Time of Reading Unknown.

  1. EC: Yes, we have the body here. Now, the abnormal conditions as we find in this body have to do with the functioning of many of the organs in the system, which condition is produced by a subnormal condition in other portions of the body. We have to do with both the circulation and the nervous system of the body and their action over the control of the functioning of the organs in conjunction with the individual functioning. Now, these are the conditions as we find in this body.

  2. First, in the blood supplying forces we find the blood is low in its rebuilding properties. There is not sufficient of the red blood cellular forces or hemoglobin to produce sufficient amount of stored energy to always supply the hurry cells, as it were, to certain portions of the body, so that we find at times the circulation becomes impaired as it were, or there is produced through the capillaries that tingling, deadened sensation, especially is this to the extremities, that is the lower limbs and arms, this only comes at times a sort of nervous condition or a reaction of the capillary and emunctory circulation to supply attempting to supply all portions of the body and to produce the proper equilibrium throughout the system.

  3. In the nerve centers and forces we find there is a fairly good connection between the cerebro-spinal and sympathetic nerve forces, but the depleted condition of the system produces at times a nervous reaction in certain centers where ganglia have become hardened or where we have a form of lesion formed, so that the contraction of the muscular forces about these portions of the body become taut, causing pain in portions of the body, especially along the shoulders, just below the cervical region and upper dorsals and lower cervicals, and at times we have pain across the lumbar and upper part of the hip. This becomes as it were dull and deadened - all of this condition being produced by re-action in the system, or refractory action of the nervous system with the suggestion from the forces of the cerebro-spinal forces working with the functioning of the sympathetic nerve system. The sensory system is impaired at times through the head and eyes and ear, these are apparently better at the present time than formerly. There is produced in the throat a fullness, a tendency to clear the throat often and phlegm forms at times and it is easy to take cold. We find at times a contraction of the pneumogastrics causing the condition produced in the duodenum, which is a re-action from the function of the organs of the liver, or the liver itself in the right lobe, so we do not have the proper secretions formed to supply those needed to give the proper incentive throughout the digestive tract, especially to the lower intestines. It comes spasmodically, or there is a spasmodic contraction so that the body becomes afraid of the diet when it should not be. The body is not always sick, but almost always feels dead, tired and languid, especially in the morning, at times it does not sleep well and again tends to make the head heavy.

  4. In the lung forces we find no organic conditions - we have no organic heart trouble, but at times we have a depression in the circulation and showing through the venous circulation. The lower portion of the body, or functioning of the organs of the pelvis, we find have been benefited from conditions that existed in the past, yet with detriment to the digestive forces, and a re-action, especially to the forces of the hepatic circulation. These organs are functioning properly at present, that is for the conditions existing in the system, which to this body has become a normal condition in the condition existing. The action of the kidneys as we find at times is not in proper form and action, so we have a reaction in the circulation and to the whole system, the carrying back of forces that should be eliminated or carried out by these organs themselves.

  5. To assist this body to be brought to a normal condition, we would take medicinal properties in the system to produce the proper action to the blood supplying forces and to the digestive tract and to produce the proper conditions throughout the system, and we would relax some of the tautness about these ganglia where lesions have been formed by suggestion, manipulation and vibration to the body. We would first give this into the system:

Podophyllin…5 grains, Cascara Sagrada…10 grains, Licorice Compound…3 grains, Dover’s Powders…3 grains, Sanguinaria…3 grains, Capsicum…1 grain.

This will be well mixed to-gether and put in small size capsules. The dose will be one every evening just before retiring until this entire bunch has been taken.

  1. After this has been taken into the system, so that we have increased the supply of blood forces that produce the forces necessary to give proper action from the liver, we would then use Chiropractic forces or adjustment of portions of the body needed there. It will be at the 9th and 10th dorsals - at the 11th, 9th and 10th, only it would not pass the 11th, but lies between the 10th and that - the 2nd and 3rd lumbar, the 5th and 6th cervicals, then only sufficient to other portions to relax them and to bring equilibrium throughout the entire system. Take the medicinal properties first and then again with the adjustments, which will not be needed more than four or five times, and we will find we will bring this body to a normal condition. The diet as taken with this should be forces that carry of the highest protein in the system. Keep plenty of water in the system at all times - the body does not drink sufficient amount of water. Take no stimulants such as tea or coffee in the system - that is in excess. Milk should be taken into the system, preferably warm with animal heat which will add fatty portions in the system and will produce better forces in the chyle. Do this and we will find we will bring the body to a normal condition.

  2. (Q) How much milk should be taken? (A) 1/2 pint night and morning.

  3. (Q) Would you recommend any special exercises for the body? (A) We have given that form of exercises which should be taken through Chiropractic treatment - this with the exercises should not be taken until after the medicinal properties have been taken into the system, which will fit the system to be able to take the adjustments so that they will remain and add to the body. Adjustments beforehand would add properties not of proper form, or that which will be unbecoming to the body. We are through.
