1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [5736], and those conditions that affect the body physically from time to time.
2. As we find, there are specific conditions that are producing disturbances in the physical functioning of the body. These are from hindrances that come in the eliminations in the system, from adhesions that exist from disorders that disturbed the body in some times back. These, as we find, bring about these accumulations in the system, affecting the body in the eliminations, so that poisons being thrown into the system affect first the locomotions in extremities, as in limbs, hands; at others affecting the organs of elimination, bringing disturbances then to the kidney and the liver in their activity. These make for spells of dizziness; at times nausea, and incapacitating the body through the general system.
3. These conditions, as we find, exist primarily in the caecum area, with the effect extending - by dilation - in the ascending colon; and bring about those acute pains that affect the body at times.
4. The organs of the body show the effects of the distresses that have been brought about at times, for conditions are better in the present than they have been in some times back.
5. In meeting, then, the needs of the conditions for this body, [5736] we are speaking of:
6. Considerations must be given for the GENERAL condition as well as those specifics that arise from the effect that is produced in the general system. We would, then, begin first with that which will act upon the general activity of the system in CLEANSING same. Then, when specific conditions arise - as those that come from those forces affecting the trunk portion of the body, meet THOSE as they arise.

7. We would use first that of the Toris Compound, making two quantities of same. The one ounce of the compound prepared with the four ounces of simple syrup, the other ounce of the compound prepared with spirits frumenti. Then use the two together, or mix these together. The dose of this would be two teaspoonsful four times each day, before each meal and at retiring. This should be used until there is the thorough cleansing of the system, and the return of those spasmodic conditions that affect the stomach, the small of the back and limbs, is ENTIRELY eliminated from the system. This should be done by the time the third or fourth round of these properties are taken. There should be at least three to four days between each round, or course, of these.
8. When specific conditions arise, as those in the lumbar or small of back, or those in the extremities of the body - from the base, or that portion of the system that is affected, not the limb itself but from the radial centers - we would apply first a solution that would be of aconite, with a very WEAK solution of iodine, and laudanum. Then apply Epsom salts packs, a solution made as heavy as may be carried. This we will find will bring relief very sure, and in a short period. Do not use these until these become necessary.
9. Follow these, and - as we find - we will bring about a bettered condition for the body, [5736].
10. Ready for questions.
11. (Q) Approximately how long will it take, following this, to bring - (A) That depends, to be sure, upon the response. As given, in at least three courses - which would be in three to four months. Be mindful, with these, that the diet is of such a nature as not to have a great deal of grease of any kind taken. This will affect the heart's action. But rather those that are well sustaining in a balanced diet, that does not carry large quantities of grease. No fried foods.
12. (Q) What should be done when he has these spells, or convulsions? What causes this? (A) This, as has been outlined. These should be applied as given, in that area from which that portion of the system receives its impulse. As across the small of the back, at the base of brain, and head and neck - these, you see, will relieve these PRESSURES that carry these to the impulse in the system. These are produced, as we find, from those POISONS as ACCUMULATE. In times back there was an injury to the body. This first formed the lesion here in this area, and these are concussion reactions - see? of poisons, or

pressures in system. CLEANSE the system with these properties as given, USING these when SPECIFIC conditions arise, or in the extremity - whether head, arms, or lower limbs. These will clarify the conditions.
13. (Q) Is there any brain tumor or brain trouble? (A) Rather the pressure that exists in the sacral area, as given, or caecum area, that makes a pressure on the sacral. These bring those reflections to the activities of the system. No brain tumor. Rather the pressure.
14. (Q) Should this be equal parts of aconite and laudanum? (A) These should be, both, of course, reduced in their regular for or half and half - this reduced with alcohol in both cases, see, in the regular quantity - or half and half of same.
15. (Q) Please tell just how to prepare this, and the quantity of each. (A) Aconite half an ounce. Add half ounce of alcohol. Laudanum half ounce. Add half ounce of alcohol, or water - see - distilled water. When to be used, use half and half - and PAINT the body, or that portion of same to which the application is to be made. If in between the shoulders, then sufficient that this will draw from the head or from the activity from the arms or upper portion of the body, that pressure. If used on the lower portion of the body for that contraction as occurs with this, or following same at times, then make sufficient to cover that portion; using the Epsom salts in a solution as heavy as may be made, see - all that it will dissolve, saturated solution. Apply this hot. Do not use these unless necessary. We will find the Toris Compound will CLEANSE the system, and these should be farther and farther apart.
16. (Q) Should iodine also be used with this aconite and laudanum? (A) May be used with the aconite and laudanum when necessary, but if this is used it should be reduced to half its strength also.
17. We are through for the present.
