HOW SUPPLIED
Liquid, 8 oz. bottle.

    Yes, we have the body here, [5450] - this we have had before.  Improvements are seen in the general conditions of the system.  Still there has not been sufficient change in the character of the eliminations to prevent those forces manifesting themselves in the form of the coagulations or localizations in pimples, boils, and such.
    We would cut out all sugars from the diet.  Increase the salines.  Keep up the manipulation.  Use, as the eliminant, more of those of the colonic irrigations.  Give equal parts of Salts, Sulphur and Cream of Tartar as a purifier.  Also prepare as this for a tonic - (and this would be good for everyone [who needs a] as a spring tonic).  To one gallon of distilled water, add:

    Sarsaparilla Root.................1 ounce,
    Wild Cherry Bark..................2 ounces,
    Dogfennel.......................1/2 ounce,
    (These are the common names)
    Yellow Dock Root..................1 ounce,
    Dogwood Bark......................1 ounce,
    Prickly Ash Bark..................1 ounce.

    Reduce this by simmering (not boiling) to half the quantity.  Strain, and while warm add 4 ounces of grain alcohol, with 3 drams Balsam of Tolu cut in same.  Oil of sassafras 20 minims, Tincture of Capsici 10 minims.  Shaking solution together (though this may be bottled and kept), whenever the dose is taken shake the solution well together, and the dose would be half a teaspoonful four times each day, BEFORE the meals and before retiring.  This will assist in clarifying the whole system...
(Q)  Are the correct osteopathic treatments being taken?
(A)  These are VERY good, very much in accord - and KEEP them very much in accord, is that as being attempted to be accomplished with the medicinal properties being given.  Medicinal properties may be given and manipulations given so that either one would be harmful, but they may be given so they will coordinate one with another; that is why we are stimulating eliminations.  Don't stimulate the eliminations with the osteopathic treatments as to cause those organs that are especially of the eliminations to be OVERTAXED, but stimulate the whole system sufficient that COORDINATION through eliminations is kept, see?
