1. GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find at the present time. You will diagnose the case thoroughly, giving the cause of the existing conditions, also the treatment for the cure and relief of this body.
2. EC: Now, we find there are some abnormal conditions with this body, some that have recently become aggravated through congestion in the system; others, as we see, as produced by the poor eliminations as have been created in the system from time to time, through the various conditions, without an equal balance being created through the eliminating system.
3. Now, these are conditions as we find them in this body. First:
4. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, this we find below normal in its replenishing for the system. Hence, all the elements as go to make up same are of that unequal balance that produces many disturbances in the various functioning organs and through portions of the system, by drosses and toxins left or absorbed by various portions of the atomic forces in each cellular building functioning of the organs or tissue.
5. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, this we find shows the extravagant condition of the system, through the inflammation as is left in certain ganglions, through the condition in the blood supply and through the eliminations of the body.
6. IN THE FUNCTIONING OF THE ORGANS THEMSELVES, while brain forces are very good, slow in functioning at times, through the inability of the blood supply, as it were, to CLEANSE the whole brain force. Hence the sluggish, dullness, as comes to the body; the dull, mean headaches. This is produced, as well as that as is produced at present, through congestion in nasal, throat, and bronchials. Lungs show the effect, though not organically disarranged.
7. Heart action below normal.
8. Digestion poor at times.
9. Liver very torpid in its activity.
10. Kidneys over active, through the amount of drosses

attempting to be eliminated through the taxation as is created in the mesenteric system and in the lower portion of the trunk of body. Hence the dull, tired, achey condition as comes to the feet. The tendency for the abrasions, or of corns as produced on feet, and the condition general in the limbs, as seen in the external veins, especially along that of the inside portion of lower limbs.
11. Then, to bring the normal condition for this body, with, through, its present activity, will be slow; yet if consistently and persistently adhered to we will find the general condition on the improve. We would take then in the system as this:
12. To 8 ounces of a syrup, (prepared in this manner: To 1/2 gallon of rain water, add Wild Cherry Bark 6 ounces. Reduce to 8 ounces by simmering, and adding when strained 4 ounces of cane sugar, first dissolved in 2 ounces of hot water. See?), then, add this: Syrup of Sarsaparilla..............1/2 ounce, Tincture Valerian..................1/4 ounce, Tincture Yellow Dock Root..........1/2 ounce, Essence of Poke Root.................5 minims, Syrup of Ipecac......................5 minims, Syrup of Squill.....................15 minims, Tincture of Tolu (in solution).....1/2 ounce, Pure Grain Alcohol...................2 ounces.
13. Shake solution well together before each dose is taken, and it should be taken at least FOUR times each day, before meals and before retiring - teaspoonful each time.
14. Take the regular setting-up exercises for the body of morning, see? exercising the lower limbs, arms - stretching very much in the way and manner as when an animal arises, see? whole body, just before arising, see? and rubbing spine thoroughly with cold water just after such an exercise, see?
15. Do that. We will find we will bring better conditions for this body, and an improvement throughout, but it must be kept persistently and consistently.
16. Let the diet be as much of vegetable and of mash, and of soups, see? as possible. Never too much acid; not too much fruit, especially of bananas or apples. Of other fruits there may be plenty, especially of pears.
17. Do this for this body. We are through for the present.
