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 - Ready for questions.
3. (Q) Am I responding to the prescribed treatment given in first Rdg.?
   (A) At times; and until there is that doubt allowed to come into the mind, the body shows resistance building. For, of course - unless that as indicated may be added - this is more of the mental and the activity of that assimilated in the body.
4. (Q) Do my teeth have any direct effect upon my present trouble?
   (A) Those that are showing disturbance have some effect. They are rather the combination, not what might be said to be causing same, but they contribute their part to same.
5. (Q) What treatment do you suggest for condition of eyes?
   (A) Head and neck movements.
6. (Q) What causes occasional relapses?
   (A) The inability of the body to hold to that ideal as indicated, and to which it must subscribe, not only in its mental self but in its reactions and in its associations or applications of same to others, and to conditions and environs.
7. (Q) Is it safe for me to drive my car?
   (A) There are times when it would be perfectly safe. At others, it would not. Unless circumstances demand it, as we find it would not be well.
8. (Q) Will Life Reading be beneficial?
   (A) That would depend upon the application of same and that purpose for which it was sought.
9. (Q) What hobby would you suggest?
   (A) Anything that would have to do with detail, - as that of stamps or photographs, or the making of things with the hands.
10. (Q) What kind of a job will suit me best?
    (A) Depending upon the application of self, or the desire of the body in its relation to those things. As we find, that as would have to do with the making or building of things - just so it does not require too strenuous labor.

REPORTS

1. 8/43 Wife's letter:
   Dear Mr. Casey:
   First, I want to tell you that we certainly enjoyed seeing you and hope you won't wait so long before you come back to ... [2828] hasn't felt at all well lately. He seems so very weak and terribly depressed and now he is beginning to look badly. There are times when his face and eyes will ache for hours and he loses his balance and just falls right out on the floor.
   O, Mr. Casey, if he could only show just a little improvement, I would be so very happy and of course he would too.
   As I told you we cannot find the lamp suggested in the reading and I hope you can arrange to give him a check reading as soon as possible. He is getting very nervous and doesn't want to go anywhere or see anybody. Hoping to hear from you very soon and also hoping that you and "the Charlie Horse" have parted company, I am very sincerely yours,
   Mrs. [...]
2. 8/26/43 EC's letter:
   Mrs. [...] ..., Va.
   Dear Mrs. [...]
   Of course, it would be impossible for me not to feel very much closer to each of you since meeting you in person. I am sorry to know that Mr. [2828] is not feeling so good. The first possible chance that we have in getting a check reading for him is the afternoon of September 20 from 3:30 to 4:30. If he feels that he can wait that long, let us have a list of questions and I do hope that we may be able to help and offer some suggestions as a substitute for the Light, but I still feel that this can be gotten. Has he asked the General Electric Co., or some of the other electric companies for the hand light? These are not too expensive and many of these might be able to rent them at a nominal fee, but let us hear from you and know that we are very anxious to try and be of a real service.
   Thanking you, I am,
   Sincerely, Edgar Cayce
3. 9/15/43 Questions submitted for Ck. Physical:
   1. As no specific explanation of cause and history of this condition in this body has been given in a previous Reading, would you please give us a knowledge of these that would help us arrive at an understanding of it? 2. Can this gradual deterioration be checked and reconstructive forces be set up in the spine itself? 3. What causes extreme night suffering at times in hot weather? Any specific and immediate measures that could be applied to alleviate the conditions at such times? 4. In the last reading a Violet Ray (or Mercury Light) was advised. Give name and address of company where light may be obtained. Also green glass. 5. What specific regions of the spine should this be used over? 6. Any corrections in present diet? What foods or elements would most help the reconstructive forces? 7. Shall I continue Vitamins? 8. Should I continue Calcios? When and how often should this be taken? 9. Should I continue the Peanut Oil Massages daily as well as after the light treatment? 10. Please describe further the "head and neck movements", or exercises for the eyes. 11. The doctors have stated this condition will gradually grow worse and worse, with increased debility and falling spells. Is there some hope against this? Please give any advice at this time for the wife in regard to this.
4. 9/15/43 [2072]'s letter: "Please put this last answer on a separate sheet from the Rdg. proper, and send it to me, so that I may give it to Mrs. [...]."
5. 9/20/43 See 2828-4.
