TEXT

1. JTM: Tell us what is the cause of her weakened condition, the weakened condition of her body.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here. Now, these are conditions as we find here in this body, Mrs. [247], we are speaking of:
3. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, we find the vitality rather low in the rebuilding force, not so much from the condition of the blood itself as by congestion that causes the channels of circulation to be slow in their action, or the retarding of the circulation, and forcing of the heart action to carry on the circulation, see? This makes the weakness of the whole system and gives the tired feeling to the body, see? This is rather of the arterial condition than of the vein forces themselves. The white blood and leukocyte forces lose much of the vitality in attempting to assist in carrying out the office of the circulation through the whole system. With the change or the equalization of the circulation, we would find that the vitality may be recuperated and give more force to the system throughout.
4. THE NERVE FORCES, are depleted, though strong in their action over the whole body.
5. THE FUNCTIONINGS OF THE ORGANS, of the system are good and above the normal in their capacity, with the age or condition of the physical forces of this body, see? as we have through the mental and spiritual forces the strong development of that force that carries on the conditions through the physical, see? The physical only suffers from the congestion in the membranous conditions of the system that affect the circulation through the white blood and lymphatic circulation. This unequalizing of the circulation produces the condition we find in the body, see?
6. TO GIVE THIS BODY THE VITAL FORCES NECESSARY, to overcome the condition, and to make the balance between the functioning of organs of the system and of the blood supply, and to relieve this weakened condition, do this:

   Tincture of Valerian............2 ounces,
Bromide of Potassium............2 grains,
Bromide of Soda.................2 grains,
Sodium Bicarbonate.............10 grains,
Elixir Calisaya.................1 ounce,
Capsicum........................1 grain,
Spirits Frumenti sufficient
to make......................8 ounces.

   The dose would be a teaspoonful three times each day before meals.
7. For the vibration to make the equalization of the circulation:
8. Take one bar of steel one-half inch flat, a quarter inch thick, three inches long. To the end attach a copper wire of sufficient length to attach to the ankle of this body, you see, with a small plate, silver or copper. Of evenings, or when the body is tired or feels worn, drop the bar in a gallon to a gallon and a half of very cold water, or ice. Attach the bar to the wire, the wire to the plate, and the plate to the ankle. Let it remain thirty to forty minutes, or an hour won't be too long. It is for the body when the body feels tired. It may be attached to the wrist instead of the ankle if the body so desires. [Radio-Active Appliance?]
9. (Q) Mr. Cayce, what causes the streaks of colors that pass over the eyes, streaks like lightning?
   (A) The nerve forces, with the vibration being of the improper length in the body, see? With the condition as we have just given, with those things affected passing through the nervous system, there would be produced to the other organs of the system just those vibrations needed, you see.
10. (Q) Have you anything further to say about this body, Mr. Cayce?
    (A) Do this as we have given. Keep close. The body always must keep the feet warm, you see, so we will keep away the congestion in the system and not cause more of the mucous giving forces in the body, see? Give the stimulus as we have given here, both for the nerves and the circulation in the body, to equalize the circulation in the body. Do that. We are through.

BACKGROUND

1. 4/13/23 Her son-in-law, Mr. [4278], and her daughter, Mrs. [4276], requested a Physical Rdg. for Mrs. [247], saying: "Mother [247] has low blood pressure and suffers much from a feeling of coldness, even in warm weather."

REPORTS

1. 2/18/27 Her son-in-law, Mr. [4278] wrote: "Old Mother [247] is with us, now 79 yrs. old and feels fine and dandy."
2. 7/11/34 He wrote: "I will get home this week-end to spend a day with the wife and Mother [247], who has been constantly with us for many years; she is now 86 and is not very well, though her mind is clear as a bell, and she is very happy."
3. 8/02/39 He wrote: "Mother [247] went to [..., Tex.] to visit her son, Dr. [...], July 1938; fell and broke her hip and has never been able to come home; she has lived with us here nearly 20 yrs."
4. 1/08/44 He wrote: "Mother [247] passed away Dec. 24, 1939; she was past 91. Do you remember the rdg. you gave her for low pulsation? You said tie a copper wire to a steel rod, drop in cold or ice water, tie the other end to her ankle or wrist. She did, and in 30 minutes she was warm and perspiring; she never did complain any more about being cold, except when the weather was really cold. That was a good one."
5. 9/11/70 GD's note: I remember Edgar Cayce telling about the above case. When Mrs. [247] started jumping out of bed and untying the appliance, saying she was getting too hot, her doctor son said to her, "Why, Mother, that is just pure imagination!" Mrs. [247] replied, "Well, then, just please God give me some more imagination!" [1/03/35 See EC's letter, describing the incident, under 638-2, Par. R7.]
