TEXT

1. EC: Now, we find there are abnormal conditions for this physical body. There are conditions that are of the specific nature that produce much of the abnormal conditions in the functioning of the organs, so we have an abnormal functioning condition rather than of the organic condition, other than the functioning through the organ.
2. The conditions that are to be corrected have to do with that portion of the tissue in the portions of the body affected, as we have in the intestinal tract and in the limbs, and in the locomotories of the body, in the renewing of the nutriment necessary to produce normal functioning, or to give the incentives for the system to function normal.
3. Now, these are conditions as we find them in this body, Mrs. [3878] we are speaking of. First:
4. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, this we find below normal, yet sufficient that the body gives the rebuilding of portion so of the body in a manner, but all too often does it require the stored energy necessary in the system to meet the resistance, and the energy in the nerve forces is gradually being used up, so the body will become not only the anaemitized, from the condition of the blood, but the excess in the muscular forces so taxed as to produce then non-functioning of these, if the condition is allowed to remain. In the numbers then in red and white blood supply we find both deficient, though we find the lymphatic forces in the system abundant. Hence the swelling we have in portions of the body. Lack of assimilation by the circulatory system of properties prepared in the system for the bodily use.
5. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, we find as these:
6. There are specific centers that have been impinioned until the branches from these nerve plexuses lack in their nutriment to supply the functioning organs. These we find specific in the second lumbar plexus and in the tenth and eleventh dorsal plexus. Hence we find first we had a condition where the system suffered from the intestinal troubles by the constipation, until the system absorbed so much of the toxins thus thrown in the system, until lesions are formed about these plexuses, nature attempting to produce proper coordination; the mental forces reacting with this, through the nerve strain, under which the body has gone in times back, also producing the taxing to the hypogastric center and preventing digestion taking place properly in the system, by the lack of the lacteal fluids being created properly in the system to care for the condition. Hence we have had, as it were, a cycle of the conditions in the intestinal tract, where we have produced inflammation. Then, the system absorbing these toxins, the blood attempting to eliminate through capillary circulation in the locomotories, as we have in those to the lower limbs; the knees, the feet, the hips have given much trouble. The arms, across the brachial plexus have given distress, in the hands, elbow and in the shoulders. This has been in worse condition than it is at the present time, this we see produced by the condition in the nerve system, when taken in conjunction with other conditions existing in the functioning organs.
7. IN THE ORGANS THEMSELVES, brain forces very good.
8. The sensory organism taxed, yet for the age the condition in the body these are very good.
9. Lungs, throat, bronchials have given trouble at times from extra amount of secretions as have been brought to these portions by congestion. At present very good.
10. The digestive tract better at present than it has been in times back, though there is too much of the hypogastric foods or fluids carried in the system. Not enough of the lacteal or of those properties that produce digestion properly in the lower intestinal tract.
11. Heart action normal for the blood supply and its abnormal pressure.
12. In the liver, pancreas, duodenum, we find distressed conditions, for the system has been forced to create the excess of those fluids of these juices necessary to carry digestion under an acid state, when it should be alkaline. Hence we have an engorged right lobe of liver, and in the emunctories these are excessive in their secretions. Hence the inability to control the intestinal tract or to prevent the stoppage of foods or of dross in the traverse [transverse?] colon.
13. High hepatic circulation.
14. Kidneys overtaxed at times, attempting to eliminate these toxins, though no organic condition.
15. Then, to bring the relief to this body necessary, and to bring the normal conditions, we would first relax by manipulation (osteopathically or chiropractically) those conditions in the dorsal and lumbar regions and release the nerve tension in these portions of the body, taking into the system this:
16. To 15 ounces of distilled water add 15 grains Chloride of Gold with 15 grains Bicarbonate of Soda.
17. The dose would be 5 drops in half a glass of water twice each day. The system should have the whole quantity before it stops taking these properties.
18. Every afternoon and evening apply the violet ray over the whole length of the cerebro-spinal system and along the nerve branches, and along the brachial [several words missing] massage every second or third day until the corrections are properly made.
19. Do not eat meats, save fish or fowl. Vegetable matter and all of those properties carrying, especially, the green vegetable matter.
20. Do this. We will find we will, within three to six months, bring the body to the perfect normal condition.

BACKGROUND

1. 5/30/24 [3878]'s letter:
   Hopkinsville, Ky.
   Mr. Edgar Cacye,
   Dear Mr. Cayce,
   Mrs. Tobin [Willie Cayce Tobin] has been telling me of your wonderful work, and as I have seen Mrs. Casey [EC's mother], how much she has improved, thought, I would get you to try my case. This has been coming on me gradually, for at least 10 or 12 years. I have tried a great many things, but have found nothing to help me. If you can cure me, I know I can get several more persons to have you treat them. I have several things the matter with me. I don't know if it is necessary for me to tell you what they are, but if it is you can let me know, and I will be glad to tell you. I hope you can help me. I will be glad to pay you. Hoping to hear from you soon, I remain [3878]
2. 7/08/24 [3878]'s letter:
   Hopkinsville, Ky.
   Mr. E. Cayce,
   Dear Sir
   I read your letter and card and I am enclosing one $1.00 D. to let you know that I am in good faith. I know it isn't enough but will do better next time, with the help of GOD. I pray that you may help me. I know that we cannot do anything without his help, so am hoping with his good will, and your help, I may be cured.
   Yours sincerely, Mrs. [3878]
