TEXT

1. EC: Now, with the conditions as exist with this body - these, while on the improve, show that the taxation of the system may be MADE TOO severe. These cause retractions in the system, as has been seen particularly with the vision - when there was applied those vibratory forces as would enliven or aid the optic forces in the activities of the centers from the dorsal and cervical region, produced irritation. This NOT harmful, but with the reaction came those of the nerves showing that there was the activity of the forces. Will these only be applied, then, in the manner as given - that is, the manipulations as come toward the body - let those also from the head to the central portion of the body be towards the central nerve system, following ALL lines from face, head, neck, TO the CENTRAL portion of system. Also using a weak solution of an antiseptic for the eyes of a morning, will assist in clarifying this condition. Keep the eliminations. Be mindful of the diet. We are through with this reading.

REPORTS

1. 3/16/30 Mrs. [120]'s ltr. to EC: "A resume of events, all of which seem to have terminated unfortunately inasmuch as I could not remain at the Cayce Hospital, owing to my inability to reach the treatment rooms. We stopped on our way west to visit my oculist who was familiar with the principle of the use of radium on the eyes and knew of the inventor of device you gave me. He said it had not yet been perfected, that no permanent harm had been done to my eyes, that it had upset their focus and that it would take many months to regain it and while they are better than when I saw you last I am still far from being able to use them as I did. We find this constant sunshine and dry air of the desert [Tucson, Arizona] very pleasant and ten days of our sojourn here is showing improvement in my condition. The doctor is giving me nothing but sun light, starting with five minutes a day increasing gradually. I shall hope to hear from you and rest assured we appreciate your great gift and hope that as time goes on your great work will continue to grow. If we can serve you in any way please let us know." [Other parts of the letter dealt with report on following treatments in reading for her granddaughter, Miss [5550].]
2. 8/11/30 Husband [119]'s ltr.: "Mrs. [120] has continued to improve since our return to N.Y. from Los Angeles; she is now walking up and down stairs with very little assistance as well as moving around the house and grounds, has a much improved appetite and feeling quite her old self mentally. She sends her love."
3. 2/01/31 Ltr. re. granddaughter [5550]: "...You see how much better I am, riding all over the country, going to dinners, theaters, opera, etc. Your diagnosis was positively correct but the treatment was not. We talk of you a great deal."
