TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body, [1433].
2. As we find, there are improvements in the GENERAL physical forces of the body.
3. However, there is still a great deal to be desired, in bringing back normal activity - or normal responses to impulses that arise in the ATTEMPTED activity; owing to the great disturbances which have existed and do exist, owing to the pressures that have been partially relieved, and the lack of the proper coordinating forces with the nerve system and nerve responses of the body - owing to the poisons of the system by those activities which have been heretofore indicated.
4. Then, as we find, it would be very well that the Appliance be kept for the body.
5. When there is the lack of the eliminations, it would be well that the enemas be used; as well as the application of Epsom Salts - not necessarily so warm or hot during the very warm weather, as to become uncomfortable by the production of rash or heat (from the lack of the body-eliminations) through the perspiratory system. But these kept will be found to ease, and to bring better relief for the body.
6. We would keep the manipulative forces OSTEOPATHICALLY, about twice a week; stimulating especially the eliminating forces from the 5th and 6th dorsal to the lower portion of the lumbar area. These, of course, would be kept in coordinant activity.
7. In the application of the Sinusoidal treatments, we find that these have NOT at each time been given as we have indicated. Too oft have these been allowed to run too high.
8. The manner - that is, the mode or places of application - is very well; but not so high a current, see? For with the weakness, these tend to make for hardships upon the body.
9. Keep in the open as much as possible.
10. Keep the attitudes for CONSTRUCTIVE thinking as in relationships to others, as well as a purposeful activity of a constructive nature; NOT of self or selfish purposes.
11. Do these and we will keep the better forces for this body.
12. Ready for questions.
13. (Q) Should I continue with the Sinusoidal treatments?
    (A) As just indicated, WELL to continue, but NOT too high in the voltage used!
14. (Q) What about the length of time used?
    (A) That is very well, but NOT so high a voltage used!
15. (Q) Still suffer with my arms and shoulders and sciatic nerves, shaking.
    (A) As indicated, use the Epsom Salts Packs; not so hot as to be uncomfortable or as to cause a rash, but as outlined.
16. We are through with this Reading

   THE ... HOTEL Mrs. [...], Mgr. ..., Alabama
   Dear Mr. Cayce:-
   Enclosed find check for "check reading". I would like to have this as SOON AS POSSIBLE anytime except TUESDAY & FRIDAY MORNINGS. I go to Mobile for my Osteopathic treatment. I haven't been getting along as I should for could not get the Sinusoidal treatments given properly and have just had to do without them.
   The operator of the machine knew more about what I needed than we did and the treatments pained me so badly I had to stop. My nerves are so stubborn, I have been taking castor oil every two & three days, is that too often and right. Should the Salts packs be continued and how often.
   Should the Battery be continued or with the same machine.
   Shall I continue the Torris [Toris] root mixture.
   Shall I continue the TWO Osteopathic Treatments a week.
   Is there any other Sinusoidal machine in Mobile except the one I tried to get treatment with Dr. Curtis. What other suggestions for me to get well. Is there any thing we can do, or are not doing.
   What is the best thing to relieve me, that will not make against my condition, that I can take or do, when I have acute spells of tightening, stiffening & acute suffering of my whole body, especially my arms, and cannot sleep at night.
   Is there any thing I can do to get more strength in my legs and arms.
   Is the eggnog I take injurious.
   Is not the load of worry I am laboring under keeping me down.
   Would it not be best to avoid this law suit that seems inevitable and get rid of it, or best to let it alone at this time. Please tell me what IS THE BEST THING FOR ME, to do. I want to get well.
   Would Simmons' Liver Regulator be of any help to me.
   Please any information that will help me in any way.
   My tongue gets so thick at times I can't talk to hardly be understood.
   I do thank you for all the help and comfort and encouragement you have given me and pray God to strengthen you and yours in your wonderful work. I beg to remain
   Your sincere friend
