First, in times back we find there were properties (medicinal
properties) taken into the system that were too strong for
the system to assimilate without direct action upon the mucus
producing coating of the stomach, in the lower end, and in
the jejunum. This, as we see, produced then lacerations.
Following this, we find there were those exertions in a
physical manner wherein there were certain subligations as
were produced in the lumbar and lower dorsal region. This
subligation causes impingement of nerves to portions of the
digestion, especially to the lower end of the stomach. A
portion of this subligation divides, affecting both upper and
lower portion - pyloric and cardiac. Hence we find that the
digestion has been disturbed, not in the way and manner as to
produce so much indigestion, as would apparently be from the
conditions, but rather the orifices in both ends of the
stomach have become lacerated or ulcerated - and conditions
as we find that show in the mucus of the system, especially
in the mouth, and along the throat. These are reflexes, and,
as it were, signs of existing conditions. Also we find from
same, in the capillary circulation, those evidences of
impurities in the system not being eliminated through their
normal channels - the heaviness to the feet, the tendency for
perspiration, and towards soreness in the toes - between the
toes - produced by this unbalanced circulation and by poisons
being left in the extremities by the division between
capillary and internal circulation, or the change from the
arterial to the vein circulation.
In the general condition, then, we find these as those to be
corrected at the present time.
To correct same, first we would have those conditions in the
cerebro-spinal system corrected - especially those in the
lumbar and dorsal region - osteopathically would we have
these corrected, taking at least six to eight such
adjustments and regular and full treatments, for the
treatments in the correction of the subligations are as
necessary as the adjustments. While the adjustments
alleviate and allow the free action of nerves, the tissue as
has been involved with same needs stimulation for the inner
or extremities of nerve reaction.
Taking in the system, from the time this begins, those
properties as will be found in this: Take the small quantity
of Saffron Tea. This to supply the system rather than the
water. Then, as we would see, small quantities, but taken
often. Be made as this proportion: One to forty. One ounce
of the Saffron Bark to forty ounces of water, steamed or
heated for at least fifteen to twenty minutes, see? This
should be taken as the water.
Small doses of olive oil - pure olive oil, should be taken.
The foods - never too much meats. Rather vegetables - though
meat JUICES or broth may be taken.
Keep this up, and we will find this will correct these
conditions, alleviating the condition in the stomach, in the
intestines, overcoming the tendency towards constipation, and
that as is seen in the system - correcting the circulation
through the correction of those subligations - bringing the
normal flow in elimination and assimilation for the body. Do
that. Ready for questions.
(Q) What causes the itching of the scalp, and what should be
done to relieve same? How can the baldness be prevented?
(A) Correct the circulation and we will find this will be
overcome. The baldness and the tendency towards same (though
we find apparently sufficient of the hair starts and then
stops again) would be overcome by using white vaseline,
cutting same with the very little alcohol added to plain
water - one - two to three drops, added to five to ten ounces
of water.
(Q) What makes the body nervous after a hard day's work?
What remedy?
(A) Just this as has been given - the overtaxing through the
nerve condition, see?
(Q) Am bothered with my right side at times. What is the
trouble and how should it be remedied?
(A) Is it a wonder, with the condition as exists in the
duodenum and in the intestinal tract, that he is bothered
with the right side? All this whole portion is affected,
see? Do as we have given, if we would correct these
conditions.
We are through for the present.

Mr. Edgar Cayce
Dear Sir,
Am writing you to have you make a reading for me. Have tried
many so-called remedies with no results. I am bothered very
much with an itching scalp and am getting bald. Am pretty
nervous after a hard day's work, am bothered some with my
right side at times. Please let me hear from you soon. When
I am sitting down and go to raise up quick everything turns
black. I will be here something like two weeks or longer. I
am 28 years old. My address will be ...

Mr. Edgar Cayce
Dear Sir,
Received your letter and am answering you to tell you I will
have the reading made on date you mentioned. But will not
return card until about Aug. 10 or 12 as I am unable to state
where I will be at that date at this time. Would like to
have you locate the cause of the sores that come in my mouth,
when the reading is made.
I am respectively - Mr. [

..., Mo.
Mr. Cayce
Dear Sir,
Am sending you my brother's card also check for first
payment. Sincerely hope you will be able to get a good
reading. He is very anxious to get the reading. He is
becoming bald. New hair will come in but when a half inch
long fall out. He is very nervous. A Dr. told him his
stomach, liver & kidneys were bad. Also had appendicitis.
You may send the reading on to his address in ..., Mo. I am
still feeling pretty good myself.
REPORTS
11/23/26 Sister [
4358]'s letter: "I received the copy of my
brother's reading, he received the original also. Says you
told him better how he felt than he could tell it himself.
He went to a Dr. - the best he could find in Kansas City and
she told him exactly as you told him. He was well pleased
with the reading and thanks you many times. When he last
wrote me said he was feeling lots better than he had for a
long time. He is carrying out as you said, only he could not
get the Saffron Bark but got petals.
"He received the booklet and card in regards to the hospital
and I am forwarding it on to him."
