TEXT

1. 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.
2. EC: Now we find, while the conditions as have been brought about by the physical actions of the body itself, towards its own physical condition, have been serious, these are at the present time arighting themselves through those means as have been applied for the body, and this only needs to be kept in this way and manner for this condition to be overcome entirely.
3. Now, as for the physical conditions as we find with this body, irrespective of this present condition that has been brought about through the own efforts of the individual itself, these are different.
4. These are the conditions as we find in this respect, irrespective of that as has been created in the tissue of throat, of the lungs and of the mouth:
5. The blood supply in the body very good, yet kept constantly in that state of creating too much of that as is necessary to be eliminated through the system for this to be carried out in its normal way and manner. Hence the constant increase in the size of the spleen, and the trouble as is experienced by the body through this condition, with the pains as produced in the torso, especially along the left side, is from this engorgement of this portion in the system.
6. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, the constant strain of this in the system has brought certain enlargements in various portions of the body. Hence the tendency at times to become spasmodic, over irritable through this respect, as well as from others, in the various portions of the system, and this gives to the digestive system the inability of assimilation in the proper way and manner, for with the engorgement in the ganglions about the hypogastric plexus, we find that the stomach produces that which, with foods, poisons its own self, and this produces in the digestion, then, that which makes eliminations all the harder, and assimilations very poor.
7. To overcome these conditions as have been produced in this way and manner, will of necessity be that the entity - the ENTITY - in its entirety, master first itself and its inclinations, see? for, with every physical reaction in the system, it (the reaction) first has its inception through that as is created in the system, either through the mental forces of the entity itself, or that as is taken into it by the assimilations in the system.
8. To correct those in this instance is to be first through that mental force of the entity, and that will only be through that of the effort of the entity itself, see? This is irrespective of those conditions, of course, that have come about which have been created by self in the system. Were the body to follow out that line, especially would it be well then for the entity to study such as that as is seen in Unity. Do that.
9. We are through with this reading.

   Mr. Edgar Cayce 115 West 35th Street Virginia Beach, Va.
   Dear Judge:
   I have a very dear friend, [4297] who received a reading from you several days ago, and who has had a rather peculiar situation to arise in his home which has caused his wife quite a little trouble.
   Will you kindly give her a reading at your earliest convenience because the Doctors seem baffled and she has been in very great pain as to what the condition is.
   We just wish a complete physical reading with treatment and cure. Her name is [4298], Brooklyn, N.Y. and she is at home every day during the coming week. Would appreciate your attending to this right away and I will see you next Friday, as I am now planning to leave New York to visit you at that time.
   With kindest personal regards and looking forward to seeing you soon, beg to remain
   Sincerely, [signed] Dave DEK:BBS Enc: Check $15.
