TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here - this we have had before. Now, we find the general conditions of the body are much better than when we had these before. While there are disturbing elements in and with the physical forces, these have rather to do with other elements than that as caused distress before.
2. In the general disturbance, this produced by the inability of the system to produce that which causes assimilation for the body, and the inability of the system to produce sufficient of the lacteals to bring the proper reaction with the food or properties taken in system. The continual re-occurrence, or to allow this to remain for any length of time, would prove detrimental in other directions. Hence we would create for the system that which will bring a nearer normal reaction in the system from those centers that assist the body in creating the gastric juices, as well as keeping same near nominal in balance. Hence there must be sufficient stimulation for the salivary glands. There must be proper stimulation for the cardiac, as well as pyloric end of the stomach, and that which will not overbalance the system either toward too acid or too alkaline reaction; for the system tends towards the acid. Hence the constant disturbance as is seen, and the inactivity of the lower portion of the digestive system, especially in the intestinal digestion, that must nominally take place.
3. We would, then, with the stimulation osteopathically of the centers from the cervicals - where the reactions from the sensory and sympathetic system coordinate with the cerebro-spinal, through the hypogastrics, also through those of the 6th and 7th dorsals, as well as a stimulation of those centers in 9th, 10th and 12th dorsals, osteopathically. Take these EVERY DAY until there is a SETTLING, as it were, of the stimulation, increased by this manipulation, to the gastric juices of the stomach.
4. Take small quantities of equal parts limewater and cinnamon water, see - equal parts. About a teaspoonful - (half teaspoonful of each) - in two glasses of water.
5. Well, too, that occasionally that of Golden Seal be given in a mild form. The active principle of this, as seen, is as an astringent and as an effective issue for conditions as exist in the lining of the stomach itself proper; is to PREVENT temperature, or to intestinally produce better reaction with the blood supply, as is called there through the condition as is existent.
6. After these have been taken; that is, that as given - the limewater and cinnamon water, and Golden Seal occasionally (once or twice a day) - after two to three days, begin with Phillip's Milk of Magnesia - teaspoonful at a dose, but take it about every two hours until there is a full reaction from same throughout the intestinal system.
7. Continue the manipulations until the body is THOROUGHLY in accord with the vibrations set up. Necessitating, then, fifteen to eighteen such treatments. After the first six to eight, these may be taken every other day. Do that. Ready for questions.
8. (Q) Should the body be given any nourishment? and what?
   (A) That that is most easily assimilated with the conditions existent. That is, as is seen, necessarily changes would be taking place with these vibrations as would be set up by the properties as are given. Those of gruels and of WHOLE gruel would be the better until the condition is nearer nominal. That of any strained vegetable soup, or broth, would be well, just so it is STIMULATING to the system, getting the strength without the action of the coarser portions of same, save as of gruels. We are through for the present.

REPORTS

1. 11/02/28 Father [287]'s letter: "[1866] is improving fast in the last few days and she has taken your treatment to the letter, as I guess you knew she would."
2. 11/14/28 (Wednesday) [1866]'s letter to EC:
   My dear Mr. Cayce:-
   Guess I will have to come to you once more! It seems as if I can not get over this stomach disturbance. I have followed your treatment, and have had 19 osteopath treatments. I HAVE BEEN feeling much better in EVERY way EXCEPT stomach and that is just as bad as ever. Right now I am just miserable again in every way. I would be glad if you would check up on me again. Find out:
   a. What is wrong with stomach & what caused this trouble. b. What medicines, how much & how often. c. Should I go on with treatments - and are they being properly given. d. Is a strict diet necessary & for how long.
   We thought of you last Sunday. Would have liked to have been there. Surely wish you success.
   I will be home Sat. - Nov. 17 - afternoon, Sunday afternoon - Monday morning - Tuesday morning. If this is not convenient, you can wire me.
   Your last reading said from 15 to 18 treatments, so guess maybe I am getting discouraged altho I have gone to the best Osteopath in town.
   Best regards to Mrs. Cayce and the boys - yours [1866]
