1. GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find at the present time; giving the cause of the existing conditions, also suggestions for help and relief of this body; answering the questions as I ask them.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [5347].
3. Now, as we find, there are conditions which tend to disturb the body at specific periods. Hence, as is indicated, there are certain seasons or periods when the vibrations of the body, or the relationships which are established in the nerve centers, are such as to cause the body to become allergic to conditions which exist in or under certain environs, or certain pressure experienced by climatic reactions in the body.
4. These reactions come from what may be called or set up as vibrations in certain centers between sympathetic and cerebrospinal system, and thus the body in such periods is subject to conditions which manifest in irritation to mucous membranes of the nasal passage and throat, bronchi and larynx or, as sometimes called, rose fever or such natures. These, for this body, are particularly from the ragweed.
5. Thus, we would find in this particular season, before there is the blossoming of same, the body should take quantities of this weed. Brew same, prepare, take internally and thus war or ward against the activity of this upon the body itself.
6. Then, through the period, also take that as an antiseptic reaction upon the nerves of the nasal passages, or the olfactory nerves of the body.
7. These will prevent, then, the recurrent conditions which have been and are a part of the experience of the body. This will enable the body to become immune because of the very action of this weed upon the digestive system, and the manner it will act with the assimilating body, too. Well, just don't get too heavy, for it will make for an increase

in the amount of assimilation and distribution of food values for the body.
8. Thus we would prepare the compound in this manner: Take a pint cup, gather the tender leaves of the weed, don't cram in but just fill level. Put this in an enamel or a glass container and then the same amount (after cleansing of course, don't put dirt and all in but put in same amount by measure) of distilled water, see? Reduce this to half the quantity by very slow boiling, not hard but slow boiling, strain and add sufficient grain alcohol as a preservative.
9. Begin and take it through the fifteen days of July and the whole of August, daily, half a teaspoonsful each day.
10. Thus, we will find better eliminations, we will find better assimilation, we will find better distribution of the activities of foods in the body.
11. Then, use through the latter portion of August and September, this as a combination: prepare in the manner indicated, putting together the ingredients only in the order named. First we would prepare a bottle with a large-mouth, two vents through the cork and these vents capable of being corked themselves with a small cork. Neither of the vents is to enter the solution, so use a six ounce container. In this container put four ounces of grain alcohol (at least 90% proof), then add in the order named: Oil of Eucalyptus.................20 minims, Rectified Oil of Turp..............5 minims, Compound Tincture of Benzoin......15 minims, Oil of Pine Needles...............10 minims, Tolu in Solution..................10 minims.
12. When this is to be used, shake the solution together, remove the corks from the vent, inhale deep through the nostril so as to enter the nasal passages, also to the upper and back portions of throat, both passages. Shake between each deep inhalation.
13. Do these and we'll have better conditions for the body. Do for the body-forces use wheat germ in the morning meal with the cereal, which may be taken a teaspoonful over a good bowl of cereal, then add the cream and a little sugar if desired.
14. Do these and we'll have bettered conditions for this body, [5347].
15. Ready for questions.
16. (Q) To the amount of the ragweed we would use how much alcohol? (A) That should be done by the prescritionist or the chemist, just to preserve same.
17. (Q) How can I gain correct weight?
5347-1 Page 3
(A) Read what has just been given. The addition of this to the body, with the effect it will have upon the activity of the liver and the actions through the body-forces, will aid in better assimilation, in the amount taken, see?
18. (Q) How can I keep from being mentally tired, and be more alert in mind and body? (A) As we find, when better physical conditions are established; that is, coordination between sympathetic nervous system, cerebrospinal nervous system and the sensory organ centers, through the emunctory patches along the body-forces, by ridding the body of this tendency of allergy towards certain elements left out of the body-forces in the vibratory natures, we will find the body more physically and mentally alert.
19. (Q) Is there anything wrong with me physically that would prevent procreation? (A) There is nothing wrong and, as has been indicated, the addition of the wheat germ is that which is lacking in a vitamin necessary for stirring of energies through these areas of body-forces. Do as given, we will have bettered conditions for this body.
20. We are through with this reading. Copy to Self " " Ass'n file " for indexing (See extra sheets of directions [which were enclosed] to be sent to Mr. T. R. Wirsing, druggist, 1001 3rd St., S.W. Roanoke, Va., who will prepare the two compounds for you.)
