1. EC: Now, we have the body here, [4545] a body that is well balanced through the physical, yet through the mental action of the impressions to the body from the causes of the blood supply to the brain, she can not carry reason to her other faculties. She is without reason. The treatment that they have been giving to this body through the action of the forces as applied to the body has been to alleviate all of the trouble or the pressure on all of the nerves and muscles along all of the body to the brain, but there is lacking in the system that which will rebuild. There is something needed to rebuild the nerve forces that will apply to the action of the brain in its action over the rest of the system. That is, any part of the body in action uses something of the body in its action. The brain in action uses the specific part prepared by the system to be used by the brain in its action. It takes from certain organs, and functions through that which is carried in the system, to carry out its action. There is something lacking to be carried to the brain and it should be supplied by medicinal properties as well as by manipulation. If they will add this with what they are now treating the system with, they will find that they will have a different condition.
Iodide of Potassium.......................1/4 grain, Iodide of Soda..............................2 grains, Red Prusate [Prussiate?] of Potassium.....1/2 grain, Powdered leaves of Elder....................1 grain.
All of this together with three grains of Senna. This is a dose and should be given every other day. Do not give up the treatment of the body by relaxing the whole system so that it will be acted upon and carry the stimulus and incentive to the nerves and brain preparing and propelling force in the body. Softening of the brain has not begun in this body. While the body is not at itself at any time except in flashes, but if this is given in connection with all of the treatment that is being given to the body the condition will be changed. There are minor medicinal properties that are being given. This will act on the

nerves and as a stimulant to the spleenic force and to the dorsals, which controls the spleenic action of the body. We will find that this body will be improved.
