1. EC: Now, we find there are conditions abnormal that are serious for this body at the present time and will require care and attention, else there will be troubles for the physical in the body soon. These conditions have to do with specific conditions that exist and the cause producing a condition, the condition becoming one of a tentative nature, and exaggerated in its elemental forces, has produced and does produce serious conditions for the physical body, [4368] we are speaking of.
2. Now these are conditions as we find them at the present time. First:
3. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, this we find in an exaggerated state and condition, for the red blood is becoming anaemitized, and the excess of lymphatic forces, without the exercising of conditions to bring near the normal function into emunctories and eliminating forces in the body, produce destructive forces in other portions, and swelling in ligaments and tissue, such as destructive forces in red blood supply brings and has brought to the organs, especially that about the diaphragm of the spleen in its functioning. In this condition then we are gradually taking the vitality of the system, we are gradually destroying the equalizations necessary for the body to meet and to contend, as it were, with the destructive forces in physical under which the body is at the present time. In this manner do we find that, without the change of vibration, it must of necessity bring the using up of stored energy, until the whole body would become the exaggerated condition, as has been produced in the system on account of lesions in portions of the body.
4. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM PROPER, we find there are many conditions in the cerebrospinal centers that have been and are becoming affected by and affecting the conditions now existent in the system. With the weakened condition, and with the taxing of the lymphatics as heat and temperature is brought to the body, we find other centers come under this subjugation, and the vital forces necessary for rebuilding

are gradually being absorbed or diverted in their channels, until the system has become one of an exaggerated condition of one that might have been easily adjusted when first begun. In the sympathetic system we find this is well distributed, yet the strain in proving too great for the whole system, for the volition of the entity is becoming weakened under the strain.
5. IN THE FUNCTIONING OF ORGANS THEMSELVES, there are many of these we find under the strain of existing conditions, these coming under the strain and that condition in the organs showing the greater effect of the impingement of the centers controlling the system are the digestive forces in stomach proper, through the condition existing in spleen, the duodenum and the nausea as caused in the stomach proper by the flushing back in the system of those conditions that should be eliminated in and through the dross portions of body. The strain, the elimination as has been done for some times back, without the correction of the condition producing same, is and has been only to bring about the exaggerated, the malignant, condition as exists in the lymphatic forces in the lacteal gland, in the spleen, in pancreas and in kidneys.
6. R E L I E F: Hence, then, to bring the better forces and to give the body the opportunity to react and retrace the conditions as produced, we would take specific conditions in the system, and with the osteopathic or chiropractic forces, that understand the gentleness that must be accorded the system under such conditions, constrain the nerve supply, constrain the conditions as produce the fluids in system, rather than to suddenly change and divert the condition, for we would have then the sudden change that would be detrimental and distressing to the physical forces, yet these corrections can be and would be made by the manipulation, preferably osteopath or chiropractor understanding the necessary massage, contraction and retraction in the nerve centers and plexuses along the whole dorsal and lumbar region; taking into the system at least five of these capsules, taking five of these capsules; that is, we would have an alternation of these properties in the system, in small quantities, that we may get the reaction. Hence they would be taken one every other day, or one every day of the two.
7. To the first, this should be in each capsule: Podophyllin................1/2 grain, Leptandrin...............1 1/2 grain, Sanguinaria..................1 grain.
4368-1 Page 3
8. Make five of these, one taken every other day.
9. And these: Cascara Sagrada............1/2 grain, Licorice Compound............1 grain, Senna......................1/2 grain, Yellow Saffron (powdered)....1 grain.
10. These will make large capsules on account of the Saffron, but would be taken every other evening until five are taken.
11. Begin immediately with the massage and the adjusting of conditions, that elimination may be carried on in system properly.
12. With all the water as taken in the system, let it carry small quantities of elm, that we may have healing properties throughout the system. Alternated if desired by the body with the weak Saffron Tea. Let water be cool but not too cold.
13. Let the diet be that not of meats but broths and of the juice of meats, well prepared, seasoned highly, especially with Cayenne. Beef juices would be well for the present time. Broths of any character good, and green vegetables that are grown above the ground. No meats of any character. Fruits, those bearing iron, such as pears or apples or grapes. No other character in fruits. No citrous fruits of any kind.
14. Follow this closely, persistently, consistently, and we will find we will bring better conditions for the body, and as the change comes we will in a few weeks find this then. We will change the conditions to meet the needs thereof. We are through for the present.
