TEXT

GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with suggestions for further corrective measures, answering the questions, as I ask them:
EC: Yes, this we have had before.
As we find, there are improvements. There should be, then, some personal consideration by the entity of the general situations. Don't overeat nor yet undereat; don't tempt self with those things which are hard to digest or those things which tend to produce greater constipation.
Do have the evacuation of the alimentary canal daily, though it requires that the body at times take senna tea. These would be used as the eliminants and when the toxic forces in system are kept eliminated from the alimentary canal we will have better conditions of the body.
Do occasionally have, once in ten days or once in a week, the osteopathic treatments. Do keep these for at least another ten to sixteen such treatments, and we should begin to see permanent helpfulness for the body.
Ready for questions.
(Q) Have I followed instructions correctly?
(A) Very well. Some of the adjustments have been too much stimulating but if there is kept the relaxation, we will find bettered conditions, and do keep up the eliminations. Senna pods, three to four in a cup, pour boiling water and let it set for half an hour, strain, cool and drink. Do this once or twice a week. It is not habit forming, though it may require more, after a period, unless activities in diet are such as to correct some of this disturbance. It may require increasing of the dose of same.
(Q) What causes strained feeling in lower part of back?
(A) It will be necessary to keep the toxic conditions eliminated through the alimentary canal. These cause heaviness in pelvis, tiredness and burning in the feet. These will gradually disappear as better eliminations are set up.
(Q) How often should the osteopathic treatments be given?
(A) As has been indicated, once a week or one in ten days. Do that.
Do these things which have been indicated.
We are through with this reading.

REPORTS

6/09/44 [3901]'s letter:
Dear Mr. Cayce,
My memory played a dreadful trick on me yesterday and I was not at home at the time my check reading was scheduled - 6/08/44 3:30 - 4:30 EWT.
I can only offer my sincerest apologies and hope that you may be able to find another date for me if you couldn't locate me yesterday.
I may as well take this opportunity to report on my condition.
I go to the osteopath once a week. She says my back is better.
I feel better and have been able to do more things the last few weeks. I am able to swim and play tennis several times a week now.
My back often aches at the end of a busy day, but it is much better than it was. I still have the excessive perspiration and poor complexion.
Yours sincerely, [3901]
6/15/44 EC's letter:
Miss [3901] ..., California
Dear Miss [3901]
I am in hopes that you will find the information that we undertook for you alright.
We understood, from what was said, that you possibly weren't at home, but we went ahead and got it anyway. I hope it works out just fine.
I am glad to know that you are feeling better. I am sure as you go ahead you will improve right along.
Do let us hear from you from time to time. With every good wish, I am
Sincerely, Edgar Cayce EC/wi
7/28/44 [3901]'s letter:
..., Calif. Dear Mr. Cayce,
Despite the fact that I was not home at the time of my check reading, June 8, 3:30-4:30 P.M. E.W.T., (as I wrote you shortly after) the reading seems to be all right.
I am continuing the osteopathic treatments, as suggested, every 10 days. I will have about eight more of these.
I took one dose of the senna tea and felt slight stomach cramps but noticed no other effects.
I am continuing to improve. My face still has occasional skin outbreaks but on the whole is better. Everything else, (with the exception of the perspiring hands and feet which do not seem to have been effected by this treatment) is greatly improved. My elimination has never been better.
My condition has improved 100% over what it was at this time last year.
Many, many thanks for your kind and loving service.
Sincerely, [3901]
11/21/44 [3901]'s letter:
Dear Gladys Davis,
Although I usually send my tithe money to the Association, this time I am making out the check to Mr. Cayce. I want him to use it to recover his health so that he may continue his fine work.
Sincerely, [3901]
(GD's note: Sent her tithe money, $10.20. Send Thank You note and return to me, 2/01/45.)
GD's note: Mrs. [3901] continued her tithing to the A.R.E. and her active interest in the A.R.E. work for several years but had to curtail her activities when her babies began to come.
