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 there are those conditions that are abnormal with the physical forces of this body. These have to do with organs and the functioning of many portions of the organism.
3. These, then, are the conditions as we find them in this body. First:
4. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, this we find below normal, yet the general condition of same shows there is an improvement in the physical forces, and were this kept much in this improved way and manner, and with the gradual gain, this portion of the system would continue to improve - were the rest of same kept in accord, so that the resistance as may be builded in the body is not used up; for while we find the ravages of diseased tissue in the body, and the blood becomes overcharged with same as it passes through these portions of the system, yet the ability of the leucocyte in the body to cope with the condition is very good at present, and while each portion of system that is attacked in its various centers must be considered individual, still the system as a whole must be treated as a whole. Hence we find the description of the condition as may be found in the physical forces of this body, [4874], may SOUND as if certain portions were much deficient from others - still, with the blood stream in as good condition as at present, and kept so, the physical forces would overcome the conditions of the body.
5. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, this we find generally run down, and many of the centers and ganglia show the effect of over nerve strain. Hence the rest, as well as that of taxation in another manner, has proven, and does prove, beneficial to the body.

6. IN THE FUNCTIONING OF THE ORGANS THEMSELVES, in brain forces good.
7. In the functioning of the organs of the sensory system, the auditory and the vocal organs show the effect of the weakness in the body.
8. The organs of the throat and the bronchials also show the effect of strain from the taxation through coughing, and from the inability of these portions of system, under strain, to keep blood equalized in the system, or this portion of the system.
9. Lungs and bronchials show the distress in the body, and that of cellular tissue being broken down by inroads of bacilli that is destructive to lung and pulmonary tissue, and these conditions - while improved - show live tissue broken as yet; yet these conditions may be overcome by so INCREASING this blood STREAM as at present, and so STIMULATING the system as a whole, and in specific conditions, in a way and manner as to keep that as is destroyed or capsuled so run down, as it were, or ELIMINATED, as to prevent further inroads, and also to build up that portion of the tissue in throat, bronchials, and lungs, in such a way and manner to rid the system ENTIRELY of this destructive force. Not by allowing any portion of the eliminating system to become so over clogged that capsuled tissue may break through by inactive forces in the body. By not allowing the liver to become inactive, as to keep the excretory and secretive forces of this organ acting in the proper way and manner. By not allowing the kidneys to become overcharged, or poisons to be carried back in the system that would lodge with tissue that is being eliminated, or cells from tissue eliminated from system, and thus set up the seat or a specific center of activity in other portions of the system. By not allowing the intestinal tract to be another seat or cause of toxins, or of any destructive tissue as lodgement places that would weaken the incentive of nerve or cellular tissue in any portion of the body to the extent as to allow the destructive forces to become active in other ways or manners.
10. Now, to meet the needs of these conditions:
11. As given, that of the diet, that of the rest, that of the altitude - all have been and are good; though, with the changed condition in the system, the body may change its altitude or place of residence yet the ozone, the amount of oxygen, the diet, the amount of rest, must be kept as near normal to that as is being carried out as possible, if we would keep the respiratory system and the blood replenishing
4874-1 Page 3
system in its active force of creating resistance in the body.
12. Now, these may be assisted MATERIALLY by adding to these conditions that as will meet the needs of the various portions of the eliminating and of the excretory system.
13. For the lungs, the cough, the bronchials, then, we would use two (2) inhalants, see?
14. The one for the cough and the bronchials, and that acts as an antiseptic for the prevention of tissue becoming involved by those of the bacilli as thrown off by the system attempting to ELIMINATE through either respiratory or through the regular channel of the excretory functioning of the body. This inhalant would be used two, three, four, or five or eight times a day, dependent upon the tendency to cough, or the irritation as is felt in throat or bronchials, or in nasal cavities. This inhalant prepared in this manner:
15. To eight (8) ounces of at least ninety-five percent (95%) grain alcohol - pure alcohol, add: Eucalyptol.....................1/4 ounce, Benzoin.........................40 drops, Rectified Oil of Turp...........30 drops, Canadian Balsam.................30 drops, Benzosol........................30 drops, Tincture of tolu in solution...1/2 ounce.
16. Keep solution in a glass stoppered container at least twice the size of the solution, or a sixteen (16) ounce bottle, see? Shake solution well together before this is inhaled. Inhale into the lungs and through the mouth, and into the mouth and lungs through the nostrils, see? so we clear the head and clear the lung.
17. The inhalant prepared for the lung in THIS manner: Into a one (1) gallon charred container - that is, keg - charred inside - put one-half (1/2) gallon pure apple brandy, and keep this container near heat, but keep container corked tight, but prepare an opening - with tube - through which the body, [4874], may inhale the fumes and gas that forms above same into the lungs - DEEP - see?
18. The diet, as given, kept very much in the same way as given at present, and as the other properties for the system - as the stimulant.
19. Then, add this to that for the rest of the body: Every third (3rd) day, massage the body thoroughly, over the small of back and over the lungs, with equal parts Tincture of Myrrh and Olive Oil. Heat the oil and add the Myrrh, preparing just enough - just before using - that may be
4874-1 Page 4
rubbed or massaged thoroughly into the spine and back portion of the body, so that the body absorbs these properties - the oil being the carrier and the Myrrh being the CLARIFIER and that that gives stability, strength, to capillary circulation, and increasing the circulation, and giving more strength to the body.
20. Do that. Ready for questions. (After pause) We are through for the present.
