TEXT

1. LBC: You have before you [3772], near ..., Ky.
2. EC: Yes, we have had him here before.
3. LBC: Go over him carefully, examine him thoroughly and tell us what his condition is now.
4. There is a great deal of difference in it now from what it was before. Let me get it all together.
5. You see, the body has become weak now. We have a temperature now of 104; then we have the condition of the system of the body in itself. We have had here the trouble through the intestinal tract, and lower end of the intestines here have become lacerated and open and sore, and produced inflammation, set up through the intestinal tract, and especially the lower end of the stomach, producing a form of peritonitis through him. The inflammation of the intestinal tract produced then an overstimulation through the hepatics. These act in turn, you see, and produce an overstimulation to the circulation, or the heat to the body. As we have it now, the body has become impoverished. The opening of these lacerations makes all the intestines becoming inflamed. The system is in a state of mortification in itself, being unable to pass from it the juices. This condition we have of lowness through the body in itself, producing then, as it were the body living off the lymphatics. That is, the muscular fibre in the texture of the skin in all operations of the body. Quick breath, - the flow of blood, very low.
6. (Q) What treatment would you prescribe to relieve these conditions?
   (A) It is not much. See, we have here a condition that we can only reach through the solar plexus, or stimulation to the solar plexus nerve center, at the 9th dorsal. We stimulate these until we remove the condition here from it. Coldness along the abdomen here, down low. Stimulations into the circulation to keep the heart action going as far as possible. Something rubbed into the skin to produce or give the body something to live on. It has to stimulate something through the system from the outside. Rub the limbs, keep the body as much in motion as possible. That is, the exterior of the skin. Get it to stimulate then through the system, and keep the body alive.
7. (Q) What would you rub it with?
   (A) Anything to stimulate through the system.

REPORTS

1. He never received the treatment. [signed] L. B. Cayce
2. 7/06/28 EC's letter to Mr. [3772]'s daughter, [715], stated that Mr. [3772] became interested in the readings first because of Gertrude Cayce's cure.
3. 1/12/34 EC's letter to [3772]'s niece, Mrs. [635], said about Mrs. [635]'s cousin and Mr. [3372]'s nephew: "[486] drinks very badly, possibly as bad or worse than [3772], whom they [[486]'s family] used to condemn so much."
4. GD's note: EC gave subsequent readings for other members of [3772]'s immediate family, of which we have copies, as follows, according to date sequence: [5086], son; [1181], wife; [1690], daughter; [715], daughter.
   His brother, [304], often told how [3772] need not have died if he could just have gotten the treatment followed.
