1. EC: We have the body here. This we have had before. Now, the reoccurrence of these conditions as cause distress, in that the headaches continue, the nausea, and bitterness arises in system, are the result of those conditions as has been given as arising from time to time when the body was under stress or strain, either from the physical or mental; yet the physical or pathological conditions as resultant from these are under those strains as will be assisted or aided by those administrations for the conditions as has been outlined. We would, then, administer those properties and those packs [Epsom Salts?] as have been given, when such conditions arise, keeping the body as quiet as possible until there is sufficient time for proper reaction or retraction in the system. Do that. Ready for questions.
2. (Q) What will cure condition of eyes? Does she need change of glasses?
   (A) Change glasses. Natural reaction of nerve strain produces condition, the age also, and the usages to which they have been put. A natural resultant effect of changing conditions, and will be aided by the change of glasses, also by those things as have been given for the resuscitating of nerve energy in the system, and aided and abetted by those applications as have been given, would they but be [if they would but be] applied for the nervous system.
3. (Q) Where is best place to go for rest?
   (A) Where the body chooses. Anywhere the surroundings will be that within keeping with those that are necessary for the body to gain easily its normal reaction, physically and mentally.
4. (Q) Would it be benefited by living with daughter in Jersey? [Mrs. [459] & family?]
   (A) These conditions would be helpful and be detrimental also. These should be chosen by the body, for these have to do with many varying conditions as arise in the physical and MENTAL attributes of the body.

BACKGROUND

REPORTS

1. 5/27/29 "I was so ill. You had said you would give me a rdg. soon, and it was soon. Well, I did the usual things and after a week of hard struggle I am up and about again. Thanks so very much for the help and inspiration that you gave me. There are so many things to do and think of, I really can not do them. [257] wanted me to go with him to visit you, but I knew that I had not the strength to do so, as I travel so poorly, and not having eaten anything for a week I was afraid to take the trip, but as soon as [460] gets out of school I will be more satisfied to go and leave [563]. It seems there is always something to do or wait for, and now not being strong I really do not care to go anywhere."
2. 6/24/29 Reply to Cayce Hospital questionnaire: "The Edgar Cayce suggestions were carried out in full and I will say that they always give me the desired relief, as the doctor's medicine never helps me. The hot water and Epsom Salts bath is my standby when used as he [Edgar Cayce] suggested. Instead of calling in the doctor I ask Mr. Cayce for a reading. His suggestions do me more good.
   "I hope to visit the Cayce Hospital soon. With best wishes for your success in the wonderful work of building the hospital for the good of all mankind, I remain, your patron Mrs. [325]."
3. 7/07/29 See 325-27.
