1. EC: Now, we find there are many abnormal conditions in this body, and they have to do first with that of the physical that has become subjugated through the action of bacilli and of those elements so affecting the connection between the physical, mental and spiritual, and prevents the perfect accord between the physical and spiritual and gives that in the physical that is hard to be balanced through purely physical conditions.

2. Now, these are conditions as we find them in this body. The conditions as we find have changed as the cycle of time has involved the various functionings in the physical system. Hence the conditions as given at present are without the pathological conditions producing same, with the entirety, the histology of physical and spiritual forces of the body so involved in condition.

3. These are conditions at present, and those to be met, and how. First:

4. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, we find this shows the submerged condition, the inactivity of muscular forces and the rejection, as it were, of the spiritual element governing physical with mental to carry on the functionings in the system in a normal manner. Hence, we find all locomotion involved, both in blood supply and effect as produced in the locomotory centers as govern the body.

5. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, those centers in the locomotories in the tissue in the fibre, that has to do with that produced in the dextrine nature that gives the elasticity that gives the incentive of nerve and muscular force, and blood supply functioning through a normal mental and spiritual force, in a normal physical body, are submerged or dormant in their activity. Then, in the action of all of the physical forces, as applied in the system, all become subjugated, as is shown in the limbs, in the exterior circulation, in the anterior and posterior.

6. IN THE FUNCTIONING OF ORGANS THEMSELVES, the involving of the various ones as involved in conditions come from the cycle of forces in the body and the law of natural forces as

goes in the physical, governed with the mental and spiritual of the propagation of self and the forces as exercised to prevent and to keep the body in the active state. The effect as is brought, especially to the nerve center in the lower portion of the brain, that in the pineal nerve, in the pineal plexus, in the pineal center, and in its action through the whole system, gives the effect to the functioning of organs as governed by the action. Hence, it becomes through this a physical, a mental, a spiritual condition.

7. R E L I E F: To bring, then, the best to the system, we must first, with the awakening or bringing awakening of the spiritual forces and the ever indwelling in the spiritual element of the dynamic forces involved in self and in self's connection with the all-giving forces of the universal nature. In other words, we must first awaken in this entity the presence of the God-working power of self, which allows same to function and manifest through self. The believing in Him, receiving in Him, that which the spiritual, the physical, the mental may attain, if it will only attune itself to that ever indwelling nature in self. With this awakening, bring through the spiritual element to the physical the spiritual forces and vibrations in the system as will be found in compounding of these elements, in this way and manner, and taking them systematically into the system to produce the vibration necessary to accord with that awakened spiritual force in the body, [4988], we are speaking of.

8. Take then this: To one gallon of rain water, add: Sarsaparilla Root.....4 ounces, Wild Cherry Bark......2 ounces, Yellow Dock Root......2 ounces, Burdock Root..........2 ounces, Yellow Root...........2 ounces, Black Snake Root......2 ounces, Mandrake Root........30 grains, Buchu Leaves.........20 grains. Reduce this by simmering (not boiling) to one quart.

9. Strain while warm and add two drams of Balsam of Myrrh, cut in six ounces of pure grain alcohol.

10. The dose would be two teaspoonsful three times each day, taking at the same time the adjusting by mechanical means, through the forces as applied in chiropractic forces in the

dorsal and in the lumbar and in the cervical region, relaxing those impinioned [impinged or luxated ?] forces that have been impinioned through contraction of the spinal forces and of the vertebras in this portion of the body. All have become more or less involved. The greater in the dorsals, lower portion lumbar and sacral region.

11. Do this. We will bring the better forces to this body.
