TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here. Now we find there are some abnormal conditions in the physical forces in this body. They have to do with the nervous system and with the functioning of the organs through portions of the body producing specific conditions in portions of the body.
2. Now these are conditions as we find in this body, [4350], Chicago, Ill.: First, in the circulation we find the body very good at most times. The blood supply being of the nature and character that rebuilds or replenishes in the system and gives the correct incentives to the creative elemental forces of the units of life-giving cells to meet resistance in the body, yet some strain over portions of the body, the units in certain functioning organs break down at times, see. The red blood supply then we find comes above the normal pressure at times, again the vitality of the body, not of blood now, but of the body is below the normal, see, the white blood supply, the lymphatic circulation being all good. The numbers in white being above the normal, hence the amount of secretions thrown off at times, as we see through portions of the body as shown here in the nasal cavity, the bronchials and throat at times, see, the system meeting the resistance and the warriors throwing out their secretions to eliminate from the system.
3. In the nerve supply we find these conditions in the cerebro-spinal nerve centers we find the first and second lumbar region near the brush ends, you see, a lesion formed, that being the seat of the trouble, this being in the false pelvic cavity and near the ilium plexus center, see. This then, reflexly, see, produces another lesion at the 7th dorsal vertebra, which supplies and gives the incentives of circulation through the upper portion of body, namely through the secondary cardiac plexus center, through the neck, head and throat, that is, to the frontal portion of the body. In the sympathetic centers opposite to these lesions we find the reaction and the refractory vibratory forces that produce this congestion in the functioning organs themselves, thus affected, hence we have the congested or the oversecretive forces in the throat, bronchials and larynx at times, soreness of a sort through the lungs, the refraction in the abdomen region produces the soreness at times across this portion of the body, this being really the seat, the other, reaction or the system attempting to produce the correct vibrations. The well supplied forces from blood keep the body as near fit, as it is, see. With the action of the sympathetic and the cerebro-spinal, the mind forces or that of mental work, the important factor that body being one well balances in the mental control of self using discretion and this is a very discrete personage, and there is a difference in personality of course and individuality (the personage we are speaking of here).
4. In the functioning of the organs themselves, we find as this: The brain forces are good. The organs of the sensory system showing reflexly at times, the strain on the sympathetic and from the junction of the sympathetic, cerebro-spinal and sensory nerve centers in the region of the 7th dorsal, the reaction is produced. The condition in the throat, bronchials and larynx show the excess of secretion, the action of the congestion as produced by over-stimulation from lesion, see. The condition of the lung proper being very good, the cells showing at times the contraction of the physical properties in the blood being, as it were, held and producing the spasmodic contraction of the diaphragm in its action at times, especially, when the body is reclining, see. No organic condition as yet, too good a blood supply, see. The digestive tract shows the signs of too strong astringents take by the body to affect circulation in the pulmonaries, though not of an organic nature but has tendency to produce the contraction of the stomach, especially, toward the pyloric end causing the wavering, as it were, of the appetite of the body, that is, the body easily becomes filled while eating, see. Through the hepatic circulation, the liver, we find very good, the lower end of hepatic being affected by the lesion in lumbar, and the excess that the kidneys must discharge from the system for the excretory system, that is, of the capillary circulation and the kidneys throw off the most of the poisons of the system here, you see. In the intestinal tract there was the first beginning of the abnormal conditions at present existing, the lack of secretions being thrown in the system from the perennial gland causing the impacts in this portion of the body (we are speaking of times back now, see). This produced the high circulation. The action of this inflammation first began the lesion in the ilium forces, see. This has been of a gradual growth in the system and is of lateral nature, you see, and we find it at the second, third lumbar, see.
5. To relieve this condition we must give attention to present effects produce in the system as well as the seat of the cause of the condition, see. Do not treat one without the other but give the relief to the system, see, and also the relief to the condition producing same. Take this as a inhalant for the condition in bronchials, throat and lungs:
6. To one (1) quart of Apple Brandy, add:

   Eucalyptol..................1/2 ounce,
Heroin........................5 grains,
Canadian Balsam..............20 minims.

7. Inhale this through nostrils, and mouth also, see, not take the solution internally, but preferably in a charred carrier of a kind, see, and inhale three to four times each twenty four (24) hours for the relief of the local condition, see.
8. Remove by deep manipulation, osteopathically, the condition in the lumbar and that in the upper dorsal region, see.
9. Let the diet be preferably those of easy digestion, gruels and those that give the perfect assimilation and will be easily eliminated, with the most carbon for the system to meet the condition, taking and giving the ozone necessary for the blood supply.
10. Do this, and we will find within thirty days the condition permanently removed from this body, [4350], see.
11. (Q) Mr. Cayce, what first caused these lesions?
    (A) We have just given it. The condition in the intestinal tract, the effect in the ascending colon, traverse colon and inflammation produced therefrom.
12. (Q) Should these lesions be removed by operation?
    (A) Had it been we would have given it so. There have already been operations in this body.
13. (Q) Mr. Cayce, the Apartment that this body [4350] lives in, is it too near the Lake Michigan?
    (A) Had it been we would have given it so. The change in altitude or the change in the surroundings for the body would not relieve that producing the condition that we have given for local condition, and the seat or beginning or that producing the effect as reached through the deep manipulation in the points and parts given and the diet. Do that.
14. (Q) Mr. Cayce, what would you give as a diet of food?
    (A) Just follow what we have given.
