TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body, [480]; this we have had before.
2. As we find, conditions are developing rather normally.
3. There should be those precautions as to kidney reactions - as related to the blood pressure or blood supply and the whole of the hepatic circulation.
4. Then, the suggestions would be that the manipulations be given in such a manner as to stimulate this activity; as well to take precautions about pressures through the colon area - as the days develop that a greater pressure is made in the abdominal areas.
5. We would leave off the Codiron at the present, or make it much farther apart - taking about once or twice a week, and doing this up until about the last month.
6. And as an addition for the calcium in the bone developments, we would add Calcios; not only for this body but to supply the lack because of the draining upon same through the growth of those influences within.
7. Then these as we find, with the stimulations, would keep nearer to normal for the blood supply.
8. Ready for questions.
9. (Q) My breath seems short in the mornings. Why and what can be done for same?
   (A) As we find, this is not an abnormalcy; nor should there be any particular anxiety. It is rather the body- consciousness gaining its equilibrium for the physical activities after the periods of rest, or with the beginning of its period of exercise as it were. But with the better balance in the blood PRESSURE, this should be relieved to some extent - or much more easily would it become normal in its wakening.
10. (Q) Should blood pressure respond soon and become normal?
    (A) As has been indicated, this must be cared for through those activities of the physician's service for the body, see? As indicated, this may be stimulated by the CHARACTER of the osteopathic manipulations; as well as by the changing to a greater quantity of ABSORBABLE calcium in the system - through Calcios.
11. (Q) Any other suggestions regarding osteopathic treatments?
    (A) These we have given.
    Do these and as we find we will keep the better, nearer normal forces for this body.
12. (Q) Any other advice for the body at this time?
    (A) Do these at this time, as we find; keeping, of course, the mental attitude in as near the cheerful reactions as is possible.
13. We are through with this Reading.

2. 6/28/38 "I ordered the Calcios and I am sure it will do me as much good as the Codiron when I start taking it. I am feeling better. I have a medical doctor as obstetrician because Daddy wanted me to [Dr. Curhan]. This doctor nevertheless approves of osteopathic treatments which I am getting from Dr. John R. Thompson... [She requested 633-11 for husband.]
   "O, Mr. Cayce, how I wanted to be with you for a little to talk with you. I know there are a lot of questions I could clear up for myself.
   "Thank you for your patience."
