1. EC: Now, we find the conditions from the physical forces in this body at the present time are not as good as when we had them here before.
2. Now, these are conditions as we find that need correction and that at once:
3. In the portion of the system where the distress has been on the nerve system and in the functioning of the organs themselves direct, that have produced lesions and enlarging of the tubes themselves that feed to the organs, and in the tissue we have created inflammation until the distress as produced by the surrogation [segregation] in the system of this inflammation, is produced.
4. The greater trouble will be found in the left side, and these need to be corrected at once. In the reflexes from this condition we find many portions of the system involved in the condition through reflex action of nerve and of the functioning of organs as produced by this reflex. The distress as caused in the head, the nausea as caused in the system, the overtaxing of the organs that function through the hypogastric ganglion and the hypogastric center, these all show their distress. [See 5313-4 Background.]
5. We may remove this condition either by operation or by absorption, which of necessity would take longer but would be the easier for the body in the present condition, and in this manner this be done:
6. To the portions of the body where the severe pain appears at times, apply stupes of green Mullein until this is segregated and brought to the portion of system that will eliminate both through circulation and the elimination through the organs themselves proper. This will then of necessity need local applications to remove the dross and that portion so segregated. This will also need that the system take in the body those properties that will give stimulation to the system and that will assist the body in segregation.
7. We would use those cleansing solutions those of the alkaline nature, such as found in equal parts of water and

of Glyco-Thymoline.
8. For the properties as taken in the system internally, we would take as these:
9. To one gallon of rain water, we would add: Wild Cherry Bark..............4 ounces, Yellow Dock Root..............2 ounces, Buchu Leaves.................15 grains, Mandrake Root................20 grains, Elder Flower..................4 ounces. Reduce by simmering (not boiling) to one quart. Strain while warm and add 2 drams of Balsam of Tolu and 2 drams of Balm of Gilead.
10. The dose would be teaspoonful taken every three to four hours, and with this we would take the foods that will be easily digested, yet giving strength to the system, as we would have in Spiritus Frumenti, with egg (raw) cooked in same and milk added. This will be of benefit to the digestion.
11. With operation we will find the system should be prepared for same before this would be done. Do this either way.
12. (Q) How often should the cleansing properties be given? (A) Be used as a douche once every two days at least. Oftener if necessary. Do as we have given if we would correct the condition. The body is not in much condition for operation at present, you see.
13. (Q) What caused the last sickness? (A) The forming of the lesions and this correlation producing the inflammation as is set in the system, in the pelvic organs, you see.
