TEXT

GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find at the present time. You will diagnose the case thoroughly, giving the cause of the existing conditions, also the treatment for the cure and relief of this body.
EC: Now, we find there are some abnormal conditions with this body, and there are many that the body should be warned of. The condition as causes the greater distress is that of the heart's action, and the effects as are produced by this condition, so the body may know that distress as is causes in the capillary circulation and the abrasions as show in the cuticle are from the effects of this abnormal, subnormal, condition of the heart's action.
These, then, are the conditions as we find them in this body. First:
IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, this we find super charged by the toxins as are carried in the system by this over taxation and the poor eliminations as are carried on through this over taxing of the emunctories of the system.
IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, this very good in the many respects, yet the stress and strain on the system at times rather brings the taxation to the sympathetic through the subserviency of the physical to the subliminal self - that is, the attempt of the system to produce the equilibrium takes, through the sympathetic, charge, as it were, over the whole system. The body finds itself almost unable to keep awake, see?
IN THE FUNCTIONING OF THE ORGANS THEMSELVES, first, the body is too corpulent. This pressure, of course, creates a natural tendency towards the conditions as exist in portions of the body, and this brings on that trouble as is produced around heart and in the digestive system. All, then, under the strain of the heart's action, brought about by strain as has been produced in the system by the inattentiveness to the diet and to the eliminations, that show now their stored effect on the system, through the various organs of the system, heart especially.
Then, to bring about the more normal condition for this body, we would first leave off meats for the body, taking only those for the system of the green vegetable force (and only fish or fowl as meats), especially all that grow above the ground. Take this:
Fowler's solution of arsenic, in this manner: Begin with one drop in half glass of water, taken once each day, preferably before retiring. Take one drop each day for five days. Then two drops each day for five days, each five days, then increasing one drop until the body is taking seven drops. Then rest five days, then begin again with the one drop, repeating this at least three to four times, see? and for those abrasions and the trouble the body has with feet and with other portions of the extremities, apply a solution made as this:
Take one ounce of the bark of Elder. Add to this four ounces of water. Reduce by simmering (not boiling) to one ounce. Strain this off, leaving the find particles rather, however, in the solution - that is, through a sifter or sieve, (not through cloth) strain same. Then add this to six OUNCES of oil of butterfat. Reduce the butter so that we have only the oil, see? Put this on and heat to-gether until this will congeal as a jelly. Add to this, while warm, five minims Spirits of Camphor, and one minim of Oil of Sassafras. Apply this, not over abundantly, just sufficient so that the parts affected will be covered, but rub well in. Do that.
We will find the diet, the taking of the arsenic, the applications to those portions or abrasions, will assist the circulation, bring about a normal condition for the body and relieve this pressure.
Keep the intestinal tract open, using high enemas, rather than salines or ANY cathartic.
We are through for the present.

REMARKS
(You will please state in the space below how near, in your opinion, reading fits your condition, as you know it yourself, and if you expect to carry out the suggestions made for the improvement of your health.)
I am sorry to state Mr. Cayce, you have missed me entirely. My trouble is in the back of my neck. My heart is good, and I am not corpulent - (but under weight). I've tried all doctors for ten years, with no benefits or relief.
Thanking you for your interest I beg to be sincerely yours Miss [3763]
4/15/26 EC's letter to Miss [3763]:
Miss [3763] Dayton, Ohio
My dear Miss [3763]
I am in receipt of your report returned, and I thank you very much for same. This is particularly interesting to us, and we would like to have your cooperation just a bit, if you will grant same, for in our twenty-five years of experience of this kind, this is the second time this has ever occurred. Evidently, the reading was meant for someone else. We would like to ascertain why and how this happened to be this way, if possible. We would like to ask just where you were at the time of the reading, and if you know if there was anyone else at the Miami Hotel by that name. I'm sure this must be the cause, but we want to, if possible, try to find out just how and why this occurred. We would be very glad to try and undertake this again, if you would be so kind as to give us the privilege of doing so. Would it be possible for you to give us a better address for the time of the reading than just the Miami Hotel? Or, if it is to be the Miami Hotel, just WHERE in the hotel will you be? We would appreciate your letting us hear from you.
Sincerely, Edgar Cayce EC:GD
