    The liver is atrophied in a manner, certainly not wholly so, but is hardened to an extent.  The action through the digestive force becomes slow and only indirect, though through the action of the pneumogastric forces, they present a better condition than would be ordinarily with the hepatic circulation grown so dormant.  Hence through the cuticle and capillary circulation there are places over the system that show the emunctory forces attempting to eliminate from the system those things that should have been eliminated in times back.  To give the physical forces within this body the opportunity to be rejuvenated as it were, and to bring the functioning of the organs to sufficient activity as to produce elimination again through the system in any manner near normal, we would add those elements to the body that will give the incentives to all of the system.  Give these:
    To one gallon of distilled water add:

    Sarsaparilla Root...................6 ounces,
    Dogwood Bark........................2 ounces,
    Prickly Ash Bark....................2 ounces,
    Dog Fennel........................1/2 ounce,
    Buchu Leaves........................1 ounce,
    Purple Top Clover Blossom, Dry....1/2 ounce,
    Peruvian Bark.....................1/2 ounce.

    Reduce by simmering, not boiling, to two quarts.  Strain while warm.  Add six ounces of grain alcohol, with three drams of Balm of Gilead.
    The dose would be a dessertspoonful or two teaspoonfuls three times each day.  When half this quantity has been taken into the system, rub the whole spinal column and the sciatic nerves - that is, the whole length of the limb here - with [Golden Seal] salts, and after being rubbed well into the body, give electric vibrations over the whole portion so rubbed with the violet ray, high voltage, low amperage.

    Now, we find this body - we have two to consider.  While the physical in this is very good throughout, there are some conditions that may be changed in the physical body of this body, [4577], that will assist the conditions for that body depending upon this for its life in this plane.  We see the effect of the circulation in the system.  This is at present impaired to some extent, and also the conditions as are shown in the mammary glands may be improved so that the sustenance for the body that is to receive its life flow through these may be helped.
    In the date, we find this will be completed at its regular time.  In the sex we find this is the male, and in the corrections for the physical we would use that of the massage over the whole exterior portions, especially of extremities, and for the glands, as has been given, use a very weak solution of the sweet clover blossom as a drink, that the food as supplied through the mammary glands may be in accord with the condition of the child.  Made in this manner:  One to forty parts; that is, one ounce of the blossom to forty parts of water, and steep for from two to three hours in warm (not hot) water.  Then strained and made palatable by the addition of three ounces of sugar and one ounce of grain alcohol.  Drink as a tea.
    Do this, and we will find we will come to the better development for both the mother and child.

    Then, to bring the normal forces to this body, it would be necessary to take in the system those properties which will give the expectancy of the equalized circulation, equalized nerve distribution, equalized forces, and give the body in its functioning, especially in the region of the Peyer's Gland that necessary to so thicken the walls as to prevent this leakage, or this toxin from disturbing the body.
    Then, we would take this:  To four ounces of Peptotone, or Simple Syrup add:

    Fluid Extract Yellow Dock Root....1/2 ounce,
    Fluid Extract Stillingia..........1/2 ounce,
    Fluid Extract Poke Root...........1/4 ounce,
    Fluid Extract Red Clover..........1/2 ounce,
    Oil of Sassafras....................5 minims,
    Essence of Tolu....................20 minims.

    Shake the solution well together before each dose is taken.
    The dose would be half a teaspoonful in water, or direct, twice each day, mornings on arising, evenings before retiring.

    First, prepare the system that corrections may be made with incentives created in system for normal functioning of organs.
    Then take this:
    To one gallon of rain water, add

    Wild Cherry Bark (Fresh Bark)........2 ounces,
    Yellow Dock Root.....................1 ounce,
    Burdock Root.........................1 ounce,
    Green, Red or Sweet Clover Blossom...1 ounce,
    Prickly Ash Bark, green preferred....1 ounce,
    Mandrake Root.......................20 grains,
    Buchu Leaves........................30 grains,
    Elder Flower.........................4 ounces.

    Reduce by simmering (not boiling) to one quart.  Strain while warm and add 4 ounces grain alcohol, with 3 drams of Balsam of Tolu cut in it, with 2 drams of Balm of Gilead.
    Shake solution well before taking each dose, which should be two teaspoonsful four times each day, before meals, before retiring.
