TEXT

1. GD: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find at the present time; giving the cause of the existing conditions, also suggestions for help and relief of this body; answering the questions, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes - nice looking body!
3. We have the body, [3074].
4. As we find, there are conditions that are causing disturbances with this body. These are rather of a specific nature, though in a general manner the disturbances cause more of a specific result or effect in the body.
5. These deal with activities between the adrenals and the nerves that control the forces in the cerebrospinal system directing the sensory organism.
6. Then, as we find, these are the disturbances with this body, [3074].
7. First, in the blood supply, - while this in the main is very good, there are indications in same that there are hindrances, or conditions in the circulation where portions of body are blocked by a form of congestion. Not congestion such as arises from inflammation, though at times inflammatory results or effects are produced through the body.
8. These we find, as indicated, are suppressions, or subluxations that exist in the lower portion of the 9th dorsal and in the 10th and 11th dorsal centers. While there are reflexes indicated in the 2nd and 3rd dorsal also, as well as a lesion in the 3rd and 2nd cervical, - these cause the deflections. This comes in the form of a minor pressure in the cartilaginous forces in the segments at the lower portion of 9th, or 9th and 10th dorsal. This has existed for some time.
9. Now it finds those activities that produce lacking of circulation in neck and head, as to cause a prolapsus in the Eustachian tubes.
10. Thus the head noises, that tendency for the lack of proper distribution of energies as to supply even all the fluids in the inner ear. This is a constitutional disturbance, but the subluxation causing deflection has brought on these conditions.
11. This produces a general nervousness through the body, tending to cause general debilitation as related to the activity in the organs of the body forces, AND to the secretions as would be activative through the organs of the pelvis; especially as related to the activity of the reproductive organs.
12. Hence this same condition that is disturbing the hearing, that at times alters even the taste. For, at times things that are sweet or sour or salty to others may appear to the entity as lacking in taste.
13. The effect to the eyes is at times a burning, a little inflammation to the areas about the eyeball itself, itching lids at times. These are the same that cause this suppression in the activities of the ovaries; causing at times irregularity as to the Periods.
14. These do not cause a great pain, save at times when there has been some special reflex upon the imaginative system, or some great emotional upset. Then the Periods become at times distressing to the body.
15. The organs as related to the central nervous system, activity of heart, of lungs, of liver, of spleen, of pancreas, even of the digestive system, are only sympathetically involved; while those as related to the activity of the lower hepatic circulation AND the eliminations (that at times cause irregularity in eliminations) cause at times also some irregularity, some scantness and at other times a very frequent activity of kidneys and bladder.
16. These are the conditions as we find them with this body, [3074] and in making applications for correction of these:
17. First we would have a short series, or some three or four, of GENERAL relaxing treatments not by cabinet sweats but rather by remaining in warm water for quite a period; that is, twenty to thirty minutes, to relax the body thoroughly. The temperature of the water should be gradually increased. Do this about two days apart. Use Pine Oil in the water; about an ounce to twenty to thirty gallons of water. The body should recline in this for twenty to thirty minutes.
18. Then, after three to four of such warm baths, in the manner indicated, - begin with having adjustments osteopathically made in the lower dorsal, through the sacral and lumbar, then coordinating the upper dorsal and cervical with these. These, to be sure, are at variance to some manners in which some osteopaths make adjustments, but these will be the correct manners for this particular body. In the first series have at least a period of ten adjustments.
19. Do not attempt to make the complete adjustments until at least six treatments of a relaxing nature have been given.
20. Then have at least four more, when more of corrections are made.
21. Leave off the applications then for a period of two weeks.
22. Then begin with the low form of electricity for the body as would be supplied through the Wet Cell Appliance, but used as the Radio-Active Appliance is ordinarily used. Have an extra heavy charge for the Wet Cell, using both the copper and nickel plates but both being small plates, see?
23. To at least two gallons of the Rain or Distilled Water, add:

    Copper Sulphate................2 1/2 pounds,
Sulfuric Acid C.P..............1 1/2 ounces,
Zinc...............................6 drams,
Willow Charcoal..................1/2 pound.

    Use this Appliance half an hour each day, for at least thirty days. When the copper plate is attached to the ankle, the nickel is attached to the opposite wrist. This should circulate about the body; that is, first the copper plate - to the left ankle, the nickel plate to the right wrist; the next day the copper plate to the right ankle, the nickel plate to the left wrist; the next day the copper plate to the right wrist, the nickel plate to the left ankle; and so about the body, each day changed so that we will have both circuits passing through the upper and lower portions of the body.
24. After the Appliance has been used for thirty days, - then have another series of at least six osteopathic adjustments.
25. Then have - during this second period - the finger surgery, osteopathically, for the Eustachian tubes; not in the first series, but in the second series - and AFTER the electrical forces of the Wet Cell Appliance have been given the body.
26. Keep the diets well balanced. Plenty of whole grain cereals or foods, either in cereals or in breads.
27. Have plenty of sea foods regularly, plenty of fowl; not too much of beef, though mutton may be taken, as well as - of course - fish and other sea foods.
28. Plenty of fresh vegetables.
29. During the second series of the osteopathic adjustments (not before), do begin taking the B-1 Complex tablets.
30. There should not be required more than one finger surgery treatment, though one will necessarily have to follow same - at the end of the series, but not as severe as the first breaking up of that lesion and prolapsus in the Eustachian tube.
31. Doing these, we should not only remove the noises in head but soon restore almost to normal the hearing.
32. Ready for questions.
33. (Q) Will I ever have a child, and if so will it affect my hearing detrimentally?
    (A) If these things indicated will be done, it may be possible to have the child - and to be the gainer in the hearing, by the effect of same on the body. But we would do these things as indicated first.
34. We are through with this Reading.

