TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [2], and those conditions as surround the body - the emanations of those of the physical resistances, of the physical weaknesses, as manifested. In some manners we find little change in the general conditions. While the drainages are not set up sufficient that there may be an excess elimination of poisons, we may not expect the replenishing or rebuilding forces to create new energies as will relieve those pressures in the sensory system, or to the central nerve system of head, throat and neck. These are much of in a standstill. While there are seemingly some improvements at times; at others there are indications of accumulations, and that the excesses are not being removed. We would have more of that as has been given for the setting up of the eliminations through drainages in system, through the cleansing of the whole system. We will find that, would the changes not be made as for the surroundings, those of the baths as may be given - through that of the sweat baths, or of the Turkish baths, with the rub downs following same - would be well; but we would NOT have the salt glow with same, under these environs or conditions, for they would not be the most beneficial; though under some other surroundings these might be made very beneficial, but would necessarily be from FUMES that carry other principles in their active forces on the capillary circulation.
2. In the manipulations, these should be made more for drainages to the system, so that there may not be pressures on the nerves of the head, neck, and face. Ready for questions.
3. (Q) What is cause of distress in stomach area?
   (A) The diets, while are very good - the activities of the system, as to the relation of assimilation, are not kept in accord WITH that as is being treated FOR. Hence the changes. The changes, as will be found by the manipulations come WITH the Turkish baths, these will be helpful to the condition also. Do not over eat. Do not under eat, either - for this will create for an unbalancing of the digestive fluids. Well that small quantities of pepsins - lactated pepsin - be taken for the digestive system. This may be taken, a few drops after each meal. This will prove beneficial, as will the irrigations - or colonics.
4. (Q) Do glasses need changing?
   (A) We would use those of the glasses as are for the correction of vision, by CHARGING same in the sunlight, see? We would not change the GLASSES, so far as those that are ORDINARILY used, as yet - for it would necessitate, with corrective measures, that they be changed too soon again.
5. (Q) Can treatments be carried on to advantage at home?
   (A) Not so much to advantage, but the mental - as well as the physical - must be conceded to, or active with that desire in the general physical forces of body.
6. We are through with this reading.

BACKGROUND

1. See previous rdgs. for optic nerve blindness. He had spent some time at Cayce Hospital.
2. 7/29/30 Letter: "I arrived home safely and found my family all well but very disappointed because I did not stay, as my wife feels sure there is no cure for me unless I do stay there. Of course I feel the same way, as they do not want to give me the treatments here as they should be given... Please give me a ck. reading to see if I am still improving."

REPORTS

1. 8/06/30 Letter: "I rec'd your last reading last Monday, but I find that I cannot follow them out at home, especially since your friend Mr. Mohr paid me a visit Tuesday and he surely gave me a good talking to. He showed me where I was doing wrong and could not expect any results by staying here. He told me what he went through with, so if he could go through with all that I don't see why I should not be able to stay at the Cayce Hospital with all the good friends and kind treatments I received there. I'm certainly coming to stay this time, until I am able to see or else you tell there is no hope for me, which I am quite sure you never will. I am feeling fairly well; my sight remains the same, but know that I am not getting the proper treatments... I have written to Dr. Lydic to see if it is alright for me to come back."
2. 8/12/30 Mr. [287] wrote: "Your Mr. [2] told me this morning that he could sit on his front porch and see objects across the street in the evenings, but the bright sunlight still hurts his eyes."
3. 8/29/30 EC's to Mr. [287]: "Mr. [2] returned the first of the week - seems to be getting along very nicely. Of course, it's going to require some time for him to be perfectly normal. He was saying last night that he was able to distinguish lights, and at times was able to separate them where there were several in a row."
4. 9/01/30 EC gave him Ck. Physical 2-16.
