Time and Place: 3:40 to 3:55 P. M. Eastern War Time. ..., Ohio.

TEXT

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 questions, as I ask them:
EC: Yes, we have the body here, [3483].
As we find, there are pathological and psychological disturbances. These are contributing one to the other, yet in the suggestions for applications they will have to be approached in very different manners.
Then, these are disturbances as we find them with this body, [3483] we are speaking of, present in this room:
The blood supply indicates the character of the poor circulation and eliminations, and the effects of poison accumulations in the system that are - through chemical changes - gradually producing pressures upon locomotory centers of the body; as well as causing much reflexes that voluntary and involuntary activities are affected through the sympathetic system, where the coordinating of or the repressions in activities have an effect upon the psychological reactions that also are being created. And these are from certain centers through the body-forces.
In the nerve forces these have certain centers where they are more in the extreme than others; from the lumbar axis, 9th dorsal, 3rd and 4th dorsal and 3rd cervical, with the axis of the 1st cervical. These are the areas through which this incoordination is producing at times the involuntary forces in the muscular system and the reflexes in impulses through the body-energies.
These are the sources from which the arthritic reactions are expressed in the physical activities of the body.
As to the effect upon the organs themselves of the body - we find that the greater portion of the disturbance arises from conditions existent in pelvic reactions, or the lumbar and sacral area and conditions existent with the activity of the pelvis.
These are sources, then, of physical, psychological and pathological conditions in the body.
In making corrections:
First we would give that there be three to five adjustments osteopathically made. The local applications also for the conditions in the pelvic organs should be a part of the treatment made by the osteopath.
Use douches also for the activities in pelvic organs, for the coordinating of better conditions through the system. To a quart and a half of body-temperature water put a teaspoonful of Atomidine; using only a Fountain Syringe. Such a douche should be used at least once a week.
We would begin using the low Wet Cell Appliance that would carry Gold for the replenishing of the glandular forces in the activities themselves of the body. Use one grain Chloride of Gold Sodium to each ounce of Distilled Water, but use at least three ounces for each fifteen-day period. The large plate, through which the Gold Solution vibratorially passes to the body, would be attached at the umbilical and lacteal duct center, or - for this body - three fingers from the navel center to the right and two fingers up from that point. The small copper plate would be attached at the 4th lumbar center. Make the attachments each day for thirty minutes. After using the Appliance in this manner for thirty days, leave off for a period of fifteen days. Then recharge and use again, and so on.
Each day following the Appliance treatment, give the body a massage to the areas indicated, as well as to the limbs, the feet, the torso-especially around the diaphragm, and in the areas from the 2nd and 3rd cervical to the mastoid area and neck.
Do these and we will make for better conditions for this body.
Ready for questions.
(Q) If treatments are carefully followed, is it indicated how long it will be before a condition of normalcy is reached?
(A) This will depend upon the attitude of the individual entity. As indicated, the psychological condition must be approached through the mental self. Begin with the study of self, which may be best done by suggestive forces to the body through hypnosis.
(Q) Any other advice?
(A) Do these things and we will make for better conditions for this body.
We are through with this Reading.
Two copies to Self (one for osteopath - Please let us have the name and address of the one you choose.)
Copy to Ass'n file
(12/29/43 GD's note: If unable to secure Atomidine from your local druggist, it may be ordered direct from The Atomidine Co., Atten. Harold S. Bisey, 1326 St. Johns Place, Brooklyn, N.Y., for $1 a bottle.
See extra sheet of directions [which was enclosed] to be sent to Mr. A. M. Godfrey, 2709 Lafayette Blvd., Norfolk, Va., who can make up the Appliance for you according to specifications. Also see article explaining theory of this type of Appliance.
If you have difficulty in interpreting the Reading, we would refer you to one of our members in your city: Mrs. George Cooperrider, [Helen Mohr Cooperrider], 1828 Bryden Road, who has known Mr. Cayce for many years and had experience with following Readings.)

BACKGROUND

9/29/43 [3483]'s letter: "Sometime ago I read an article in the magazine CORONET on the wonderful work that you have been doing. I contacted my father in Virginia Beach to see you about my case. He made an appointment then and made it for Dec. 29th at 3:30-4:30 P.M. You suggested that I read THERE IS A RIVER. I have finished the book and consider it the best book that I have ever read. It is a book that one could re-read...
"My father may not have explained my case. Briefly my case is this: Two years ago in Oct. an operation was made on my right foot and leg. The foot was known as a drop foot, caused from Infantile Paralysis. After the cast was removed it left large pits or holes in my foot which haven't developed fully back to normal. Also the right leg hasn't developed much at all. The incision on the right side has a tendency to come up like a boil and burst. Mr. Cayce, for two years I have done everything within my power for this condition but first one thing and another develops.
"After reading the article in 'Coronet' and the book by Sugrue, they have given me much hope. Whatever your suggestion might be, I would appreciate it greatly."

REPORTS

7/20/44 Miss [3483] wrote EC: "In Dec. you gave me a physical reading. As yet nothing much has been done about it, so much has happened that it has been impossible to carry out the work. My battery should be here by the time my vacation has been completed. I feel assured my condition with your help will be back to normal. As soon as I start with my battery I shall let you know the results.
"Truthfully, with my life reading, I know it can be so much... [She verified her appointment for July 31st and submitted questions.]
"The young lady in the [your] office suggested that any questions I might like to know could be asked. At present I really don't know myself. There are some puzzling solutions. 1. Will the opportunity offered to me in the near future prove successful? Have I chosen the right vocation in life [secretary]? 2. We all have our ideals of marriage. Shall I meet my future husband? Please tell me something of this. 3. Am I living in the right place or should I live elsewhere...
"Thank you once again for your cooperation." [3483]
7/26/44 Miss [3483] was given another appointment for her life reading due to the fact that Mr. Cayce had to go away for a rest and all appointments - already way ahead - had to be extended. When Edgar Cayce died on 1/03/45 nearly two years of appointments were unfulfilled.
