1. EC: Yes, here we have the body here. Now, the abnormal conditions in this body have to do more with the nerves than with anything else in the system, yet the condition is brought about or produced by the condition that exists with the functioning of the organs and with a condition existing in the system. Now, these are conditions as we find in this body here, Miss [4894] of whom we are speaking.
2. The blood supplying forces we find fairly good considering the condition as existing throughout the nervous system. There is a lack of leukocyte perform the proper functioning in the blood, hence we find at times not enough of the force being carried in the blood to rebuild centers (nerve) and tissue sufficient to prevent the body at times from having a case of nerves. The body is beginning to have partial neurasthenia. This is a disorder of nerve centers in portions of the body. The body tires easily at times from this condition, as we will give from this. At times, when it does there is excitement in the blood supplying forces and we produce a contraction of the nerves and muscles about the blood supplying forces so we contract the diaphragm and there is a heaviness in the body across the diaphragm - there is no particular pain, but this contraction is shown. The hemoglobin of the blood is rather thin, but its potential factors are sufficient if given in the proper channels. The digestion has been impaired to some extent, and if allowed to continue, we will have a case of nervous indigestion that will be carried with the body. In the nerve centers and nervous systems we find throughout the nervous system there is a state of intense excitement to certain nerve ganglion, especially in the secondary cardiac plexus, in the secondary lumbar ganglion - one at the sixth dorsal and the other at the fourth lumbar. These affect the action of the lower end of the lung forces and the other is affected by this condition. One is a reflex condition and the other is a specific condition. We find the body is affected throughout by the condition of the pelvis and the organs of the pelvis so we have an irregularity of the functioning of the organs of the pelvis. The secretion
4894-1 Page 2
formed by these has become an irritant to the organs this is producing as it were an internal organic condition that needs to be looked after. Through the functioning of the organs themselves, we find the organs functioning fairly well for the condition that exists in the body. The body is not always sick but complains most of the time. The connection between the functioning of the organs governed by the sensory nerves, we find these are not always intact and we do not find perfect functioning of the organs themselves, they are at times affected or impaired, but this has not reached an organic condition - that is the functioning of the eye, ear, nose and throat. That in the stomach we find of a different condition. They are affected more or less by nerve forces that exist in the system, so the body has not reacted to the forces that have been given, for we have not reached the real seat of the trouble. That should begin from the condition here in the lumbar. The functioning of the liver and kidneys are affected only reflexly and their functioning has been very good. We only need to take that into the system which is needed to stimulate the proper action of the nerve forces and that which will supply necessary forces to the organs that are weakened by the nerve condition and will supply to the blood forces those properties needed to be added to the system, or the proper nutrition to rebuild with the organs that have been attacked by the condition that exists. So we would take this into the system:
Tincture of Valerian...............1 ounce, Bromide of Potash................1/2 ounce, Elixir of Celerina (or Calcaria)...2 ounces, Simple Syrup.....................1/2 ounce.
3. Mix well together, shake well, before taking.
4. The dose will be one teaspoonful three times a day, only taken though when the system needs to rest. Then for the condition, while this is being taken into the system, for this condition that exists through the pelvis and through the blood supplying forces and for the organs of the pelvis, we would take this into the system:
Gum Camphor.......................20 grains, Sulphate of Morphia................5 grains, Murate of Iron....................30 grains.
5. This to be made into pellets - about twenty-two pellets. The dose to be one just before retiring. Let the effect of this be in the system while the body is gaining its strength and rebuilding through sleep, for this will work with the

involuntary forces of the body. The action of the muscular forces and nerve forces will act in accord with these properties in the system. The body should also take exercise of a regular character, those especially to the hips and lower limbs - exercise that bend the body forward, then the circular motion of the hips, then stooping and rising. Not so much exercise of the arms as of the lower limbs and the circular motion to produce perfect assimilation of the medicinal properties in the portions of the system that we have given the properties for. Do this and we will find we will bring this body here, Miss [4894] of whom we are speaking, to a normal condition in thirty-nine days. Do that. We are through.
