1. LS: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly and tell me the conditions you find at the present time. You will diagnose the case thoroughly, giving the cause of the existing conditions, also the treatment for the cure and relief of this body.
2. EC: Now we find there are some changes in this body since last we had it here. Some have been for the better. Others affect the vital forces of the organism as a whole. Hence the disturbance in the functioning of the organs.
3. Now these are conditions as we find them in this body at the present time, respecting those conditions as have been and conditions as at present existing, showing the correlation between what as has happened and conditions existing at the present time, [5454], we are speaking of, present in this house. First:
4. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, this we find not much changed from that we had before as affecting the system, yet much change in the elements and constituents in the supply itself, for we find that there has been that bacilli in the system that attacks directly the mucous producing portions in the system, and this has caused much distress in coagulation in used portions in the system; that is, with the lack of this necessary to produce more leucocyte in blood, on account of the system being hindered by these bacilli, the body has not that vitality necessary. Easily fatigued, easily susceptible to congestion, easily put under strain physically and mentally, and adding to that condition there has been that mixture in infectious conditions that aggravated and accentuated this condition. Hence the easy congestion in all mucous producing centers.
5. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, this we find very good throughout, save as taxed by these conditions in the red blood producing centers, lachrymal ducts, in intestinal tract in the lacteal ducts also. In this we find this produces in sleep restlessness; in waking produces irritations in the temperamental condition in body.

6. IN THE FUNCTIONING OF ORGANS, we find these very good, save under the strain of a general depletion in the blood supply, assimilation, and conditions in the body in a general way.
7. All organs show normal function, save depleted under these strains.
8. Then to give the correction for these conditions, we would first be VERY careful in the diet for the body, giving that properties to the system that will produce the vitims [vitamins?] necessary to bring assimilation and the eliminations in system, giving more blood, giving the change in the hemoglobin, wherein the white and leucocyte and lymph tissue exercises their functionings through the system; not overtaxing the body mentally or physically, using those restrictions that make more methodical in diet, and in rest, and in exercise, taking the properties as the vitim builder - Fleischmann's yeast, Wyeth's Beef Iron Wine, (only taking a third of the quantity as given as doses), giving regularly, at least once each day, the extract of beef, without the fleshy portions. Whole wheat bread, and gruels that give weight and the vitamins to the body.
9. Medicinal properties very little, save be sure there are no toxins absorbed in system through the intestinal tract. As medicinal properties, only those properties that correct and keep the stomach, the intestines, the assimilation and eliminations, in a lactic condition, such as we will find in the broken doses of Castoria, occasionally. Very small doses, occasionally, Bromo-Quinine for the body.
10. Do this, exercising the diligence with the dietetics; we will bring gradually the normal development to this body, [5454].
11. (Q) What quantity, and at what intervals, should the yeast be given? (A) At meal once each day, cake, half cake taken at a time, or cubes, as they are prepared.
12. (Q) Have you anything further to say regarding this body? (A) Do this, as given. We will bring the normal conditions to this body.
