TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [102], - this we have had before.
2. The general physical conditions show improvement throughout. There needs be, for the better physical condition of the body, that there be precautions taken as respecting the character and kind of exercises, that there is not - with the strains as have existed in system - the setting up of any character of condition through strain, through the falling of any of the organs in system, that there be accumulations of pus or of poisons stoppages in system; keeping the body well balanced as for the assimilations of same, that there may not be an unbalancing or an incoordination through the glands, or through the system in its general make-up for the building in the system.
3. Let those tendencies in diet be toward those of sufficient or above the ordinary amounts of iodine producing foods, and of some calcium. Not too much potash; not too much of condiments that STIMULATE any of the glands or secretions in same.
4. The portions of system where healing going on, we find the blood stream shows that there are sufficient of those forces in the coagulating elements in system being produced. These others, then, are as precautions. Ready for questions.
5. (Q) When can this body return to the work of practicing osteopathy?
   (A) In a week or ten days. Begin in a MILD manner. Do not attempt to go night and day, nor to overtax self by too heavy work; for OSTEOPATHY is real work, if done properly.
6. (Q) Is the body now strong enough to play golf and tennis?
   (A) Strong enough, just so the body does not tire self out as to DEPLETE system through the tiring of muscular forces, so that strains are easily made in conditions in system where coagulations are necessary. The body would understand this. Stop before it gets too tired, but the MOVEMENTS are well - that the muscular forces be brought into their normal activity. Just don't OVERDO it.
7. (Q) Is it desirable to further increase the weight and how can this best be done?
   (A) It will do it without any desiring, if it will keep the right balance in the system! Just don't OVERDO it! That's why the precautions are given as to keeping the equilibrium BETWEEN the coordinating forces of the system, and the tendencies are to those of the iodine and calcium and not too much of the potash nor condiments, which would produce or bring about the tendency to produce too much weight in PLACES, and not general. Let's build it up all over. Be a pretty good size man!
8. That is all the questions regarding this body.
9. We are through with this reading.

REPORTS

1. 7/17/30 Letter: "I am now back in my office for the first time since March, and I am so happy to be here again. My health is fine - I feel quite well in all respects and hope to regain my practice in a short while.
   "I simply connot express my thanks for all the wonderful things you have done for me. My stay at the [Cayce] Hospital was a Godsend - I picked up so much valuable strength. It was also wonderful for my wife."
2. 7/23/30 Letter: "I will always be interested in Cayce Hospital and if your plans change and you need me down there I hope you will call on me."
3. 8/01/30 Letter: "I am glad to report to you that I am now in perfect health. My stay at Cayce Hospital was a perfect follow-up for the marvelous work the surgeons did on me. I gained health, weight and strength and I now am blessed with a wealth of nervous reserve and energy. I am taking care of my practice here and Mr. Cayce said in a reading once [102-3, Par. 5-A] that osteopathy is hard work!
   "But the most wonderful thing that the readings did for me was to turn the tide when I lay near death in the hospital. I had been operated on and four surgeons said I would die because of a ruptured appendix, peritonitis, gangrene and typhoid fever. They told my wife and mother that I 'did not want to live.' A reading via telephone from Mr. Cayce [102-1] gave my physical condition and said that my life would be saved by 'will, determination and the prayers of many.' I was barely conscious but my mother read this to me and I did begin to fight. And within a few hours there were four clergymen of three faiths asking for Divine aid. That was the turning point - and I have been going upward ever since.
   "And so you may know that I am very grateful to Mr. Cayce and will always be keenly interested in the [Cayce] Hospital and the work."
4. 3/24/31 Dr. [102] secured a Life Reading for his baby daughter, [1923].
5. GD's note: Dr. [102] treated many people who went to him with EC readings and always reported favorable results.
6. 4/03/34 Letter: "Your letter of March 29th received and am surprised that you feel you need to ask me if you may use the letter I wrote in 1930. Of course you may use it [in A.R.E. Bulletin report], and my name too if you like. My wife and mother were told that I had no chance to live; all the usual medical signs pointed toward an unfavorable prognosis. Yet I did recover and am now in perfect health. However, I must tell you frankly that I divide the credit; I believe that my recovery was due to osteopathic treatment and the ministrations coming through Mr. Cayce."
7. 4/23/34 Letter offered to talk at A.R.E. June Congress on the subject of osteopathy.
8. 9/14/44 Wife's letter: "It has been many years since we had so many happy and interesting times at Cayce Hospital. [102] and I often think and speak of you.
   "[102] has not been well lately and having so much faith in you I am asking that you give him a reading."
   [GD's note: Of course EC was ill himself at this time and was not able to make an appointment.]
9. 5/60 A.R.E. mailing to [102] was returned marked DECEASED.
