TEXT

1. GC: 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, we have the body here, [3094].
3. As we find, while the conditions in the present are not so severe, they are at times very aggravating and uncomfortable for the body.
4. And corrections, we find, may be made now; while if conditions are allowed to continue, there will either be the localizing of the disturbance in some portions of the body or the developing of a constitutional condition that would keep the body from being normally well at any time.
5. These, then, are conditions as we find them with this body, [3094] we are speaking of:
6. The blood supply indicates congestion through the upper parts of the body, or through head, nasal passages, sinus particularly disturbing, throat infection. And from this there arises a disturbance with the digestive system, where the infectious forces are swallowed into the stomach.
7. Hence we have a tendency for an irritation at the pyloric as well as in the cardiac portion of the stomach.
8. This causes the headaches, the upsetting of the digestive system; and so changes the lactic and digestive fluids of the stomach as to cause at times a great deal of inconvenience. Hence lacerations or ulcerations may tend to form later, unless corrections are made.
9. These also indicate, - as in the sinus and the soft tissue of throat and head, - that this is more of a catarrhal condition. Thus those periods when there is a great deal not so much of phlegm as mucous that is discharged from same. This also contributes to the headaches and the general weaknesses indicated through the body at times; that tired, languid, aching feeling.
10. These drains on the system, as we find, are the primary or major disturbances with this body in the present.
11. Of course, these form toxic forces in the body, and these - unless corrected - may form a blocking off in some portions of the body, as to affect the circulation - or the locomotion at times.
12. The organs in the present are not affected other than occasionally in the functioning. This disturbance makes for a very poor coordination between the sympathetic and the cerebrospinal nerve AND blood supply.
13. Thus we find at times the hot and cold flushes; not from the reaction to glandular forces, for these are very good.
14. As we find, in making corrections for this body, [3094]:
15. We would first begin with the hydrotherapy treatments. Have one each week until at least six or eight are had. Then have one every other week until four to six more are taken.
16. And these, with the other things we will suggest, should correct the condition.
17. Do have an inhalant prepared for the sinus and throat disturbance, so that - with the sweats and rubs - the body will react and rejuvenate, as it were, the whole of these areas.
18. Have an eight ounce, large-mouth bottle, prepared with two vents in the cork so that the openings of the glass tubes will enter the space above the solution. These tubes should be corked also, except when being used, to prevent too much evaporation or oxidization of the solution. The inhalant to be put in the container would be prepared in this manner:
19. To 4 ounces of Grain Alcohol (at least 90% proof), add - in the order named:

    Oil of Eucalyptus...................20 minims,
Rectified Oil of Turp................5 minims,
Compound Tincture of Benzoin........15 minims,
Tolu in Solution....................20 minims.

    When ready to inhale - which should be done at least night and morning, or during the day if there is any inconvenience - shake the solution, then remove the corks in the small openings, and inhale the fumes that arise from same - through each nostril, at least two or three times. Then inhale into the throat and into the lungs.
20. This will act as an antiseptic and be healing for the irritated areas that will be corrected by the massage and the hydrotherapy treatments which would cleanse the system.
21. Also this will aid the activity of the kidneys and the circulation through the liver, that is naturally disturbed by the reflex condition of those poisons or congestions in the stomach itself.
22. Do take internally, once or twice each day, six drops of Glyco-Thymoline (or Lavoris) as an intestinal antiseptic. This would be taken in water. Keep this up during the whole period that these treatments are being taken.
23. These, if done, will - as we find - bring corrections for this body, [3094].
24. Ready for questions.
25. (Q) What causes and how may I eliminate the sciatica which I have had for the last ten years?
    (A) This will be eliminated when the poisons are cleansed from the system, through the massage and the sweats, as well as purifying the system. See, the properties in the inhalant are also purifying to the body, to cleanse or to correct causes. The hydrotherapy and the sweats and the massage are to correct those imperfections, or the conditions causing the disturbance in the sciatic region. So, special attention should be given to the lower lumbar and the limbs, when the massages are made. Have these done at Reilly's.
    Do this, and we will get better conditions for this body.
26. We are through with this Reading.

BACKGROUND

1. 5/12/43 [3094]'s ltr. to EC:
   Dear Mr. Cayce:-
   Enclose will find an application for physical and life reading, and money order.
   Miss Viola Beck a good friend of mine came to see me, and she was so disappointed also, that I had this delay, because I could not get in touch with Mrs. Kahn, as you advised. I do hope I do not have to wait very long, for a reading because I am very sick, have same ailment as Mrs. Beck, and I have been at times when I have attacks for months in bed. I can never walk without pain. I can't even dream about going to work. I am earning room & board for myself by renting furnished rooms. I have been so discouraged, that life just do [does] not seem to be worth living. Miss Beck for the first time brought me a ray [of] hope, by recommending me the book "There is a River". I have had this ailment for last 10 yrs., and it's getting worse all the time. Dr's say it's sciatica.
   In physical reading I would like to know about my sinus trouble. Also, my nostril is always clogged up that I can only breathe through one nostril specially when I sleep, and what causes a bad breath in the morning.
   Life Reading:-
   I have never found out, what kind of work I am best qualified for. I would like to do something, that would give me a feeling, that it's worth while work, that I could put my whole body & soul in it. I have had such a hard life, my husband had stroke and 5 1/2 yrs. he could not earn anything. I took good care of him, and had to take all responsibilities. He passed away 2 yrs. ago. It was a terrible strain on me because I been so sick myself. I would also like to know, what part of the country would be best suited for me, & will I ever find companionship, marriage and real happiness, something I never have had.
   Sincerely yours [3094]
   N.Y.
