TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here - this we have had before. We find with this body there has been rather the spasmodic reaction; that is, in days or for periods there apparently is a great deal of response to those applications made, then there will be periods when there seems to be a retraction, or same old conditions will arise.
2. In the addition of those vibrations as given, we would find this would become more of a uniform response, as it were, for the activity of this low form of electrical vibration that is created by the contacts to the extremities of the system tends to make for a quieting effect, and not from the sedentary forces of properties taken within - but more of a general nerve response to the changed vibrations created. Hence we would keep those conditions as HAS been outlined, ADDING those vibrations from the Radio-Active forces as HAS been outlined for the body, and we will find this nervousness, this tendency to retraction, will be CHANGED to a continued improvement, and we find there would be the responses to the manipulations, to the suggestions as would be well to be made as the body sinks to sleep - the talk, the quieting effect, the improvements through the psychopathic effect that may be created by suggestion as the body goes to sleep. Something as this, though it may be altered according to that one giving same. Do not make same as rote, or as just something to be said, but with that intense desire to be a channel of aid and help TO the individual:
3. AS YOU (calling the child by ITS OWN name, that it responds to even by any FORM of suggestion) AS YOU SINK INTO A QUIET RESTFUL SLEEP, THE ORGANS OF THE BODY WILL SO FUNCTION THAT THE VERY BEST WILL BE BUILDED IN THE PHYSICAL AND MENTAL BEING, GIVING THAT RESPONSE THAT WILL BE A NORMAL ACTIVITY FOR THE ORGANS OF THE SENSORY SYSTEM.
4. And the response and reaction will be of a NORMAL physical action, not spasmodic, not any retractions - see? Give as POSITIVE suggestions. Ready for questions.
5. (Q) Should Mayblossom Bitters be continued?
   (A) The dose may be reduced, but we would continue until there are no reactions through that wringing of hands, or of continued nervousness - picking at things.
6. (Q) How long should osteopathic treatments be kept up?
   (A) We would take at least thirteen more before a period of rest is had; then rest for at least thirteen periods or days, then begin again, see, so that the body has the time - but we would make the SUGGESTIONS each evening.
7. (Q) Should they be the same as has been given - the osteopathic treatments?
   (A) These have been very good, and in line with the suggestions - and we would keep them, for we have the proper cooperation here with the manipulator.
8. (Q) What noticeable improvements have been made since last reading?
   (A) Periods of quietude, periods when there apparently is more attention given in ALL directions - whether in the vision or in the attempt to hear something, or to make sounds to others - see?
9. (Q) How long should the Radio-Active Appliance be used at a time, and how often?
   (A) In the beginning we would give for thirty minutes each evening, as the body rests. This may produce a nervousness in the first one or two applications - but will the SUGGESTIONS, as has been given, be carried in a positive manner, this will soon pass and these will be MOST helpful in KEEPING an equilibrium. After three to ten days, gradually INCREASE until an hour is given, see? Make positive connections to opposite sides of body, right ankle - left wrist; right wrist, left ankle - see?
10. (Q) Any other suggestion?
    (A) Do this at the present. We will find the responses will be more noticeable as these continue, for we are beginning in time.
11. (Q) How long should this treatment continue before another reading?
    (A) From sixty to ninety days.
12. GC: That is all for the present.
13. We are through with these readings. [See 146-5, Par. 11-A which just preceded 2253-2.]

REPORTS

1. 5/30/31 EC's ltr. to Mrs. Pope:
   Mrs. A. M. Pope, Rosehill School, Chester Heights, Penna.
   My dear Mrs. Pope:-
   I have your letter of the 27th, with enclosure, for which I thank you very, very much.
   It is certainly a satisfaction to have one like Dr. Kirk to cooperate with us in the work. In keeping with this, I would like to tell you that we have recently had two other physicians in different parts of the country who have written beautiful letters stating that they are desirous of doing everything they can to follow out the readings, for they are seeing wonderful results coming to those whom they are treating in accordance with the information given in the readings.
   I am sure Mrs. [959] is happy to have [146] under Dr. Kirk's care, and I'm certain he will improve in a satisfactory way and manner.
   It is rather a wonderful idea that it might be possible for you to locate your school here, where we could all work together. I would like to be a channel of blessing to some of those unfortunate ones, to whom the world must be a very weary or dreary place, owing to their afflictions. It seems to me it would be a very easy matter to interest some of those who have expressed a desire to be of help in this department of the work, and I am sure it will work itself out. I just wish it were possible for you to be here on the 6th of June at our organization meeting, to present that phase of it to this new organization. Would that be at all possible? I'm sure Mrs. [...]'s [Mother of [5483]] connection in New York would be very helpful in getting this phase organized and started.
   Thanks for your letter. I trust that you will see improvement right along with all those we are trying to help. May His blessings rest upon your efforts in this direction!
   With kindest personal regards, I am
   Sincerely, EC:GD
2. 7/23/31 Mrs. Pope's ltr. to EC:
   Rosehill School Chester Heights, Pa. Dear Mr. Cayce,
   Your letter came this morning and I am so sorry that the battery went astray as I have not received it. I do hope it can be traced and that I will have it soon as I am sure that it will be very beneficial to [2253]. She must be improving but it is not very noticeable. It probably will take much time as she has been in this condition so long and we will have to be very patient. I am just hoping that her parents will be willing to go on with the treatment.
   I do hope we will not be discouraged when we do not see immediate results as there is no or very little noticeable improvement in either [2253] or [146] either. [146] is taking the treatments better than he did and that shows he is better in that way. He understands what we say better, too.
   Hoping you and yours are well, I am,
   Sincerely, [signed] Anne Pope
3. 8/15/31 Mrs. Pope's ltr. to EC:
   Rosehill School Chester Heights, Pa.
   Dear Mr. Cayce,
   Would it be possible to have a reading, that is a check reading for [2253] at the same time that [146] has his? I know I am late in writing for it as Mrs. [959] wrote that she would like to have his around the 20th.
   The children must be improving as strangers see improvement that we do not see. Our eyes must be dull.
   The battery for [2253] has not come but I am sure that when we get it she will show marked improvement.
   Hoping that everything is well with you and yours, I am,
   Sincerely, [signed] Anne Pope
4. 8/17/31 GD's ltr. to Mrs. Pope:
   Virginia Beach, Virginia
   Mrs. A. M. Pope, Rosehill School, Chester Heights, Penna.
   Dear Mrs. Pope:- As Mr. Cayce is away, we will not get check-readings until the afternoon of Tuesday, September 1st, between 3:00 and 5:00 o'clock Eastern Standard. If that will be satisfactory, send us the questions and we will get [2253]'s at the same time we do [146]'s. Let us know just where she will be at the time.
   With kindest personal regards, I am
   Sincerely, [signed] Gladys Davis Secretary to Mr. Cayce
5. [No date] Mrs. Pope's note to GD [written at bottom of GD's letter, Par. 4 above]:
   Dear Miss Davis,-
   This is perfectly satisfactory and [2253] will be in her room on that afternoon between 3 & 5.
   Pardon this hastily written answer.
   Best wishes to you all from
   [signed] Anne Pope
   questions & check later
6. 9/01/31 See 2253-3, for which Mrs. Pope submitted questions 8/26/31.
