1. EC: Yes, we have the body here. Now, we find while there are those conditions that cause uneasiness and distress at times, with the physical forces of the body, these are more of an aggravating nature at their present state, and when conditions are such as to produce an accentuation of the condition, then they reach the proportions where distresses are brought about in the system. These have to do with the eliminations. Not so much that eliminations are not kept up, but rather that they are not COORDINATING one with another. That is, there are elements that are to be eliminated from the system, in drosses, used forces in the general make-up of the system, and each portion of the system has its OWN portion to perform.
2. In the effect these create in the system:
3. We find the blood supply at times is near up to normal. Again we find it deficient in the elements as necessary to carry on the proper replenishing and rebuilding in system, for the reason that there is carried in same those elements that produce - to the lymphatic circulation, to the capillary circulation - those of conditions that should have been eliminated through other portions of the system. Hence the irritations that are produced at times in the exterior, or in the epidermis of the system.
4. In the effect as this same condition produces through the liver, through upper hepatic circulation, these same drosses not eliminated - and the condition as is created in that portion of the system - we have that as MAY be at times termed a form of neurotic, or neurasthenia, in the effect as is produced. That is, in the functioning it becomes rather spasmodic, overactive at times and UNDERACTIVE at others. This also gives to the system that same reaction as is manifested in the outer portion of the body - the irritating, the itching, the tendency of coldness, clamminess - these are the effects of the condition. The

nerve system, as may be seen from the neurotic condition as exists, is under repression - or there are sublimations in the system as prevent the normal functioning of the body; these, giving the improper incentives from nerve plexus, aid and abet the condition in producing distresses. When under the cycle of the system's functioning, these conditions function then in a more ACCENTUATED manner than at other times. This may be from either that of MENTAL, nerve strain, or overtaxation physically, to the extent that the digestion becomes upset - and we have these reoccurrences of the troubles that have given the body anxiety at times through the digestive system.
5. In the effect as these create in the organs:
6. At times there has been irritation, when these conditions - in their attempted eliminations - bring to the sensory system those of the tendencies of the eyes to become red - either from cold, congestion, or from the condition as is produced in the stomach, in the form of a rash INTERNALLY - then we have the reaction of same through the tissue of the throat, bronchials, mouth, and irritation naturally comes to eyes, ears, and other portions of the system. Non-elimination, or eliminations not coordinating, and the equilibrium of the system at such times becomes unbalanced. When the eliminations are set up again, the condition becomes BETTERED - yet the CAUSES are not removed.
7. In the functioning as is produced about heart and digestive system from these existent forces - [5567] we are speaking of, these we find at times cause NERVOUSNESS. In the reaction of same is of hot or cold flashes; though the body isn't overweight, yet these conditions are as the result of the hepatic circulation attempting to produce an equilibrium throughout the system.
8. To meet the needs of these conditions, then, at the present time - we would first prepare this for the system, and after the full quantity had been taken, then we would change as to meet those conditions as necessary to be met with the variation in the vibration as would be created in the system by the consistent and persistent use of these elements, as will change the forces for the digestive system and for the assimilating and eliminating forces of the body.
9. First we would prepare as this: To 2 pints of distilled water, add: Wild Cherry Bark.....................2 ounces, Sarsaparilla Root....................2 ounces.
5567-1 Page 3
Reduce these together by simmering, not boiling, to 1/2 the quantity. Then we would add: Simple Syrup.........................1 ounce, Tincture Stillingia................1/4 ounce, 10% Solution Iodide Potassium.......40 minims, 10% Solution Bromide Potassium.......5 minims, Elixir Calisaya....................1/4 ounce, Syrup of Rhubarb...................1/4 ounce, Essence of Celery, or Celerena.....1/4 ounce. Cut 1 dram of Balsam of Tolu in 1 ounce of pure grain alcohol and add to solution. Shake solution well together before the dose is taken, which would be half a teaspoonful half an hour before each meal.
10. Let the diet be those of the vegetables that create the more salts and the more alkalin forces in the system. While acid may be taken in moderation, these would be better - that the sugars were created in system from the fruits and nuts as may be taken in their reaction with the other elements taken, than of taking them from the exterior and making the changes in the system become different.
11. Do these. Then, when these properties have been taken, we would give further suggestions for [5567].
12. We are through for the present. Copy to Cayce Hospital
