(Q) What is the condition of the lungs at the present time?
(A) These are very good. There is still some congestion in
spots wherein the bacilli has attacked the blood and causes
the improper oxidization in system, gives distress at times
in the blood supply.
In the condition wherein the body needs correction more at
present from long condition is in the manner in which the
liver clarifies, through the emunctories of same, the blood
before entering the lung, and after leaving lung, for with
this condition as exists in liver, lung cannot clarify
properly until proper eliminations take place in the liver
proper.
Now, we find this in great deal better conditions, and the
amount of poisons, of toxins, as have been carried in system
greatly diminished, yet there meeds be that perfect
clarification through lung and liver, that same may correlate
in their functioning, for as we have with the existing
condition, the blood supply, becoming super-heated by the
exercise or taxing of body, brings too much of blood to or
from a given position in body. Now, as we have, the
circulation produces in its course the general form of a
figure eight, passing then we see twice through liver and
heart forces. When super-heated by any undue action, the
calling, or filling, of liver or of lung gives depression in
the left side, upper portion of lung, dilating heart.
Then, to reduce this, keep that stimulation for the liver and
the excretory system, or emunctories in same. We will find
by aiding the clarification of the blood in lung, in liver,
by the direct rays of Alpine rays, or rays from the Alpine
light, would assist in relieving this condition. This should
be directed about two and a half to three feet from the body
for at least two and a half to three minutes in liver and in
lung region, upper portion, left side, lung, central portion
liver.
(Q) Is there any involvement of the heart? If so, what?
(A) Only the dilation of same with undue exercise.
(Q) What is the cause of the shortness of breath?
(A) Super-heating of blood supply, causing the body, as it
were, to gasp for breath, for the lungs lack the capacity of
being able to extricate blood, or to draw blood. They each
act in a different way. Once we will find it will be lack,
again it will be the too fullness of same. When we have too
fullness of same, gasp or grasp for breath, full heart, and
pains. When the lack of it, we have the depression and
aching through those portions of the body wherein the lack of
supply comes, dead, numb, tingling feeling.
(Q) What causes the aching in left arm and in chest?
(A) This same condition. Lack of blood when there's aching
in arm and chest. Fullness in heart and depression, there's
shortness of breath, too much fullness in lung.
(Q) What is the general condition of the body?
(A) Greatly improved from that as we have had before. Only
necessary, as we would find, to clarify, stimulate, blood
flow, especially in liver and in lung with the treatments as
have been given, osteopathically, and using the strong ray,
or we would have the same effect were the body to go to very
warm clime, rest and take sand and sun baths.
(Q) Any other treatment?
(A) Clarification, oxidization, in the manner which we will
have through assimilation through the system, as outlined,
using consistency and persistency, we should bring the body,
and will bring the body to the normal forces.
We are through for the present.

4300]'s ltr. to EC:
Mr. Edgar Cayce,
Dayton, O.
Dear Brother Cayce:-
I am writing you from a country place in western Indiana
where I came to spend several days during my vacation season.
I am planning to go next week to Rochester, Minn. to the Mayo
Clinic for a thorough examination and treatment. My case has
grown steadily worse until I am face to face with the
possibility of giving up work entirely. My heart is not
right. Perhaps the Mayos can tell just what is working on it
and causing the trouble.
The expense of a trip to Minnesota will be much, as you know,
and I have already spent so much in an effort to get well
that I have but very little left to spend. In fact my
present bank account will scarcely be able to take me to the
Mayos, in case I should have to stay longer than a few days.
I am wondering, Brother, whether you would not feel like
helping me to make the trip. Inasmuch as I was not cured by
your treatment, I thought you might, under the terms of our
agreement, be willing to refund at least a part of the fee
paid you a year ago last January. May the blessings of the
Father be upon you in all your work, and may He guide in this
matter.
Very Sincerely
Yours in the Lord,

Mr. [4300]:
Dear Brother [
4300]:
I'm sorry indeed to know that your condition has grown to
such a state that you find it necessary to go the Mayo's for
an examination, but I certainly hope that this will prove
most successful and that you will obtain the relief that you
so desire. I would be very glad to contribute to this to aid
you in gaining your health if I was financially fixed so that
I could do so, but as perhaps you realize, although you paid
twenty-five dollars for the work that we tried to do, I have
paid out a little bit more than a hundred dollars to ones who
have tried to be of assistance to you, and this is as much,
and really more, than I am financially able to do. I assure
you, however, I shall be glad to do whatever it is possible
for me to do from time to time. I hope that you will have a
very successful trip and receive the very best attention. I
know of course of the work of this institution and how they
operate same, and I know you'll see the care and attention
the same as if you were paying them a thousand dollars for an
examination.
I trust you will let me hear from you from time to time.
With kindest personal regards,
Sincerely, Edgar Cayce EC:GD
