TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [1117]; this we have had before.
2. The physical disturbances as we find show for an improvement. By the relaxing of the system through those applications that have been made, there has been alleviated much of the dross from the system and thus alleviating or relieving the pressure upon the nerve forces as disturbed before these relaxations and eliminations were effective.
3. As indicated, in the locomotary centers, in shoulders, in the lower limbs, there are the effects of infectious forces that arise from a disturbance in the circulation; the elimination being the basic disturbance of same.
4. Hence we find that with the continuing of the activity through the organs of the assimilating and eliminating forces, as the spleen, the pancreas, the liver, and especially those activities of the gall duct, there will continue to be the improvements as to eliminate the causes of the disturbances. For these are a form of neuritis that arises from the toxic forces; the basic forces being through those portions of the system as we have indicated.
5. As we find, in aiding the activity of the organs as indicated, the use of the Alcaroid and the Caroid Bile Salts tablets in the present would be more effective for THIS system.
6. Hence, first there should be the mindfulness of the diets, that there are no special quantities of fats or of those that would produce an excess of these for the system. Also there should be an excess of the alkalin-reaction kept in the diet, so that the alkalinity may be kept normal, while these properties are being taken in the system:
7. Especially after the evening meal, then, take half a teaspoonful of the Alcaroid in a glass of water; first dissolved in a small quantity, then filling the glass, then drinking another glass of water after same.
8. About once or twice a week for two or three weeks, and then leave off for a period of like time, we would take two Caroid and Bile Salts tablets about an hour AFTER the morning meal, and two tablets before retiring at night.
9. As we find, these will aid in making for eliminations to be nearer normal; keeping down those tendencies for the activities that produce pressures through alimentary canal, gas, pressure upon the kidneys and bladder, and the distresses in the extremities.
10. Also we would continue with the massage and neuropathic treatments or adjustments.
11. The oil rubs we would continue also.
12. Ready for questions.
13. (Q) Why does mucous drop from behind my palate into my throat?
    (A) This will subside with the changing of the circulation, especially if the neuropathic treatments that have been indicated are more for a stimulation of the kidney activity and for drainages to be set up through the lower cervical and throughout the dorsal forces of the body.
14. (Q) Any change in diet?
    (A) This only as has been indicated.
15. We are through with this reading.

REPORTS

1. 12/31/36 [1117]'s letter to EC:
   Dear Mr. Cayce:
   I am writing you for you to please give me a check up. I am suffering from my nerves. Thursday of last week I was constipated. I went to stool, I strained some, I felt something above the pubic bone perhaps tear loose or something of the kind.
   I have so much faith in you I feel like you can help me. I feel like you are one of God's chosen children, you having such perfect faith in God you can help me through him, I have had such sorry help. This winter has made it hard on me. I have a splendid cook now, shall have a good rest.
   Mr. Cayce will you please let me know when you can give me the check up, the day and hour so I can be alone in prayer. I enjoyed your extracts in the last bulletin so much I do try to live a Christian life. We all have our ups and downs.
2. 1/07/37 [1117]'s letter to EC:
   ..., Alabama
   Dear Mr. Cayce:
   I am in receipt of your letter written the fourth. I am feeling some better. I am so glad and thankful to be able to write you this. My trouble seems to be constipation and nervousness. You helped me so much last year, oh! how I do appreciate what you did. In the morning, when I wake up and get up, I am so lame in my left hip, but just as soon as I walk around, disappears, I am all right. Then, never feel it any more 'til next A.M., just before I get up. I still keep up my exercise, have for the last year, I mean I take them by my self. I had trouble with my eyes last fall, Optometrist said it was caused from poisons in my system. Dr. had me take Calomel, lot of liver medicine so they are all o.k. It is so hard to keep my liver active and gall bladder functioning. The 11th, that will be next Monday, from 2:30 to 3:30 I'll be home in a prayerful mood.
