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 those conditions in the physical forces of this body that are disturbing in the functioning of the system. These have to do with physical defect produced by a first and secondary cause.
3. These, then, are conditions as we find them in this body, [4887], we are speaking of. First:
4. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, this shows lack of vitality in rebuilding forces for the body - lack of a perfect circulation, produced by many causes, particularly those deflections as are created by improper pressure produced in plexus directing the circulatory system.
5. In the elements and constituents of same are seen the effects of this condition, also the numbers of particles in its solution not eliminated, through improper functioning of the eliminating forces of this body.
6. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, in this we find the seat or the cause of the trouble. This, as we see, produced by an injury as was received by the body some five (5) years ago (in June) in the small and the upper portion of the back. Hence we have two deflections or two subligations. Those in the 4th and 5th dorsal and in the 12th and 1st lumbar. The effect to the nerve system is to keep the body in an overtaxed nerve strain in such a way and manner as to produce an overtaxation in the system, and the deflection of this nerve energy - this by the subligations - is to the stomach and to the lungs; so that there have been weaknesses produced in both in their functioning. Not organic, save in the manner of lacerations as have been produced in the lower end of the stomach, or in the upper side of duodenum. In the reaction as is caused in lungs is as that of too slow a circulation, produced by the pressure on the secondary cardiac forces that bring about these conditions, and the

body feels soreness and fullness, and the irritation in bronchials and in throat proper are as reflexes of this condition.
7. IN THE FUNCTIONING OF THE ORGANS, in these organs as have been given we find the reflexes as have been seen and as are described, yet these do not produce the condition as would be detrimental, were they changed to that manner in which the functioning would be corrected and the normal forces brought about, see.
8. In this manner, then, would this be accomplished: First it would become necessary to produce such reaction in the liver and in the duodenum that would bring the better exercising or functioning of the gall ducts and the effect same creates in the system. This then we would have prepared. This as each dose, in capsule, and prepare three: Podophyllum.........1/2 grain, Leptandrin............1 grain, Cascara Sagrada.....1/2 grain, Sanguinaria...........1 grain, Senna...............1/2 grain.
9. Before a dose is taken the body should drink that whole day QUANTITIES of water. Take the dose in the evening, and drink PLENTY of water during the whole day, or evening and day. The next evening follow same, see, with the next dose. Then the next dose the next evening, keeping quantities of water during the whole time, that the stomach may be fully emptied, and that the whole intestinal tract, the whole of the hepatic circulation, may be restored near to normal activity.
10. After three days, begin with those corrections as will be necessary to reduce those subligations as are seen in the lower dorsal and upper lumbar, and in the upper dorsal region. Every third day the treatments should be for the GENERAL system, that there may be unison kept in same, see?
11. For the condition, soreness, fullness, as appears in lungs, throat and bronchials, prepare as this. With the excess of some properties as are compounded there will be seen a reaction to the kidneys, which is bringing about a restoration of the normal functionings in same:
12. Take five (5) ounces Wild Cherry Bark to one-half (1/2) gallon of distilled or rain water. Reduce by slow boiling to one (1) quart, see? Then dissolve four (4) ounces of cane sugar in two (2) ounces of hot water and add to this solution. Reducing again to the quart by slow boiling, or letting come to a boil, which will have reduced to the proper proportions.
4887-1 Page 3
13. Then boil two (2) ounces of Horehound (green preferable) in six (6) ounces of distilled water. Reducing this solution or tea to two (2) ounces. Add this, while warm, to the other solution, see? Then add: Tincture Tolu in solution.....1/2 ounce, 85% Grain Alcohol...............2 ounces.
14. Shake solution together before each dose is taken, which would be tablespoonful two to three (2 to 3) times each day, or in evenings when cough is bad, or when the body is in pain this may be taken in small quantities often, see?
15. At least thirteen (13) adjustments should be made for the condition in the cerebrospinal and the nerve systems, see?
16. Do that.
17. We are through for the present.
