1. EC: Yes, we have the body here. Now, the abnormal conditions that may be corrected in this body have to do with the functioning of the organs produced by conditions existing in the tissue and nerves of the body, this being produced by conditions in the blood supply from affected tissue in the system and organs that have given distress to the body.
2. Now, these are conditions as we find them in this body of [4689], we are speaking of, ... St., ..., Colorado. In the blood supply, we find the building forces, and that in the elementary forces of the blood which gives the effect as is produced in the circulation, this affecting the capillary circulation especially. Hence the dull, achy feeling over the body. Especially is this shown after what should be recuperative rest or by exertion out of the ordinary, showing the enlivening of the whole system with the reaction being sudden, and the tired, distressed feeling to the central portion of the body, the distress to the lower portion of stomach and spleen, and the reaction from this of the over-activity of the kidneys in their excretory functioning - this being produced, as we have given, from that condition in the blood, produced, as we shall see, by conditions in the organs from which the renewed supply of blood is given in the body. Not that the body is anemic, - in this condition rather, that of elemental forces in blood being able to meet the needs of the body.
3. In nerve forces, we find in the dorsal region that distressed condition, at times in the lumbar region, 4th lumbar, a lesion, lateral lesion, not bony, but congestion to the extent of becoming a lesion for this portion of the body. Hence the distress to the organs in the nerve forces of the pelvis region.
4. In the sympathetics, the over-taxation of this shows in the reaction of the system to the sympathetic forces as received by the reaction of suggestions to the body, that is, as received from outside, see - the body being over-sympathetic in this manner and form. In the sensory organism, with this congestion, we have the reaction to the

organs, especially of the ear and eyes - this being reflex only at the present time.
5. In the organs of the body, we find as these conditions: The throat, larynx, and organs of the head, show how the circulation at times gives over-secretions to the mucous forming glands and tissue there, and again producing the opposite or even to the distressed effect of these organs.
6. In the lungs, very good, at the present time for condition of blood and by the organic conditions being at the present near normal of the organ proper. In the digestive forces, that shows the reaction in the pneumogastric centers, as does also in the liver and spleen, - the spleen being near the atrophied state in right end and engorged toward the other side, see - the liver forming secretions that become taxation in circulation by exertion, you see, engorging this body - that is the liver - by such action, then giving the corresponding reaction of depression to the system - nerve reaction entirely, rather than organic condition. The intestinal tract, some troubles experienced through the head or the beginning of the colon, so that the distress across this portion of body and heaviness in the side, are from this reaction of nerve energy sympathetically, and from the condition existing in the pelvic organs proper. The kidneys over-taxed at times to the over-activity, again showing by their reaction, the sedimentary condition that would be found there by examination.
7. In the pelvis proper, the lesion forms to the organs of the pelvis and still distress is given through these portions of the body and the heaviness, and the blood detriment as is carried in the system being produced by this lesion and the pressure on the organ there where the exercise of the functioning organs become the distress sign. This we see as produced by exterior conditions to the body, see, or pressure or operative forces to assist the condition in the body.
8. To give then the relief for this body, we would first prepare the system that the relaxation of the lesions in the lumbar and dorsal region might be effective in keeping the body in the proper condition - we would first take into the system, this:
9. To one gallon of rain water, we would add: Yellow Dock Root..............2 ounces, Burdock Root..................2 ounces, Black Root....................2 ounces, Black Snake Root..............2 ounces,
4689-1 Page 3
Bark from Dogwood.............2 ounces, Elder Flower..................4 ounces. Reduce by simmering, not boiling, to one quart, strain while warm, add: Grain alcohol.................6 ounces, with Balsam of Tolu................3 drams, cut into it.
10. The dose would be one teaspoonful four times each day before meals and before retiring. Let the body keep plenty of water in the system at all times. After half of this quantity is taken, take the heavy sweat for the body for three to four treatments, one taken every second day, you see, till the body becomes thoroughly relaxed, then give the adjustment through chiropractic forces for the condition in the dorsal and lumbar region. We will find we will bring this body to its normal forces within three to four months, that it may be useful for many, many years. Do that. We are through. hrough.
