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. Now, we find the physical forces of this body are such that it will be necessary to build the body to such conditions as will enable the physical forces to stand that as must be administered for the full correction of those conditions necessary, yet we would find that the body - were it to follow these suggestions for this period - will be brought to a more normal condition, and would be able then to respond to that necessary to enable the body to have sufficient use of the body and of the locomotion to arise, and through the gradual building up of the system, and keeping the eliminations in such conditions as would bring about the more active forces, and the better coordination throughout this body.
3. First, for those places as we find that become sore to the touch, and to the irritation as is created in portions of the body, apply those of equal parts tincture of myrrh with olive oil. Heat the oil and add the myrrh, and only make sufficient to massage well round about those places and across the lower portion of the body - that is, on the sacral regions - and between the shoulders and upper portion, see?
4. We would also prepare at least one pound of Balsam of Sulphur, using small handful at each application, which should be given at least every other day. This should be massaged in the armpits, across the abdomen, and in the groin, see? Then CLEANSE the body with an antiseptic solution following the thorough massaging of these properties in the body, see? using Bicarbonate OR Carbonate of Soda - teaspoonful to gallon of water. Use the myrrh and olive oil each day, see? after bath is given. Give bath each day.
5. Give these properties as the internal medicinal

properties for the present - prepare first, as the carrier, this: To sixteen (16) ounces of distilled water, add four (4) ounces of Wild Cherry Bark. Reduce by simmering (not boiling) to eight (8) ounces. Then add four (4) ounces of sugar, dissolved in two (2) ounces of hot water, see? Then add to this solution:
Compound Syrup of Sarsaparilla.......1/2 ounce, Tincture Stillingia..................1/4 ounce, Elixir Calisaya......................1/2 ounce, Essence Yellow Dock Root.............1/4 ounce, Oil of Sassafras......................20 minims.
Then dissolve or cut one (1) dram Balsam of Tolu in four (4) ounces of pure grain alcohol. Add all these together, and the dose will be teaspoonful four (4) times each day, before each meal and before resting at night, see?
6. Then, when these properties have been taken, we would give further suggestions for the improvement of this body, [4842].
7. The diet should be such as will be assimilated easily, and well that the bowels we cleansed at least once every third (3rd) day with enemas, see? that there may be no refuse that will create disturbances through those portions of the system absorbing properties massaged into the outer circulation.
8. Do these as have been given. Then we would give further instructions.
9. We are through for the present.
