TEXT

1. EC: We have the body here, [543] - this we have had before. Now, as we find, conditions in the mental, the imaginative, and in the physical forces of the body are in a position that, with the continued attitude mentally and imaginatively, with the physical applications, we will rid the body of those disorders as have disturbed the body.
2. There are indications that the eliminations as are produced by the over-activities in some functioning organs of the system produce disturbances as yet. This, as we find, in the present, is produced by the after-effects of over or excess amount of bromides in the system. We will find that to counteract these in the present, and leaving off these now entirely, that were [if] small quantities - those that will well assimilate - of olive oil taken [it would be helpful] - Now, because it makes her feel fatter, or fuller, don't discontinue it, but take small quantities of olive oil - SUFFICIENT, however, that these will act as eliminants for the body, and when there is a tendency for the activities of the alimentary canal to be slow, take small or broken doses of Castoria - until there is a full activity from the liver, no matter if it requires two or three, or four bottles - but ONE should be sufficient, taking half a teaspoonful every fifteen to twenty minutes - see?
3. Also, for the excess of bromides - the balance in the system - (while these will produce [reactions?] at periods taken especially just before the periods for eliminations) - take small doses or quantities of iodine in the Atomidine form. Take three to five drops, three to four times a day. Take this five to six days, see? Then REST three to four days, then begin again.
4. Keep up those properties [Passion Flower] as are given for the eradication of those conditions as have been so oft described for the body. Ready for questions.
5. (Q) What quantities of olive oil?
   (A) Teaspoonful at the time.
6. (Q) How often?
   (A) Small quantities, just as the body will assimilate same. If belching comes from same, stop it or reduce it.
7. (Q) Will one osteopathic treatment a week be sufficient?
   (A) Provided there's enough of time given for that treatment, be BETTER for a while!
8. (Q) Are these being given correctly?
   (A) These are very good, but insist upon a thorough general treatment, with specific attention to those centers as have to do with the coordination of the sympathetic and cerebro- spinal system; that is, in this particular body, under the present conditions, the 4th dorsal, the 12th dorsal, the 4th and 5th dorsal, the cervicals - especially in the 4th and 5th. Of course, lumbar - 12th dorsal, 9th dorsal, 3rd and 4th dorsal, 4th and 5th cervical.
9. (Q) What is the cause and remedy for breaking out on hands?
   (A) As soon as we clarify the blood supply and get this excess of drosses out of the system, this will disappear. To attempt to drive same in, while we do not want it to become an irritation to the body by worrying it mentally, as well as of a worriment to the blood supply, but Cuticura ointment would be the better to ALLAY the scaly effect until the blood supply is clarified. Hence the amount of the Castoria as necessary at times to make proper evacuations or eliminations of the colon, and the liver, and the whole of the intestinal system.
   Would be well that the body TAKES its normal rest, not too late at night - and at least rest an hour in the day, or during the day.
10. (Q) What can body do to help increase circulation?
    (A) Would be well that soon of a morning, EARLY, the body gets up and takes a good long walk. Eat half a lemon before going out for the walk, and eat the rest when you get back! This will increase eliminations and circulation!
11. (Q) How much of Dr. James' medicine should be taken in connection with Mayblossom Bitters? [The passion flower compound as recommended in Life Rdg. 543-11.]
    (A) As has been given, if we are going to take these others, let's leave it off entirely!
12. (Q) Are the arch supporters beneficial?
    (A) These are beneficial, but if the proper osteopathic adjustments are given for these conditions it will be better than ALL the arch supporters!
13. (Q) What causes the body to have so much mucus accumulate in the mouth?
    (A) Excess of these of the bromides in the system. These are secretions from the glands, especially from those of the thyroid - which makes for that stinging in the throat at times, for that choking feeling or sensation as comes at times. With the clarifying - Don't expect all this to be done in a moment, but with the clarifying of the system, we will find these will disappear.
14. We are through with this Reading.

BACKGROUND

REPORTS

1. 10/23/31 EC's letter to Mr. [1212]:
   Thank you very much for yours of the 17th, with enclosure. I certainly believe that [543] is looking AND feeling much better. No doubt you noticed in the information that with gradually leaving off the bromides there would be a return of some attacks. A few of these have shown up, but have gradually gotten less and less. She seems much brighter, much better satisfied, much more interested in life in every phase - and I just pray and trust that we may soon see her coming into her own. I have asked Sister to write you directly. I told her what you said about the medicine from Dr. James, and she no doubt will write you at length about [543]'s condition.
   Assuring you of our love, and desire to help - with all good wishes - I am,
   Ever the same, EC:GD
2. 11/03/31 Letter:
   My Dear Mr. Cayce:
   [543] writes that you are expected home tomorrow, I trust that you had a good trip to New York. [543] writes that she wants a reading when you return, which I hope you will give if you think proper.
   (CONFIDENTIAL)
   [543] has written to know if she can come home JUST TO ATTEND a wedding of one of her friends, we do not think it would be well for her, as they have so much GOING and so much excitement, to say nothing of the cost of the trip, for it means, I will have to come for her, and take her back, which is not convenient, besides she will want to come home for Xmas, which would be just a few weeks after the wedding. I know that she will not care to come if you advise her against coming, WHICH I HOPE YOU WILL DO. And we will suggest that she be guided by your advice.
3. 11/03/31 Miss [543]'s mother wrote EC a similar letter to above one from Mr. [1212].
4. 11/24/31 See 543-15.
