1. EC: Yes, we have the body here. Now the abnormal conditions as we find in this body here, ([4499] we are speaking of) have to do with the function of some of the organs and we find some specific condition exists in the organs themselves which has become an organic condition of the organs.
2. Now these are conditions we find here in the body, first, in the blood supply and its forces we find the blood has become inclined to be in an anemitized condition, a lack of building properties within the body, lack within the Hemoglobin itself to supply to the white blood corpuscles that which is sufficient to rebuild or react with the building properties within the system, so that there is strain or drawn vitalities of the body, and the stored forces and energy within the body have been considerably drawn upon so that the forces or reserve forces, as it were, of the blood supply becomes at times so low that the body gives way, as it were, to conditions as exist through the body, then those being produced by the condition within the intestinal tract that hinder the supply of the blood from its source, that is, that which takes into the body to make nerve building forces has not assimilated properly, forms and gives to the system suffering carried in some of the body at times; a gradual discharge of the condition throughout the body as far as the Emunctories and the Lymphatics, and all of the system has drawn on the blood supply directly to furnish to its required things used to rebuild energy and forces along those portions of the system that have been drawn upon.
3. In the nerve forces and the action to the Cerebrospinal nerve, we find these acting very good with the condition of the system, not in an overaction state for the condition, these have been held very good in forms and manner through those of the Sensory forces; we see the effects on these from the beginning, which were especially in those of the head, those of the nerves and goes or works in accord with those of the Cerebrospinal or these of the Sympathetic nerve system; we find those centers at the Ganglion where they
4499-1 Page 2
connect with the Cerebrospinal, and we find about the Ganglion an enlarged condition of the nerve forces - that is - of the channel itself through the action of the organs themselves; then we find many reflex conditions that exist with those, for we began first in the head, the condition as we found of the eye, of the throat from a reflex condition or the action of the Sympathetic with the action of the Sensory organs is being affected - that is - lack rebuilding forces to supply the system to make or form the conditions, producing a weakened condition about these parts of the body; the condition we have in the throat at times, these we have in portions of the condition in the lower part of the body through the intestinal tract, or the discharge we have at times in the stomach itself, produces the condition within the throat that would not be if the system had enough energy or resistiveness to take care of the condition.
4. Through the lung condition we find a Plethoric condition as produced by the action of the blood in the lungs in its present condition and its carrying Bacilli in the system as it gathers in the Viscera from other parts of the body; through the intestinal tract, through the stomach itself we find the condition which produces the condition within the body that we have carried within the system here in the stomach, which should create properties needed to supply the system throughout; there should be sufficient quantities of iron, salts, all of the elements needed to carry the supply to the blood forces created or made as a medicine chest, as it were, of the body, as we find there, those conditions set up in the walls of the lower end of the stomach itself through the Duodenum so that the action of all effects of food or that taken into the system was to remain in too much of a lactic state, then that which hinders, as it were, the abundance of quantity, a lack of the Ileum forces to supply the properties, they force food to enter the stomach, it leaves it then in an acid state, so that we have as it were, in the walls of the stomach ulceration, laceration from those conditions; they have been carried far down the intestinal tract, and we find the effects of those throughout the upper portion of the small intestine show in the action of the Pancrean juices over the system, where they should supply forces of the Pancrean juices from the pancrean to the digestive forces, those in its chyle or place is taken in those portions of the body and carried throughout the ducts into the lungs to be mixed with the rest of the system; coming over the right shoulder, we find these ducts have been impaired by ulceration itself, so that we find that within action would be forces carried in those
4499-1 Page 3
over the system, as it were, in the whole Diaphragm, the lower part here of the stomach draws in the body, producing as it were, discomfort of the internal fibre forces over portions of the body drawn inward; contraction of the Diaphragm produced by action of the system in attempting to allay the condition, then the action we have through the rest of the digestive tract is affected by those conditions as produced within the body, as shown in the action of the liver, at times, too much secretion of bile, again we find that which produces Hepatic circulation, temperature, and again overcharge or a discharge of the kidneys when we have a reflex or a reaction in those to the body. Reaction is at times to those, as from the condition in the intestinal tract, as begun in the lower end of the stomach, the orifice, or the colon itself in an ascending state as we have shown here, so that we find the clotted glands become enlarged from the effects, drawn or drains on the system to supply rebuilding forces in some of the forces within those portions of the body throughout the system of the action of the organs of the body, only draws or drains upon those so that pains across those portions of the body are only reflex, not an organic condition as we found of those, only reflex and react as the condition in the system has drawn upon to react in those.
5. Now to give ease and to supply to the system those properties necessary to rebuild within the body those things necessary to rejuvenate those portions of the body, break up conditions as exist in the stomach and intestinal tract, reaction of forces as applied to the body, we would add to the system those properties that are necessary to produce a balance or an equilibrium to the body, we would first take this into the system:
6. In one half gallon water there would be added 16 ounces of Common Garden Sage (dried). This would be reduced by boiling to one quart, strain, and while warm there would be added 6 ounces Beet Sugar (not Cane Sugar), 15 grains Ambergris (black), dissolved in 1 ounce of Alcohol, 6 ounces Gin, 3 drams Cinnamon Stick or Bark, rather than dried or ground. Dose would be Tablespoonful three times a day.
7. The body should stay out of doors as much as possible, rest as much as possible.
8. Let all the water that is drunk carry Elm Bark 3 grains to the glass full - that is powdered - with 2 drops of Glyco-Thymoline in each glass.
9. While this is being taken in the system, we would also take this in the system, a combination which is known as Yorkets Compound, Kellogg Catalogue, Battle Creek, Mich.,
4499-1 Page 4
the composition of which is Honey Comb, Iron, Salycin, and Charcoal in tablet form and would be taken each evening. This is to remove or take away the gas that forms throughout from the condition of the intestines and the stomach.
10. The diet that would be taken at this would not carry much of the Proteids, not much of heavy foods, or that which carries fermentation within the body; Junket. Arrow Root, Cereal, that is cold is better.
11. After the body has been cleansed then we will rebuild or remove the condition that exists in the stomach and intestinal tract throughout the forces here, then we would add other things to the system to rebuild or rejuvenate certain centers that will need forces, this will be after some six to eight weeks.
12. Chloride of Gold with Calcium Chloride and apply electricity to the 9th Dorsal and the 4th Lumbar Ganglion, those of electrical forces in which we have the reverse coil, not an ordinary Ultra Violet Ray but more of the X-ray treatment to the body: 15 Grains Chloride of Gold, 15 Ounces of water with 3 Grains Calcium Chloride.
13. Dose, 5 drops in one half glass water 30 minutes before electricity is given to the system, electricity will only be applied to the system for two minutes each time.
14. Do this. We will find will bring this body back to a normal condition.
