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: Yes, we have the body here.
3. Now, we find there are many various and varied conditions that lend to the disturbing conditions in the physical functioning of this body - the general debilitation, the specific conditions, and those conditions that have become as accumulations in the system, affecting various portions of the body, until many organs are disturbed, and some have become near to organic, as well as functional conditions. However, as we find, with care and persistency, and with consistent effort on the part of the body to carry out those conditions that would lend to the relieving of those disorders, of the correcting of the equilibrium, of the changing about sufficient to meet the needs of the changing conditions in the physical forces, we would bring about much better response to the physical exercises of the body than there is attained from the present physical condition.
4. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY IN THE BODY, this we find deficient in many ways, produced by many of the hindrances as are seen in the body, and many of those are caused by, first, poor eliminations. Then, with the various conditions as have been applied to the body, and with the various resultant effects of these conditions within the system, these have brought about the complications in blood, and in the effect of the circulation, both as arterial and as the capillaries.
5. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, many of the centers and ganglions have become so aggravated by the various conditions, and by this specific condition as existent, that these are incapable under present conditions of always functioning normally. Hence the variableness as is seen in the nerve system, and the inability of perfect coordination.
6. IN THE FUNCTIONING OF ORGANS AND THEIR CONDITIONS, in the brain forces the body is very good.

7. In the sensory organism, many of these show the effect of various conditions as have existed, as well as the kind of specific conditions existent. These we will only see in passing, and as the conditions are relieved in other portions these will be assisted, and later may be brought nearer to their normal condition.
8. In the lungs very good, considering many of the conditions.
9. The digestive system - this the greater distress of the body, for there have been accidents to the body that have caused subluxations that have given distress, as these have affected the various conditions in the system, and many of the elements that have been taken within the system to bring about a normal condition were given or used without reference to the inability of the system - with the present existent pressure in many of the ganglions - to combat or meet the needs. Hence the condition was only changed to something else.
10. In the functioning of the liver and the digestive system, these do not coordinate. Hence the distraughtness as is produced in the body, as well as the condition existent in the liver in its coordinating with the kidneys, and the inability of locomotion to be carried out in its perfection is as one of the elements of conditions as existent from subluxations and hindrances in the nerve system, and the effect and pressure as is created and produced on the locomotories. As is seen also in many of the centers and ganglia of the capillary and lymphatic circulation, as is produced also in the exuding of conditions from the system, which show that the circulation is hindered, both as to internal and external.
11. These, then, as we see, would be the manners and means to BEGIN to prepare the body for the taking on of those conditions that would bring about better elements for the system - for it will be necessary to change the properties as would be given internally, or applied externally to the body, some several times to bring about a normal conditions for the body.
12. First, we would take internally as this: To one gallon of rain water, add: Sarsaparilla Root........4 ounces, Wild Cherry Bark.........2 ounces, Yellow Dock Root.........1 ounce, Calisaya Bark............1 ounce, Peruvian Bark..........1/2 ounce, Dogfennel..............1/4 ounce,
4781-1 Page 3
Sassafras Root.........1/2 ounce, Buchu Leaves...........1/2 ounce, Elder Flower...........1/2 ounce. Reduce this by simmering (not boiling) to one (1) quart. Strain, and while warm add four (4) ounces pure grain alcohol, with three (3) drams Balsam of Tolu cut in it.
13. The dose of this would be teaspoonful four (4) times each day.
14. Be careful of the diet, especially, while these properties are being taken, and keep the intestinal tract open by using enemas - especially would we use that of the Cascade nature, and with each injection, or enema, be sure there is used the antiseptic to cleanse the colon and to prevent irritation from the removal of feces that show distraughtness in the system - for, as we find, with the colon itself in IMPROPER condition, this will bring distress at times - but we must eliminate these conditions, and we must bring about in the system those effects whereby that may be applied to bring about the full correction of centers, ganglia, and of the subluxations, and until the tissue and the functioning organs from within are attuned, as it were, by the various elements and combinations as are seen in these properties as taken in the system, they would not become effective.
15. When this whole quantity has been taken, then we would give further instructions for this body.
16. The diet should consist principally of vegetables and fruits, and vegetables that grow above the ground - principally greens, soups, cereals, and of that nature. Not so much of the tuberous nature. Not much meat, see?
17. Do this, and we will give then the further instructions - when these are carried out.
18. We are through for the present, [4781].
