1. EC: Now, we find there are many abnormal conditions in this body. The physical forces have been depleted in many ways, yet the resistance in the body, through the mental forces and through the resistance as created by same, wards off many of the destructive elements. We find at the present time there has very recently been the dull leadened feeling, or the body has not felt as well in the last day or two as usually does.
2. Now the conditions have to do with many of the functioning organs, and we have some organic conditions. Now, these are conditions as we find them in this body, [4669], we are speaking of. First:
3. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, this we find has much resistive force as yet, however we do not find very much stored energy in the supply being nearly used, as it were, with the passing of conditions from the physical standpoint. This we find, the blood we are speaking of, carries in the circulation to those of the condition existing in the system through the functioning organs. That is, the system has been so attacked by the conditions that the system has become thoroughly impregnated with conditions, yet the blood supply and the resistive forces and the mental forces, in their action to produce same, ward off and eliminate much of the conditions through the whole system, so all excretory forces being kept in the manner that eliminations are carried on even at times to an excess prevents the destructive forces from making the inroads that would be detrimental, such as we find in the liver, which both excretes and secretes in the system. This we find in very good condition at the present time. The dullness in system recently comes from this, the liver, and the action of the spleen, for the body has recently had some conditions that it has been worried about. They were outside of the physical. They had to do with material things.
4. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, with conditions, we find this kept
4669-1 Page 2
in a good balance, and throughout many portions of the body do we find the centers exhibiting that condition that gives the better incentive by purely mental attributes of the body warding against ravages that exist in the system.
5. IN THE FUNCTIONING OF THE ORGANS OF THE BODY, we find many are involved in a greater or less degree. Those that we have in specific form come especially in the lung force, in the spleen and in the kidneys and the organs of same. These are the conditions to be met to be brought to the equalization as near as possible to meet the needs of the system.
6. Brain forces exceptionally good, as we would find from one whose mental activities resists as much in the system.
7. In the throat and larynx and bronchials, we often find the excess and the tissue involved in conditions that are created in the pulmonaries and in the lungs proper. These in the secretions then need to be kept in a manner and way that they will receive the forces that will rebuild in the system.
8. Lungs proper involved in condition. These are warded off at times, again the cellular forces break through and we have the relief for time, but they bring ravages to the whole system. From this we find the trouble was produced in times back by inhalations that set the bacilli that brought about much of the condition, aggravated by the conditions existing in the kidneys and the spleen.
9. Digestive tract shows the effect of conditions where properties were taken into the system. This at the present time is very good. We find there has been recently touches of indigestion. This is only a local condition and a reaction from the improper handling in the pyloric end of stomach.
10. In the rest of the organs as we see involved in this condition; that is, the spleen, this is atrophied in the left end and is engorged somewhat in the right end. This is an effect from conditions as have been applied the system to ward off conditions, and blood cells being destroyed made that were used in brain cause the plethora condition.
11. In the panaceas we find the excess of the sugars created, yet the metabolism of this condition is very good, else the body would soon find disintegration.
12. In the digestion below, that is the upper intestinal tract, this we find in the Peyer's Gland region and the lacteal gland region shows an excess of secretions. This is good for the body.
13. In the kidneys and the hepatic circulation we find there has been trouble through these portions of the body, though
4669-1 Page 3
at present time they are much better than when we had them before.
14. To assist with the climatic conditions, with the diet that is being accorded the body, we would add these conditions, and we will find we will bring much better forces to the body and assist the body in gaining its equilibrium much better.
15. We would prepare a container, charred inside, gallon and a half to two and a half gallon, charred inside. Seal tight. In this place a gallon of pure apple brandy. Keep where evaporation will form in the vacuum, or in the chamber above this. Keep well corked. Each day two to three times inhale into the lungs, through the mouth, the gas or fumes from this, not taking any in the system, but inhaling as one would smoke.
16. As for medicinal properties that will be assistance to the conditions in the intestinal tract, in the kidneys, through the portions of the body, take this:
17. To one gallon of rain water, add 8 ounces of Garden Sage (dried). Reduce by simmering (not boiling) to one quart. Strain while warm and add these: Beet Sugar................4 ounces. Not cane - beet, dissolved in one ounce of very hot water before adding, Ambergris................15 grains, dissolved in one ounce of grain alcohol, Oil of Peppermint.........3 drams, Cinnamon Bark.............1 dram, Gordon Gin................4 ounces.
18. Shake this well together. The dose would be two teaspoonsful twice each day. Keep many and all of those conditions at present being accorded the body, but add these.
19. Do that.
