TEXT

1. GC: You will give me the physical condition of this body at the present time, with suggestions for further corrective measures; answering the questions, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [1956], this we have had before.
3. AS we find, there are great improvements from those conditions as we have had here before. While there are periods when there is the reverting to some tendencies of old disturbances, owing to weaknesses and the lack of keeping properly balanced in the chemical reactions of the body, we find that we would keep good conditions for this body if there would be the occasional use of those applications as we have suggested.
4. For instance - now - we would have an occasional osteopathic adjustment; that is, once a month, or oftener if it is found needed - by the one making the adjustments.
5. But at least once a month have a good, deep treatment; relaxing and stimulating (for both characters of treatments are needed) through the lumbar and sacral areas, or the back - that at times across the kidney areas and below gives some disturbance. Also stimulate the circulation through the throat and the head.
6. Then, if there are the needs for those properties indicated to be taken when such treatments are given, use same for a short period.
7. These are the manners to eliminate not only the effects of the disturbing conditions but also the causes.
8. Ready for questions.
9. (Q) Do I have to watch my diet as closely as I did at first?
   (A) Not so closely, but it will be found that when there is a reverting to those things that do not supply sufficient elements, disturbances arise. Hence we would watch the diet rather well.
10. (Q) How is my back?
    (A) Better, as has been indicated; but with the adjustments once a month or th like, or twice during one month rather close together, these should keep much better conditions.
11. (Q) How is my throat?
    (A) Much better.
12. (Q) Heart?
    (A) This shows an irregularity, but very good - much better than it has been.
13. (Q) Lungs?
    (A) Lungs are very well.
14. (Q) Any further advice?
    (A) Do those things indicated, and we will keep the better normal conditions for this body.
15. We are through with this Reading.

REPORTS

1. 5/15/41 EC's letter to [1956]:
   Dear Mr. [1956]
   Was real glad to hear from you again - and would judge from the information - you were behaving yourself very well. Do hope tho you are feeling pretty good, and trust the suggestions will help.
   We recently spent two weeks in N.Y. as you gathered from the letter from Hugh Lynn - was kept busy all the while - and are most of the time.
   Yes - have several friends who get regular check ups. They say it keeps them going, and if they believe it strong enough - guess it helps.
   Hear from May and Will [McPherson] now and then - keep a weather eye on them and let me hear now and then.
   Remember us to Mrs. [2293] - be glad to try and help at any time.
   Hoping to have been of a help.
   Sincerely [signed] Edgar Cayce
2. 7/12/41 Letter: "Am feeling fine."
3. 9/02/41 [1956]'s letter to EC:
   Arctic Crescent Virginia Beach, Va.
   ... St. Nashville Tenn.
   Dear Mr. Cayce:
   I am writing you for a check reading.
   I have VARICOSE VEINS.
   I have been advised by a good surgeon to have them operated on.
   #1. What is your advice, would the operation be successful?
   #2. If the operation was successful, would I later on in life, have any trouble caused form the operation?
   #3. If you don't advise the operation, then what would you advise me to do about these VARICOSE VEINS? #4. I still at times have trouble with my back, just below my belt. Please tell me the cause, and what to do about it?
4. 9/10/41 See 1956-5.
