1. GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly and tell me the conditions you find at the present time. You will diagnose the case thoroughly, giving the cause of the existing conditions, also the treatment for the cure and relief of this body.
2. EC: Now, we find in many respects the body is very good throughout; yet the abnormal conditions, the condition that produces the distresses in system are specific, yet the effect as is caused by affects of the system are rather distraught or distributed in such manner as that the result rather than the cause is exhibited. These, as we see, have to do with many different portions of the system.
3. Now these are conditions as we find them in this body, [4387], we are speaking of. First:
4. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, this we find below the normal in its rebuilding or recuperative forces, for there is bacilli carried in the blood stream and the change in the effect produced by this bacilli affecting different portions of the functioning organism produces the change, or the hidden condition as is produced in the functioning system. For we have as this: There are times when the body suffers from dull, slow, headaches, seemingly produced from stomach. No. There are times when the body suffers with a distraughtness in the right side, seemingly from condition in intestinal tract or from constipation. No. There are times when we find the breath, as it were, short or depressions in the lung supply proper and from structural conditions in body, apparently would come from this source. No. There are times when we have the depressions in the kidneys and urinary organs. This apparently would be from these organs themselves. No. All, we see, produced by a condition in the system, as we shall see "In Functioning Organs."
5. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, we find the sympathetic overtaxed on account of the dulled condition produced in the centers of the cerebrospinal system, and this dulled condition being
4387-1 Page 2
the source of the change in the conditions in body. Not that these conditions are accentuated to the extent that it prevents the body from functioning, and from moving, and from doing its daily labors, or of below the normal condition, yet all of these influences, all of these manifestations, are at various times felt in the body.
6. IN THE FUNCTIONING OF ORGANS, brain forces very good.
7. Throat, lung and larynx, at times show the effect of this impaired circulation, this impaired nerve condition. Lungs very good, though pressure in lower portion shows how that the relaxed or dulled condition of the secondary cardiac forces allow the blood to fill or be drawn from the organ, in heated condition, in cold condition, or in over-taxed mental conditions.
8. Digestive system, as it were, of spasmodic conditions, and through this has been given much to correct conditions; while the seat of the trouble is not there, we find it directly connected with same, for the seat or cause of conditions exists in the upper intestinal digestive system, where we have thinned walls that cause toxins to be absorbed in system; hence producing through the glands of the body the conditions as exhibited in this body, and these, as we see, produced from times back when the body had a spell of slow fever. In this condition we find the tendency then to expectancy of these portions of the body to receive these conditions. Hence the system has not become equalized in circulation, nerve circulation, lymphatic supply, sufficient to overcome or balance the body since this spell. Three - four - four and a half to six years ago.
9. In the liver, subnormal and smaller than normal. In the hepatic circulation high, kidneys at times overtaxed, as would be expected through these conditions.
10. Then, to bring the normal forces to this body, it would be necessary to take in the system those properties which will give the expectancy of the equalized circulation, equalized nerve distribution, equalized forces, and give the body in its functioning, especially in the region of the Peyer's Gland that necessary to so thicken the walls as to prevent this leakage, or this toxin from disturbing the body.
11. Then, we would take this: To four ounces of Peptotone, or Simple Syrup add: Fluid Extract Yellow Dock Root....1/2 ounce, Fluid Extract Stillingia..........1/2 ounce, Fluid Extract Poke Root...........1/4 ounce, Fluid Extract Red Clover..........1/2 ounce,
4387-1 Page 3
Oil of Sassafras....................5 minims, Essence of Tolu....................20 minims.
12. Shake the solution well together before each dose is taken. The dose would be half a teaspoonful in water, or direct, twice each day, mornings on arising, evenings before retiring.
13. Let the diet be more of fruit and vegetable matter than of meats. Do not keep much meats for the system until the body has gained its equilibrium.
14. Do that, and we will bring the body, by the time the second quantity is half taken, near to the normal forces.
15. We are through.
