Present: Edgar Cayce; A. D. Butler, Conductor; Fay Autry, Steno.

TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have had this body before. Now the condition is different in some respects since last we had it, yet there are some following or caused by the condition that has existed in the body from time back, and are produced by the condition existing in the body when we had it before. The nerve forces we find are under the same general strain as when we had them before, yet we find at this time more of a debility through the digestive forces, and the strain on the pneumogastric system aggravated through the secondary cardiac plexus to such an extent as to over-tax the heart forces, also prevents the circulation sufficiently to cause the nausea and the smothering, sinking spells under which the body is laboring. The actions of many of the organs are over-taxed through this condition and thus there is caused trouble throughout the body. We do not find organic trouble in the heart or the brain forces, but sufficient to produce the improper distribution of used forces, and sufficient to produce the improper distribution of used cellular force. The body is adjusting itself sufficiently to carry on the action, though, through improper co-ordination between the cerebro-spinal forces it becomes so aggravated that the body lives almost in dread of itself throughout the whole body.
2. To prevent temperature, which there is some at present, in this body, Miss [243], we are speaking of, we would these compound for the system so as to give correct incentive to the functioning of the secreted and excreted forces, and a stimulant throughout the viscera and to the pancrean forces diminishing the acid and producing more of a lactic state within the body itself and take this into the system:

   Podophylin.................10 grains,
Leptandrin..................5 grains,
Sanguinaria.................5 grains,
Dovers Powders..............3 grains.

   Mix well to-gether and put in 3 grain capsules. The dose will be one of these each evening.
3. For the nerve forces and to assist in allaying temperature and the feverish condition, as some of the properties as given, the laxative that has been given before, you see, take this:

   Tincture of Valerian........4 ounces,
Bromide of Potash.........1/2 ounce,
Elixir of Calisaya..........3 ounces,
Simple Syrup sufficient to make 8 ounces.

   Dose: Teaspoonful every four hours. Shake well before taking.
4. The body should have rest and open air, especially while taking these medicinal properties, then after some two or three days, after the medicinal properties have been taken, we would relax by osteopathic forces those conditions as found along the lower cervical and all the dorsal region. This portion of the body with the cervical should be treated so as to relax the condition. The lumbar, so manipulated as to produce more tautness about the pelvic organs.
5. Do this and we will find it will give the normal condition back to the body here, Miss [243].
