TEXT

1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with further suggestions for corrective measures; answering the questions, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [2684]; this we have had before.
3. As we find, while conditions are greatly improved, there is much at times that still disturbs the better equilibrium of the body.
4. Combined with the slowing of the eliminations through the alimentary canal, and the tendencies for the fermentation of foods in portions of the duodenum (for lack of the flow of gastric juices), there are also those tendencies for accumulations through the colon area.
5. And this, now, is the source - or it is the combination of sources that produces this tendency for formation of gas in the intestinal system.
6. Then, - we would continue with the osteopathic adjustments, though these may be had - after some six or eight more - only about once a week.
7. But we would have sufficient of the colonic irrigations (given by Reilly) to remove the mucous from the colon area; the first two within two weeks, see? then afterwards, unless there is still considerable mucous, they may be had farther apart. Use body temperature water, with a heaping teaspoonful of table salt and a level teaspoonful of baking soda to each quart and a half of water. In the last or rinse water, use a tablespoonful of Glyco-Thymoline to each quart of water.
8. These will aid the body in better balance and in ridding the system of the disturbances.
9. Also we would take half a teaspoonful of Acigest in a glass of milk once each day. This should be taken only in raw milk.
10. These should bring the better conditions for this body.
11. Ready for questions.
12. (Q) Is the chemical condition in my digestion still unbalanced?
    (A) As indicated by the necessity of the addition of the Acigest, it is still unbalanced. But with the cleansing or purifying of the lower portion of the alimentary canal, and keeping the stimulation for the better circulation - osteopathically, and with the use of these, we should bring near to normal conditions.
    Do that.
13. We are through with this Reading.

REPORTS

1. 4/30/42 [2684]'s letter to EC:
   Dear Mr. Cayce:
   Thank you very much for the check reading. I have obtained the Acigest advised and will try to follow the recommendations for both osteopathic treatments and irrigations.
   As I find Dr. Dobbins treatments very expensive at $5.00 a treatment and the trip to New York also difficult & expensive, is it possible I might go to a local osteopath? There are two osteopaths, a man and his wife, named Hughes [Hughes, Joseph E. - Hughes, Alice B.], whom friends have found good, and whose offices are in Pearl River which is not far from here. Is it possible I might make use of one of these? I should prefer to go to the woman, whose professional name is, I believe, different from that of her husband.
   Enclosed is my cheque of $10.00 for the check reading. Thank you so much for all your consideration.
   Sincerely yours
2. 5/05/42 EC suggested that she get the cooperation of the local osteopath.
