1. EC: Now, we find there are many abnormal conditions in this body. Much of the condition is an exaggerated condition in that as produced in the organs by the system attempting to adjust itself, and becoming overtaxed by improper treatment, producing improper co-ordination and the combined condition is the effect as we have in the system at the present time; the locomotion, the trunk portion in organs being some of the conditions that are shown at present, though that producing this has been of long standing, and is deep-seated, yet the body may be corrected and brought to much usefulness, provided conditions are carried in a systematic manner, and so directed in system as to eliminate much from the body.
2. Now, these are conditions as we find them in this body, [4602], we are speaking of. First:
3. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, we find the quantity all sufficient. The quality is very deficient on account of eliminations in the system, and the overtaxing of the blood supply through all organs of elimination, and of a bacilli that is and has been carried in the system from times back. Much of the exaggerated condition in blood supply and in the effect as produced in the blood comes from exposure when a great deal younger than present.
4. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, we find this fairly good for the condition, though many centers have been so taxed by impinionments in the system as to give to the voluntary muscular forces much of an involuntary reaction. This we find especially in the ninth and eighth dorsal, in the fourth and third lumbar.
5. IN THE FUNCTIONING OF ORGANS, we find as these:
6. Sensory organism taxed by the extra amount of capillary circulation and the conditions as produced with the extra amount of blood from extra secretions are formed in many of the organs of the sensory system.
7. In throat, mouth and the salivary glands function too much for the system, all being taxed by nerve condition and

lack of proper co-ordination.
8. Lungs, in this we find much exaggerated condition by blood supply, though the organ, as an organ, very good.
9. Bronchials taxed.
10. Digestion we find this has been so over stimulated through the stomach proper that much is lacking in the system to produce proper digestion for that which would be of advantage to the system in rebuilding itself.
11. Liver dormant, yet at times with extra secretions gives too much of the excretory forces in system. Hence taxing of hepatic circulation and the whole system through trunk portion then becomes rather the exaggerated action of all the organs of same.
12. In the organs of pelvis, in this we find much of the cause, for in times back there was taken that in the system through coercion [coition] that has given in its reaction the distress signs and symptoms in the system.
13. R E L I E F - Then, to give the relief to this body, follow these directions systematically, but persistently. Take first this in the system:
14. To one gallon of rain water add: Sarsaparilla Root.........4 ounces, Wild Cherry Bark..........2 ounces, Prickly Ash Bark..........2 ounces, Black Haw Bark............2 ounces, Sassafras Root Bark.......2 ounces, Yellow Root Bark..........2 ounces. Reduce by simmering (not boiling) to one quart. Strain while warm and add four ounces grain alcohol, with three drams of Balsam of Tolu, and two drams of Balm of Gilead in solution.
15. The dose would be two teaspoonsful four times each day. Let the foods given this body be of vegetable matter, without meats; as much of lettuce and celery as the body will take without causing too much reaction in system.
16. After the whole quantity has been taken, rest the body for ten days. Then take this: Two doses. This would be in each dose: Podophyllum...............1 grain, Leptandrin................2 grains, Sanguinaria...............2 grains, Dover's Powders.........1/2 grain.
17. When the body has rested from these, one would be taken each day until two doses are taken only.
4602-1 Page 3
18. Rest from this five days. Then inhale the fumes from this, in small quantities, heated: Eucalyptol...............20 minims, White Balsam of Pine, or Balsam of White Pine.....15 minims, Benzosol.................10 minims.
19. This put in six ounces of grain alcohol, small quantity, pour in a container and heated, and fumes inhaled once each day; preferably in evening, and give when this is being taken the vibrations from the violet ray over the brachial plexus, solar plexus and lumbar and sacral plexus, down each limb to the knee, for ten minutes each evening, after the inhalations are taken.
20. Within four to six months we will find the body sufficiently recuperated to begin to give the normal action and vibration to the system.
21. Do that.
