EC: Yes, we have the body here, [
2519]. This body we have
had before. Now, we find there are specific conditions as
cause distresses at times with the physical functioning of
this body. These conditions are local in their nature, yet
are gradually effecting, causing, by the state of being of
the affectation, greater distress to the whole system - and
would continue to do so unless the seat or the cause of this
condition is removed. While we find the body physically fit
in many respects, able to store energy in the greater
physical sense, yet the vitality through those portions that
are so affected gradually are weakening the system, that
this, too, may succumb - unless radical changes were made for
the body. The body MENTALLY presents an unusual condition as
related to the physical activities of the body, so that the
body has been and is capable of routing many conditions that
would to some bodies become not only aggravating but very
detrimental physically in the EFFECT they would create.
Hence we find the unusualness of conditions as related to
this body, [
2519]. While, in some respects, the mental body
would not be considered as advanced as others, yet in the
basic principles of that necessary to live the full effective
life is with this body a part and to others is scarcely
existent. These, then, are the troublesome conditions and,
being specific, represent and present specific conditions
existent in the physical body. In times back we find there
was existent that of an injury of a minor nature at the time,
that caused in the 4th, 5th and 6th dorsal, an improper
radiation of nerve energy to the body. With the contraction
of cold and congestion, this condition became aggravated by
the physical system warding or walling off, as it were, the
injuries to the system. This continuation of the system to
ward this off has prevented gradually that cording of nerve
plasm centers to the throat, the bronchials, and to the nasal
portion of the system. This has gradually made that tendency
of the system to send as warriors too much of the
mucus-producing portions of the vital forces in blood supply,
or blood plasm, until throat irritation, nasal irritation,
bronchial irritation, are the result. There has been
existent for a GREATER period of time that condition in the
pelvic organs, that has prevented the normal illumination,
and consequently the normal elimination, of the organs of the
system through the periods of menstruation. Hence, with this
position, the organs of the pelvis, or the womb itself, has
been drawn into - has continued to produce distressing
conditions at times, and especially were there an
overtaxation of the body, or the tiredness of the body in
physical or mental ways and manners, or cold or congestion -
these were made more severe.
Now, ORDINARILY such conditions as has been seen or described
here, would possibly have made invalids of many. THIS body,
within itself, and with its ability to draw from the vital
forces of itself, has warded these off - yet the physical
must be the nearer physically fit, near NORMAL in their
position and in their relations one to another - all organs
of the system coordinating, vibrating, reflexing to the
attunement of the mental and the physical beings, to give
proper reaction and proper dissemination of forces through
the system.
Now, to correct these conditions, we would have two distinct
types of applications or treatments for this body. First we
will find ONE character will be of assistance to both
conditions, yet there must be ADDED conditions or treatments
for both conditions. The general manipulation and
correction, osteopathically, of those conditions existent in
the upper dorsal region will relieve that in the central
nerve system as related to the bronchial, the throat, and the
antrum or nasal cavities, aided by the use of an inhalant -
antiseptic in its nature, which will assist in bringing about
normal conditions.
For that in the lumbar and the pelvic regions, these will be
necessary to be of a deeper nature, and must be properly
relaxed by preferably wet heat, with the application of light
rays before corrections are made - and these made gradually,
not all at once - and will require longer treatment than that
in the dorsal region. First they are of longer standing,
next they have become in the nature or the character near
that of lesions, and causing adhesions within the organs
themselves. Thence necessary for the treatment locally of
the organ, by placing same in pack, that that is ORDINARILY
or at some times called curetting - may be made effective by
the use of medicated packs, and the conditions brought to
normal, where even that of the creation - or the ability of
the body to germinate, and to bring forth for the self and
for that of the mental being that may be created within, or
production [reproduction] may take place.
These, then, would be necessary: The proper manipulations
osteopathically, and the proper CORRECTIONS gradually made,
but keep for self that mental image as is kept before self,
in the ability of the creative forces acting through self to
cast off and to make whole. Keep that before self
continually, even while those physical conditions are being
made aright. These should not require longer than sixty to
ninety days. Treatments should be given for the upper
portion every other day. For the lumbar and sacral, these
may be given every other day, but the CORRECTIONS not made
more than once each week. Local applications every three to
five days, when these are begun. Ready for questions.
(Q) How often should the light be given?
(A) When corrections are to be made. It's just given!
(Q) What causes pain over right lung?
(A) Just as described, that effect as is created by the
creation of too much of those forces as are attempting to
alleviate the condition through that of creating too much of
the serums, or the vital forces as are attempting to ward off
conditions. The effects are from the subluxations existent
in the 4th, 5th and 6th dorsal region.
(Q) Does this cause also the backache?
(A) It does. Do as we have given, and we will find the body
will be brought to a near NORMAL - and give for self and to
many others much more satisfactory reactions in the system.
We are through for the present.

7/20/29 Letter to EC from [

1180] had
previously received readings.
"Your letter of the 18th, received. I am returning the slip
for reading Tuesday August 6th. I thank you very kindly for
your invitation to be there and hear the reading, and see you
all and your fine institution. I am quite a home body, and
seldom go without [
1180]. He is quite busy now getting ready
to drill a well near his father's farm. If they have good
luck they will commence drilling next week.
"Perhaps at some future time, we may have the pleasure of
seeing you all again.
"Mr. Cayce I have a few questions I would like to have
answered in my reading if convenient. [
1180] and myself are
very fond of children, and as we have never had any I had an
examination by our physician here a few months ago to find
the cause. He stated that a membrane, had almost completely
covered the womb, and would have to be removed. I have
hesitated to have this operation, not knowing if it was the
right thing to do. I felt that in my reading you could
advise if that was the trouble, and if an operation would be
necessary. Also, if this is the trouble and I had an
operation, could I have any children? Also what causes pain
over right lung? And continual backache?
"These questions may not be necessary for this reading as the
physical reading may cover all of this. But I would like
very much to know about this.
"With kindest regards to you all," Sincerely, [
2519]

[
2519], and I am trying to persuade her to come to your place

time. But I feel something should be done, even though we
are hard up.
"I will close, hoping to hear from you often. I am,"
As ever the same, [
