1. EC: Yes. Now, we find there are abnormal conditions with the physical forces of this body. These have to do with the locomotion and the functioning of the organs in various degrees and aspects. The beginning of the trouble dates from times back, when there was an injury to the body, seemingly at the time of a minor nature, but this produces lesions in the region of the lacteal ducts, and began that trouble as was indicated or called a uremic and a neurasthenic condition, for the taxation was to the eliminations as are exercised by the kidneys, and affecting directly the supply of blood to the system. Hence when the system gradually used up its rebuilding forces, there began that condition in the system whereby the body, attempting to adjust itself, caused other lesions and adhesions that brought about this condition.
2. The conditions then, as we find, are as these, to be met or dealt with at the present time:
3. Consistent and persistent application of these conditions as necessary to set up the normal equilibrium in system would overcome these conditions, though these may not be expected to vanish of a sudden, but when once set in that condition of rebuilding, and replenishing is established, the improvement will be very fast.
4. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, we find this below normal. The heart's action involved to the extent of high pulsation, low pressure, and the inability to give the proper action in the lungs and pulmonaries, though these as yet are not involved to a great extent - the locomotion in the lumbar and in the upper portion of the dorsal being the greater disturbing centers in the nerve system, for the attempt of the body to bring about the normal flow and the use, as it were, of all the energy in the rebuilding system, these centers from their normal condition of the first adhesions suffered the greater extent.
5. In the digestive system, this we find very little assimilation, on account of toxins as are re-absorbed in the
5724-1 Page 2
system through the inactivity of the intestinal tract, and the inability of the colon and of all of the portions of the expunging system to act in a normal way and manner. The condition as exists in the right portion of the body, especially in the region of the lacteal ducts, shows soreness, and will show soreness as the condition is relieved, or as the body comes near normal. With this condition, the liver, of course, lies dormant in its excretory functioning. Kidneys over active at times, and at others no actions apparently that eliminates from the system that as it should.
6. To meet the needs of the condition, then, we would massage thoroughly into the cerebrospinal system those of equal parts of Olive Oil and Tincture of Myrrh. Massage this thoroughly at least once each day, using at least two ounces of the combined solution. Massage from the end of the spine to the base of the brain, rubbing until the system absorbs same.
7. Use hot packs of Castor Oil on flannel across the region of the lacteal ducts, or lower portion of liver and upper portion of the colon - using Oil douches to remove the feces, and keep this up until the system has gained sufficient strength to remove normally. Give these at least once each day, using for that to remove the stool the pure oil, or that as is found in Nujol, or any of the Russian white oils, see?
8. After such stools are removed from system, give as an injection at least two (2) tablespoonsful of pure Olive Oil. This will act as a food and a lubricant for the colon, see?
9. The diet shall be of the whole wheat, or gruel, of any of the cereals are good for the breakfast meal. Beef juices without the beef would be well. Any that is assimilated easily by the system should be the foods for the body. Milk in modified form until the body will assimilate same, for casein is hard on the digestive system in the present condition, but modified condition of same will prove helpful, or any of the foods as are used for infants, see? such as those that digest easily, see? These will act well with system and give rebuilding forces to the body.
10. Stimulation only when absolutely necessary by those properties as have been given to repel pain, for these only tend to produce more congestion, and relaxing the system is necessary to start the body building.
11. Do these, as they have been given, for at least twenty-eight (28) days. Then we would give that as necessary to meet the needs of the condition as will come from such as has been given.

12. We are through for the present.