    Two copies to Self (one for the osteopath - Let us know the one you choose to follow that part of the treatment.)
    Copy to Ass'n file
    (See explanatory sheet [which was enclosed] regarding the Wet Cell Appliance.
    We would refer you to a young couple in Baltimore, of our membership, who have had experience with Rdgs: Mr. [1710] & his wife, Mrs. [2803]. GD.)

BACKGROUND

1. 4/14/43 [3074]'s letter to EC: "A Miss Isabel Manning Hewson dramatized over the radio on Thurs., April 1st about the wonderful power you have and the many of people that you have helped.
   "I am only 24 yrs. old and have been sick for 4 yrs. Have been to many doctors including the Johns Hopkins Hospital. No one seems to know what is wrong and what treatments to give me. I would like to know if you would see me if I came down to Va. Beach. I only live in hope that maybe some miracle would happen and I would be cured. If you could see me I would let you know a few days ahead of time just when I will be down. I am willing to pay anything just to find out what is wrong and if something can be done for me. Also please send me your address..."
2. 5/13/43 [3074]'s letter: "Since writing to you last, I have bought the book called 'There is a River' and I must say I enjoyed it very very much. Since reading it, I have all the faith and confidence that you will be able to do me some good.
   "I am now enclosing a list of questions and the address where I will be at the appointed time given me for the Physical Reading (June 30 - 3:30-4:30 P.M. EWT)."
   1. Why do I have this continual noise in my head? 2. What is the best method of treatment? 3. I am slowly losing my hearing. Is it a permanent condition or can it be cured or stopped from progressing and how? 4. Will I ever have a child and if so will it affect my hearing detrimentally?
   "I will keep the appointed time in prayer and will be at this address..." [Her sister, Miss [3081], also requested a Physical Rdg.]

REPORTS

1. 7/17/43 Mrs. [3074]'s letter: "I received your rdg. given me on June 30th and want to thank you for same. I am going to follow the instructions as given in the rdg.
   "My sister, Miss [3081], and myself were over to see Mr. [1710] and Mrs. [2803]. They were very encouraging and spoke very highly of you and your work.
   "I have finished taking the Pine Oil Baths and I am now taking the osteopathic treatments. Dr. Dwight Shellenberger, Mulberry & Cathedral Sts, Baltimore, Md., is giving me the osteopathic treatments as outlined in the Reading.
   "After I have completed my entire series of treatments including the Wet Cell Appliance, I would like to get a check Reading. I would like to know if you think it advisable for me to make an appointment at the present time for the Check Reading and approximately how long it would be before you could take me. Also let me know the price for same.
   "Thanking you for the encouragement the Reading has given me..."
2. 7/26/43 Mrs. [3074]'s letter: "I received your nice letter of July 21st. Since reading your book, 'There Is A River', and visiting with the [1710]'s, I also feel that I've known you personally for a long time. If I ever get a chance to come down to Va. Beach, I will stop in to see you. I loaned my book to Dr. Shellenberger to read. He was very much impressed and wanted to know where he could get a copy for himself.
   "I received a copy of 'A Search for God' last week and find it very inspiring.
   "Enclosed you will find application blank and ck. for $10 for a Check Reading. It will take me approximately 2-1/2 months before I complete my full course of treatments, but I will let you know a couple of weeks in advance just when I will be finished. It's a relief to know that you will work me in for a Ck. Reading.
   "I feel a slight bit better since taking the Osteopathic treatments. I've taken six treatments already.
   "Thanking you for everything you have done for me, and hoping you are in good health..."
3. 8/02/43 Mrs. [3074]'s letter: "Received your letter of July 28th. The morning of Oct. 20th will suit me fine for the check-reading. I have finished my osteopathic treatments and am now waiting for the Wet Cell Appliance to arrive. I haven't seen any results as yet but I haven't given up hope. I think the Appliance will do me a lot of good. "Mr. Cayce I would like to make an appt. for a Life Reading as soon as it is convenient for you."
4. 8/31/43 Mrs. [3074]'s letter: "I would appreciate it if you could give me a check-reading as soon as possible. The noise in my head is terrific. At times I feel like I am losing my mind. It makes me so nervous that I can't eat or sleep. I would like to know if I am following your suggestions correctly. I have finished my first series of osteopathic adjustments and have already taken 13 wet cell appliance treatments.
   "You have set aside Oct. 20th for a check-reading for me. I would like you to continue holding this date open for me as I want a reading on this date also. But in the meantime I would like to know if it is at all convenient for you to give me a check reading as soon as possible. I will mail you a check in a few days.
   "Thanking you and hoping this does not inconvenience you..."
5. 10/06/43 Mrs. [3074]'s letter: "I have followed all your suggestions given in my first rdg. as closely as I know how and haven't seen any results. Since taking the Vitamin B-1 tablets I have noticed that my appetite is better and at times I am not quite as nervous as usual. But the head noises and deafness is still bothering me very much. So much so, that at times I feel like I am losing my mind.
   "I am listing my questions for my check-reading to be given Oct. 20th at 10:30-11:30 A.M. I will be at this address for the rdg. - ..., Maryland.
   1. Why do I still have the head noises and deafness? What can be done to cure the condition? 2. Were the osteopathic and wet cell treatments given correctly? 3. How many Vitamin B-1 tablets should I take each day and how long should I continue taking these? 4. Why is the ear condition worse during the Periods? 5. Is the ear condition hereditary? 6. I have been told that a major operation on the ears might be helpful for a few years. Is this so? 7. Will pregnancy aggravate the ear condition?
   "Thanking you for everything you have done in my behalf and trusting that you are in the best of health...
   "P.S. Question 8: Why is the noise and deafness worse in my left ear?"
6. 10/18/43 See 3074-2.
