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. As we find there are improvements, yet at times the body becomes discouraged.
3. If there is persistence and consistence in the applications suggested, the body will find response.
4. Do not hesitate to give the suggestions indicated to the one making the osteopathic adjustments. It is well that the conditions be considered that exist in the coccyx area. Do, though, be very persistent in breaking up or dissipating the adhesions existent in the lacteal duct area.
5. And follow through, whenever it is practical, with the use of the Radio-Active Appliance. Do prepare the Appliance for use at least twenty minutes before it is attached to the body. For as the activity is only in the body, and it acts through radiation, there is the necessity of having the variation in the temperature before it is attached. Do keep the attachment plates clean.
6. If these are persisted in, if these are followed well, we will gradually overcome the disturbance.
7. Keep away from sedatives as much as possible, but do use the hypnotic rather than a narcotic if it becomes necessary.
8. If these suggestions are adhered to, we can allay the short circuiting of the reflexes from brain to the sympathetic centers.
9. Ready for questions.
10. (Q) Has treatment so far been given correctly?
    (A) As indicated, follow rather more consistently those suggestions made as to corrections, but do consider those corrections necessary in the coccyx area, or where the coccyx joins the latter portion of the segments in the cerebrospinal system.
11. (Q) What is the trouble at the coccyx?
    (A) Dis-association.
12. (Q) Please give the origin of all this trouble.
    (A) It began about thirty-five thousand years ago! This is the trouble! But for the immediate conditions here, follow these suggestions and put the trust and faith in a divine influence; and if the entity adheres to these we may find relief. For, whence cometh life? It is given to thee. What will ye, as an entity, do about it? Use it to find fault, condemn something or somebody? Or will you apply it as though you appreciated it?
    For ye have found, as ye find in self, there is much to be desired; even under the stress, however, ye have found much that is good. Then act like it!
13. (Q) What should be done for the gum condition?
    (A) Massage the gums with an equal combination of baking soda and table salt, and occasionally use Ipsab as something to relieve the tendencies for irritation in the gums. Occasionally, once or twice a week, use the liquid Ipsab as a purifier. And with the follow-up of all those things suggested, there will be help.
14. We are through with this reading.

    Two copies to Self (one for Dr. Mulford)
    Copy to Ass'n file
    Two under case number for indexing
    (Ipsab may be secured for $1 a bottle from Mr. A. M. Godfrey, 2709 Lafayette Blvd., Norfolk, Va.)

REPORTS

1. 5/03/44 [3517]'s ltr. to EC:
   ..., Ohio
   Mr. Edgar Cayce Arctic Circle Virginia Beach, Virginia
   Dear Mr. Cayce,
   I do hate to bother you when I know how busy you all are down there, but something has very definitely gone wrong with our mails up here.
   I had a check reading with you two weeks ago today, April 19th, and apparently my copy has been lost in transit. This is not the first time in the past few weeks that my mail has been misdirected, but it is inconvenient.
   I am wondering if you will be so kind as to send me another copy just as soon as it is possible to get it off. I realize that this will involve extra work in your office, so will be glad to pay any extra charge you care to put on the trouble. If you will just advise me the charges, I shall be glad to include it in my check for the reading which I will mail on receipt of copy.
   I am most anxious to have this reading, as one of my doctors is due to arrive in town either this week or next. He is the one about whose ideas I questioned you in the reading.
   Sincerely, [3517]
2. 10/06/44 [3517]'s ltr. to EC:
   Mr. Edgar Cayce Arctic Circle Virginia Beach
   Dear Mr. Cayce:
   As I am booked for a Life Reading for October 10th, I wish to advise that I will be at my place of business, second floor, ...
   The three questions I wish answered, and please ask in exact wording as I am giving them:
   Give the exact minute of birth into my present life.
   Please tell me exactly what field and in what city I should seek success in the professional world. Please trace thru my present life and give the exact source and time from which my facial disorder originated.
   Check will follow upon receipt of reading.
   Many, many thanks, and good luck.
   Sincerely, [3517]
   [Appointment naturally had to be cancelled due to EC's illness.]
