TEXT

1. GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find at the present time; giving the cause of the existing conditions, also suggestions for help and relief of this body. You will answer the questions that may be submitted, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes.
3. As we find, there is an infection from those conditions which have existed between the upper and the lower hepatic circulation.
4. These are rather deep-seated.
5. There is a disturbance with the functionings both of the upper and lower portions, and there are the inclinations or tendencies for the effect of poisons from these to produce the losing of the control of the mental and coordinant forces between the sympathetic and cerebrospinal nerve reactions for consciousness, - as well as those conditions of the GENERAL debilitations in the body.
6. As we find, we would have the deep osteopathic manipulations through the areas to start the better drainages, - also the application of hot and cold compresses on the abdomen or the area between the liver and the kidneys, both front and back. Have two to three applications of first hot, then cold compresses. These, AND the osteopathic manipulations would be given about twice a day.
7. We would do these, - with greater prayer, and the application of the hands of one so closely affiliated with the entity in its material activity.
8. These as we find would be those applications that would offer the better help and assistance for this body in the present. And the applications should be made before and after the Circle, and the prayer.
9. Ready for questions.
10. (Q) What is the source of infection?
    (A) As just indicated, - that incoordination between the liver and kidneys. Hence the toxic, and beginning of septic, poisoning.
11. We are through for the present.

3. 7/05/39 EC's ltr. to [1681]:
   Dear Mr. [1681]
   Have your wire of even date regards a reading for your self - of course we are glad to make an appointment and try and help - but am afraid Mr. [1681] it is a bad approach - to try and prove something to some one else. Am mighty sorry that Mrs. [...] [[1936]'s wife] is so skeptical as to need proof - and then to you know tho it may be proof to you - it will never be proof to her tho you get a reading describing all the ailments you have pictured to her. She will still feel there is a collision [collusion?] somewhere. But do hope Rev. [1936] will soon show signs for real improvement, and be restored to health and strength again if it be HIS will.
   The first open period we have Mr. [1681] is the morning of the 14th 10.30 to 11.30 E.S.T. - please note we go on standard time - believe you have Daylight saving time.
   Please let me know if that time will be satisfactory - and just where you will be at the time.
   Hoping to be of a real service
   Sincerely, [signed] Edgar Cayce
4. 7/06/39 [1681]'s ltr. to EC:
   Dear Mr. Cayce
   Following my wire of yesterday, here is my check for $20 for dues in connection with a physical reading for myself, in the hope of not only ridding my system of some pain, but, and more desirable it is to me, to convince Mrs. [...] that my persuasion is justified.
   Poor Soul: she wrote me yesterday that "I may come under the heading of 'Oh ye of little Faith', but I cannot see the way clear to take the steps - such radical steps". So I am more than anxious to do everything I can to help her and Mr. [1936]. Strangely enough, I cannot see where there is any radical change in the treatment you recommended. But the prayer and laying-on of hands seems to worry her - I think that is the trouble.
   Regards, [1681]
