1. GC: You will give in a full and complete manner the physical conditions of this body and that necessary to bring about the best physical conditions for the body.
2. EC: Now, we find there are some changes in the conditions in the body at the present time than that we had here before.
3. Now, these are conditions as we find them in this body, Dr. [5618], we are speaking of. First:
4. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, in this we find below normal in numbers in red blood and white blood, yet with those elements that keep the rebuilding of plasmatic cell throughout the system, and keeping coagulation good, yet its powers of bringing the proper functioning of the organs in the system, to carry their functioning nearer to the normal, to keep the normal conditions, we find are deficient, and hence portions of the system suffer at different times, depending upon that portion needing this extra circulation, as it were, to meet the needs of the body at that particular time.
5. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, this we find is in that state wherein many centers are overtaxed by the system being incapable of making the coordination between cerebrospinal and sympathetic nerve system. Hence many centers, from lack of stimulation in blood supply, overtaxed by sympathetic forces, find their relaxation when there should be contraction, find their contraction when there should be relaxation. Especially is this true in the functioning of the organs in elimination, for we find, as is shown in the condition in the emunctory and the excretory forces in capillary, these often are relaxed when tautness should be their condition. Again we find them taut when relaxed for the expulsion should be their condition. Hence the body over sympathetic, from conditions as have been accorded the system to relieve taxation and distress in the body, both physical and mental.
6. IN THE FUNCTIONING OF THE ORGANS, all of these we find, under stimulation, coordinate nearer proper. Hence the desires of the body enter into the condition, wherein
5618-4 Page 2
functioning of system becomes necessary, and the taxation in nerve system becoming such, the body brings about in the functioning of organs a changed condition, through mentality acting over the functioning system. This again is seen in the functioning of the kidneys, in the functioning of the digestion, in the functioning of the brain reasoning forces for self and for others. As then we find, with the depleted condition in system, all portions of the functioning body coming under the taxation of the properties as accorded the system, or as is accorded by the mental activity, or as is accorded by the action of each in the system, co-relating one with another.
7. Then, to bring the better conditions, and to give the best resistance in the system, taking all conditions in the body at present, we would give much of that as we have given here before, yet changed in proportions, and adding to this those stimulus as would be found in this, and in this proportion:
8. To 4 ounces of Peptotol, add: Eucalyptol....................4 minims, Rectified Oil of Turp.........1 minim, Benzosol......................1 minim, Elixia Hydrastis............1/4 ounce, Heroin (dissolved first)...1/60 grain.
9. The dose of this would be 1/2 teaspoonful 3 times each day. This we find will give throughout the whole system the alleviation of distresses, of desires, of the system, in functioning organs, to draw on either the sensory system or the sympathetic system to supply that necessary. Hence the body, through its own will forces, will be better able to meet the resistance in the system. These properties we find give these conditions to the system:
10. The Peptotol the carrier, and that forcing, or giving the system, in the digestive portion of stomach proper, the ability for the gastric juices to assimilate the properties carried in same.
11. Eucalyptol, the active principle to the respiratory system, opening all channels of elimination through the respiratory system, giving the better clarified condition for the lungs and the blood supply, and giving the incentive in blood, thus clarified, to rebuild in system.
12. Rectified Oil of Turp, active principle to the excretory system, especially in liver and in kidneys, that MUST give the proper elimination, would the body be bettered.
13. In that of the Benzosol, again an active principle with the action of respiratory system in stomach proper, giving a
5618-4 Page 3
clarified effect to the juices as secreted and excreted in pancreas, and clarifying the action of nerve forces through the hypogastric and pneumogastric nerve plexuses of the central portion of system.
14. The Hydrastis, acting again as the sedatory forces for the action of blood cell force destroyed in spleen, as to give the eliminations in the correct channel.
15. The Heroin, that again of a clarifier, in this quantity, to overcome that condition as is produced in the system by the action of the mental forces in its action with the physical, or the action of the mental with the sympathetic and cerebrospinal centers.
16. Take these quantities only as given, only decreasing or increasing as the condition arises in the system. Should we have over quantity of grease of any character in the system, this will produce nausea. Should we have over quantity of stimulus, as of caffeines of any variety, this will produce over stimulation to the kidneys.
17. Keeping these, then, in the system, as the stimulus, and keeping the body in that manner for the diet as the body understands. Never using pork. Beefs, Chicken, or any of that nature; especially of wild game, good for body. Broths made of same, and whole wheat breads.
18. We will bring the best conditions for this body, Dr. [5618].
19. Medicines taken nine, three and six.
20. Through for the present.
