces adjust the centers that would liberate the impingement in nerve plexuses, and as these are taken, these relaxations, take into the system these properties, and they should be taken for some time. Be kept in the system until the full reaction from this, taking at least ten. This the quantity in one dose: Podophyllin..............1/2 grain, Leptandrin.................1 grain, Sanguinaria................1 grain,
4326-1 Page 3
Cascara Sagrada..........1/2 grain, Licorice Compound........1/2 grain.
12. These would be made in capsules and taken one every other day until the whole quantity has been taken, that we may liberate those properties in the system in the manner that with the impingement the system may bring the normal adjustment to the body.
13. For this condition locally, as we have in arms and in limbs, the ease of this will be brought by hot applications, or by vibrations of electrical nature, such as in the violet ray. This will not heal, but only application for the properties, or with the application of hot salt, when the body has been bathed with a saturated solution of bicarbonate of soda. These will relieve but not heal. The conditions as adjusted and medicinal properties given together will relieve permanently.
14. Do that.
