1. EC: We have the body here, [5410]. Now, as we find, there are conditions that cause distress to the body. Much of the cause of this has been of long standing, until the system - in attempting to adjust itself physically to the varying conditions - has created that which, would the body be brought back to a near normal condition, must be undone - or absorbed through the system, and the changes brought in such a way as to renew or bring resuscitation to many of the conditions that have lain dormant, in a manner, for some time.
2. These, then, be conditions as we find them with this body, [5410] we are speaking of:
3. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, this shows something of the character of the conditions as have existed, and as DO exist in the system in the present, produced by the disturbed circulation and the character of the drosses as have been left in the system, until there are effects of same seen in the muscular tissue; especially in tendons about the extremities, and in the small portion of the back. While this is not of the nature that is of formation from too much calcium; rather that as is produced from too much of potashes in the system and not sufficient of the iodines and salts that dissolve the urea in the system, as it is used - or becomes in the form of used products, especially in the extremities; forming, then, those of the nature of these impediments; not as lesions, but rather as the ABUNDANT supply of the leucocyte in the system, with an acid reaction in the blood, and with a high percentage of those sedimentary conditions resulting from same through the kidneys and in the hepatic circulation.
4. IN THE NERVE SYSTEMS, these, we find, show much of the stress under which the body has labored for some time; in that, with the contraction of the muscular forces of the tendons, especially in the joints, these produce a form of impingement that became at times - and does become at times - excruciating in its severity, when there is an attempt to
5410-1 Page 2
move or exercise in an opposite position from which the tendon has or does receive its pressure. This rather, then, an activity in the cerebrospinal ganglia and their tendons from same. The sympathetic rather in that position of carrying on the most of the functionings. Hence continually does the body hope for that which may come to the body in its mental and spiritual reactions to life itself. The body in its mental abilities very good, and above normal - or long since would it have resorted more often to the sedatives for the system.
5. In the general functioning of the ORGANS THEMSELVES:
6. In the beginning, we find these conditions produced from a pressure, or a condition existent in the false pelvis organs themselves. A lesion formed there; adhesions also. These broken up by activities from the exterior forces of the body, removed in part the condition; yet the CAUSE - or that in the body which produced an unbalanced condition, naturally builded on just the same as does life itself - in whatever channel it may be directed, will build - whether in environment that hinders and forms for those of the mediocre existence, or those that may flourish through those of proper environmental forces and build with that in hand. In the activities as this produced, first we brought about that of the over acid condition, with the resultant effect of that of the prolapsus in the ascending colon. Then the conditions became acute, and there was a removal of the DROSSES by the impactions as were made; yet the cause - or the effects ONLY were assisted. In the effects produced in the hepatic circulation, the engorgement of the liver, the high state of acidity, brought for those conditions which produced more of the urea in the system - which brings uremic forces, or uremic acid poisoning at times to the system, or as has been called - a form of rheumatic condition, as a result of the character of the eliminations and the conditions produced in the blood supply through these various conditions as have existed. Hence both high and low blood pressure has existed, as is seen - the in-normal activity, or normal activity of the heart's action itself, as well as of the pulmonary - or those lesions as formed in lower pelvis, sympathetically, has those same conditions in the upper DORSAL, or from that plexus from which the sympathetic cardiacs' reflexes; and the result is at times the shortness of breath, or that of the form as of asthmatic repressions to the diaphragm's activity itself; it functioning abnormally in the manner as related TO the condition in the liver and the activities of the hepatic circulation.

7. In meeting, then, the needs of the conditions, we will find it will be necessary to change often, or at FIRST change often those applications for the proper correction of conditions, and for the elimination of causes as well as effects as have been produced in the body, [5410] we are speaking of.
8. In the beginning, then, we would give as this, to change for the vibratory forces in the system. We would use those of THIS vibratory nature. First we would prepare the carrier for the medicinal properties as would be given for the change in the circulatory system, and as for the blood supply itself. Prepare, then, as this:
9. To 1 gallon of distilled water, add 6 ounces of wild cherry bark. Reduce by simmering, not boiling, to 1 quart. Strain, and while warm - not hot, but while warm - add: Tincture of Stillingia.......1/2 ounce, Syrup of Horehound...........1/2 ounce, Essence of Sassafras Oil......40 minims, Elixir Calisaya..............1/2 ounce, Essence of Burdock Root......1/4 ounce, Essence of Mandrake Root......10 minims, Tincture of Capsici............2 minims. Shake solution together before the dose is taken, which should be half a teaspoonful 4 times each day, half an hour before meals and on retiring.
10. We would also, when the pain becomes acute in the system, apply (first PAINT same with a weakened solution of opiates, only used externally) the packs of Epsom Salts - saturated solution, in as hot packs as may be stood by the body. This will RELIEVE the distress; will also make for proper drainages in the system, as will the properties taken in the compound given.
11. The diet should be during this period - especially there should be at least two meals of only citrous fruits, and the other meal of whole gruel - whether oats, wheat, rye, or what - with only small quantities of the JUICES and none of the flesh of meats; and only those of beef or of mutton.
12. We will change the conditions then, when the whole quantity of the medicinal properties have been taken; for we must first set up eliminations by changing within the system.
13. Well, too, during the whole period, that MANIPULATIONS be given - that the whole system may be made to COORDINATE in its activity, as it does through the application of manipulating the centers in the cerebrospinal system that
5410-1 Page 4
cause the incentives to respond in the various plexus.
14. Do that. Ready for questions.
15. We are through for the present. Copy to Self " " Ass'n office " " Cayce Hospital
