Time and Place: Unknown. ..., Alabama.

TEXT

FEM: Now, Mr. Cayce, you are going to sleep. (Pause) Now, Mr. Cayce, you are asleep, and all of the organs of your body will function properly. You will hear me and answer all of my questions. You have tonight before you the body of Mrs. [2195], ... County, Alabama, and the body is at home. You will go over this body carefully, and give me all the abnormal conditions that you find within this body, and also give me the remedy to restore this body to normal action and health, and the necessary time for a cure; Mrs. [2195], ... County, Alabama.
EC: Yes, we have the body here. Now, there are some abnormal conditions in this body that have become the normal action to this body; yet there are many abnormal conditions that may be corrected in this body. They have to do with organic conditions and with the functioning of these organs and with the circulation and the attempt of this circulation throughout the system to eliminate and to create, as far as the natural forces from the body will allow, an equilibrium, or the physical and the soul forces are working well together, as would be in common parlance, to keep body and soul together. Now, these are conditions as we find in this body: The circulation, the blood force, carries much of the poisons in the system that should be eliminated through the intestinal tract, that is, the liver and the kidneys are in such a condition as to allow both the uric acid to be absorbed in the system, and also that as created by the liver to be taken in the circulation, and it has its effect over the system and presents to the body those conditions as shown through the extremities and through many of the muscular forces along the spine the pains as is termed or called rheumatic conditions existing in the muscular forces over the body. The action of this is to attempt to eliminate through its proper channels these poisons as taken in the system. Yet, we find first the troubles were begun in the form of indigestion as produced by too much of one diet to the system, and that containing too much fats that could not be absorbed by the amount of lactic fluids then contained in the body. So there was first a granular effect produced in the liver, the action to this to create an excitement to the mucus functioning organs of the intestine and liver, produced more acid than lactic force, and that begins with a hardened condition then of the lobes of the liver itself. Then that produced a functional organic condition. This in turn, acting through the hepatic circulation and lymphatic forces of the intestinal tract, acted directly to the kidneys, overloading them and causing the system to absorb these conditions back in the circulation, they then being thrown to the respiratory system, attempting to be eliminated through these channels. They brought then to the nerve centers, the lymphatic and emunctories the action as produced in congestion or rheumatic souls forces produced in the body. See?
FEM: Yes, sir.
This, of course, reflects through the nerve energy of each organ with the muscular and blood supply, acts on all of the organs of the body reflexly, the heart action becoming overheated at times and producing a pressure above the normal, the respiratory system being affected with the heat or temperature of the blood as carrying this force. The body resists through the good effect of the lung and air and the action of the mind in its determination to resist. These are the conditions as we find in this body.
(Q) Mr. Cayce, did you find any trouble in the bladder?
(A) Mr. Cayce, did you find any trouble in the bladder. The irritation from the action of the kidneys as we have given. There has too much been thrown on the kidneys to attempt to eliminate. This has produced, as we find, the condition that exists of an irritation that exists at times in the bladder.
(Q) Mr. Cayce what caused the constipation and the hurting of the stomach in this body?
(A) Mr. Cayce, what caused the constipation and the hurting of the stomach in this body. The condition that we have described that exists in the liver and throughout the hepatic circulation.
(Q) Mr. Cayce, what caused the broken veins to appear on the surface of this body?
(A) Mr. Cayce, what caused the broken veins to appear on the surface of this body. The same condition as we have given here, with the action of the blood forces carrying the conditions as we have given, and the attempt of the natural forces through the body to eliminate through the respiratory system, has produced the condition in the veins as they return. This, you see, was along the extremities, especially on the left limb.
(Q) Mr. Cayce, What caused this body's swelling, and the feet to swell?
(A) Mr. Cayce, what caused this body's swelling, and the feet to swell. Just as we have described. The lymphatic forces attempting to take care of and eliminate those conditions that exist as being produced by the poisons in the system. To assist this body and to bring it to its normal conditions as near as possible, - for there are some conditions that will not be entirely corrected, yet the body may have many years of usefulness through the physical force if these are applied in their proper manner, and in the way they should be, we would take this into the system:
To one gallon of water we would add:
This would be simmered, not boiled, until reduced to one quart. While warm, after straining, there would be added four ounces of Grain Alcohol, with six ounces of Cane Sugar, and three drams of Balsam of Tolu. The dose would be one dessert spoonful, four times each day. After the first quantity is taken into the system, we would then rest for five days. Then take this in the system: To one ounce of Toris Compound, we would add one pint of warm water, one half pint of Sherry or Wine or Cordial, and one ounce of syrup of Sarsaparilla. The dose of this would be a tablespoonful three times each day. Let the diet be that of vegetable matter, rather than of meats; all the time to eat what the body calls for, but not meats, nor not fat meats especially. If any is taken, let it be that of the sinew, rather than of the fat portions. See?
FEM: Yes, sir.
After this is taken in the system, then we would make another quantity of the first prescription as given. We will find this will relieve this body and bring it to a normal condition as near as will be possible on this plane. We are through.
Now, Mr. Cayce, you will forget all about this reading you have given. You are feeling all right, and all of the organs of your body will function properly. You are feeling splendid. Now, wake up in two minutes, feeling fine and all right, and free from headache.

