TEXT

1. EC: The abnormal conditions as we find in this body have to do with the cellular force in the system, and the replenishing of same through the action of the system.
2. Now these are the conditions as we find them in this body, Mrs. [3888] we are speaking of:
3. The blood supply throughout the system is deficient in its ability especially to rebuild in the system, to give the cellular forces necessary to replenish the used forces, so that with the whole system there is a depleted condition, or the incentives of the muscle or nerve forces to carry out their whole function, and functioning had become below normal.
4. There is not a sufficient number of red blood cells, there are sufficient of the white, but their potency is not up to the normal condition, for we find that through the eliminating centers and eliminating organs in the blood supply that these are deficient.
5. The nerve forces over the whole system are very good in their elemental force. The brain force and the action of the cerebrospinal forces are very good. The action between the sympathetic and the cerebrospinal is not as good, for with the circulation as carried with the nerve forces, they become of the languid, dilatory kind in their action. They become listless, though while the cell forces of the body are sufficient to carry out the functioning of these organs, and to the whole system, yet, with the condition existing, they become inactive, and even the involuntary forces become below normal.
6. These conditions we find are being produced in the system by the auto- intoxication from the hepatic circulation, hence we find through the heart glands it shows at times in the body and keeps too high hepatic circulation, and affecting both poles of the hepatic circulation; reducing the efficiency of the blood making poor elimination through both of these organs, and affecting the system in the manner as we have given here. While we find the functioning organs - the functioning of all organs as functioning organs within themselves, function, yet languidly, on account of the condition existing over the whole system.
7. To give a better incentive to all of the nervus centers and to give correct incentives to the functining of the organs of the nervous centers and to give the correct incentives to the functioning of the organs themselves, without disturbing their equilibrium and to overcome the conditions as exist through the system causing this condition, it would be better if the body would travel. Ocean would be best. Rest and water. Or, for the present surroundings and conditions, which would be slower and not as certain to the amending of the conditions, would be to take into the system those elements that would give the incentive, with as little resistive force produced in the body as possible. We would take this:
8. To one gallon of rain water, add:

   Wild Cherry Bark..............4 ounces,
Sweet Gum.....................2 ounces,
Yellow Dock Root..............2 ounces,
Blackberry Root.............1/2 ounce,
Golden Seal.................1/2 ounce.

   This would be reduced by simmering to one quart; strain, and while warm, add,

   Grain Alcohol.................4 ounces, and
Ambergris....................20 grains.

   The dose would be two teaspoonsful three times each day.
9. Let the diet be of vegetables rather than of meats. Mrs. [3888] present in this room.
10. (Q) Mr. Cayce, following the treatment as prescribed, how long a time will be necessary to bring this body back to normalcy?
    (A) It depends on the condition of the mind and body itself in which one is taken.
11. (Q) While taking the medicinal properties you have given?
    (A) Then, watch the mind develop with it.
12. (Q) Have you any further suggestions to make for this body for its good?
    (A) We don't suggest.
