TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here. Now we find there are many abnormal conditions in this body. The system throughout being affected in various ways and forms that producing the condition coming from specific causes and conditions.
2. Now these are conditions as we find in this body: First, in the circulation, while we find the quality in its developing from the condition of the system, raises the blood above the normal pressure at times on account of the bacilli being carried in the system, or produces too much of the carbon elements in the body as we shall see. The number of the red blood in hemoglobin carrying facilities are very much exaggerated. In the white blood supply, not sufficient of that element that gives the advance of the body throughout.
3. In the nerve system we find the over-taxation to the body by circulation gives off to the nerves, those of the extravagant opposition of the body. This then gives rise to the pains the body suffers with at times. That over-strain as we have through the pneumogastric center, we have that depicted or shown in other portions of the body. In the temperamental element of forces we find in this very good, yet in its functioning throughout the system in the supply of force to the system from the sympathetic condition as shown over the whole body. This gives off the extent as is shown in the action of the organ as acted upon, hence all functioning conditions in the organs suffer their charge, or in their cycle of vibration. With the condition in the stomach, the pneumogastric, the sickness, the attempt to eliminate from the stomach produced by the reaction in the liver and the kidneys and in the hepatics attempting to bring elimination properly to the system, that producing or causing the condition we find in the trunk portion of the body, as is shown in the false pelvis region.
4. To give the relief to this body we would take those medicinal properties that will give the vibration to the system and in action as the forces show in the body at present, that is, in direct opposition to it, but with the same vibration as with which the body radiates or throws off, you see, then take this into the system (These would be prepared in capsule form):

   Podophyllum....................1/4 grain,
Leptandrin.......................1 grain,
Sanguinaria......................1 grain.

5. This would be a dose, you see. One would be taken every evening until three are taken. Skip two days and then take three more. The water as taken by this body should all be boiled and not the water as drank. There should be the two drams of Elm Bark to eight (8) ounces of water. Drink no other kind of water, but that carrying Elm.
6. Massage the whole length of the spine with grain alcohol, so it supplies the food for the eliminating and stimulate all these centers to perfect elimination.
7. (Q) Should this body be massaged with the hands?
   (A) Be well if this was massaged into the body at least each time when the temperature is very high and until this is reduced. Be well also to rub well into the groin, across the abdomen and the liver and spleen, you see, that is higher up here, you see, equal parts of Golden Seal and Balm of Gilead. Do that.
8. (Q) What is the scientific name for this condition, Mr. Cayce.
   (A) Taxation.
9. (Q) Is it anything like Typhoid fever or anything like that?
   (A) Something like it, yes. The affectation is more to the intestines and digestive tract, and the effect is strain on the hepatic circulation, you see.
10. (Q) How long should this body take this treatment before she is entirely well?
    (A) The effect will be shown in the system after the second or third day. For the improvement. Then from eight to ten days before the strength will again be returned to the body.
11. (Q) What should the diet be for this body?
    (A) Until this is massaged well into the system, will not be able to keep very much in the system on account of the condition of the gastric juices in the stomach. Very well if the stimulation would be with very little Spirits Fermenti [Frumenti] with whole egg raw, as only cooked with this, and milk, then Junket, Arrowroot and the like.