The medicine she thinks helps her but she still has spells of rheumatism very severe especially in left side around heart. They get worse & am afraid she can't stand any more. Can you do any thing more or advise her. You said one prescription ought to stop or greatly relieve - does exposure or work cause spells or cause them in any way - spells come regularly about every 6 wks. but last was so bad 3 or 4 mo. she has not got over it & still has pains...

"Our hours for readings are 9:30 A.M., 3:30 P.M. Be sure to give your mother's full name and address, so that she may be located at the time the reading is taken.

"I must get some money for real estate and want to win some of the 'Ad' prizes in B'ham News. You may read the paper - I've told my sister Mrs. [...] to send you papers. Mr. Casey can't you go to sleep and read or see the ad that would take the weekly & final grand prize?
"Also can you while asleep see where I can invest in real estate & make some money. I am not able to work now but must make some. Please if possible do this for me and let me know at once. Thanking you so much. (Miss) [...], ... St., Birmingham, Ala. Auto Tires - Trunk, Luggage Co. - Red Diamond Coffee - & others are in contest All America Shoe Store - 1924 - 3rd Ave W. G. Patterson Cigar Co.
6/18/26 EC's ltr. to Daughter of [2195]: "...Yours of the 8th was forwarded to me here. I am certainly very glad to know that I was possibly of some service to your mother in the work that I tried to do for her. I shall be very glad, if it is possible, to be of some assistance, if same is in keeping with the kind of work I am trying to do. I am sending you one of the pamphlets also. You will see from same the kind of work and what I am trying to work toward. I am located now at Virginia Beach permanently, and shall be very glad to hear from you.
"I don't just get the idea of what it is you wish from your letter. I possibly will know more about it when I see the papers. As for investments in real estate, I believe that this place offers some of the most wonderful opportunities of anywhere in the country. My son is associated with a real estate company. You will, in all probability, hear from him. Of course it was a reading given on my own work - why I am located in this place, and of course in the information there was considerable said respecting real estate values.
"Thank you very much for your letter. I hope I may be of some service in some way..."
6/26/26 Daughter's ltr. to EC: "...Your letter about real estate etc was very interesting but it finds me too poor to invest and I am not working as must rest a year. Is there any way you can help me better my condition physically and financially? I have wanted to go in real estate business here but can find no way as it takes so much money to start. How much do you charge for reading in B'ham real estate? & do they always work out just as read? Please answer these questions in your letter you may give no & then answer. No. 1. Can you by reading give cold cream or formula which will remove all lines or wrinkles of age & put flesh on parts where it is used? No. 2. Can you in any way remove large veins & circles from around eyes? No. 3. Will any thing remove fat from certain parts of body? No. 4. Remedy for grey hair. Will appreciate so much your answers. Can you tell me where I can get best place in teaching or if I could make more at something else..."
7/01/26 EC's ltr. to [2195]'s Daughter: "...Replying to yours of the 26th, I should think you would have gathered most of the information you ask from the little pamphlet sent you. It meant just what it said as to charges. The charges are according to the abilities of the individual to pay.
"As to the formula for a cream, this may or may not be given in a reading. It depends as to whether that's what is necessary to remove the trouble or not. It would give you the formula, if that is what is necessary to remove the trouble. It would be the same also as regarding the veins and circles - also the other conditions you ask about. Of course, it will be necessary to give a reading to find these out. I can't give them off hand, for I'm no physician. We'd be very glad though to try to be of help, if you so desire, and to make an appointment for you.
"On page 25 and 26 of the little pamphlet I think you will find the information necessary respecting the physical reading for you to know what to do in applying for a reading and in applying the reading as gotten to your own individual needs. I certainly hope I may be of service..."
7/26 Daughter of [2195] ltr. to EC: "...Am asking help of you again. Please "read" and find the prize winning name for the ballron tire. I must have some money, and you are my only hope. I will pay you. Your son wrote me about investments there. I am greatly interested, but need some more money. I have heard recently in Birmingham of the splendid opportunities there. All I need is some more money and I believe its a great chance for making money. Mr. Cayce, please do this for me & as soon as you can conveniently do so. It will certainly be for a good cause. Thanks..."
7/26/26 EC's ltr. to Daughter of [2195]: "...Replying to yours of recent date, it would be very nice I'm sure to be of help to you in gaining the prize as is outlined in the circular enclosed, but I'm sure you must realize that to be of help to sick and suffering humanity is more than meat and drink or dollars and cents, and its almost impossible for me to keep up with the appointments that we have at the present time; so I will have to beg to be excused from this, for I haven't the opportunity to go into anything of this nature.
"Hoping that you may be successful with your naming the tire, I am..."
