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 there are those physical conditions that cause the abnormal development with this body. These conditions have to do with that abnormality as has already been created by improper functioning and distribution of the effects created in system by pituitary glands not functioning in a normal way and manner, and with the pressure as is created in the cerebrospinal nerve centers these will not be relieved until pressure is removed from same, and that vibration added to the system that would bring the reaction necessary for the full development, not only of the glands as affecting the body at the base of the brain through the medulla oblongata, but those of the normal functioning of the central brain in the solar plexus center radiating that from the umbilicus plexus.
3. Then, to meet the needs of these conditions, and to bring about the normal forces for the body, we would prepare this to be applied to the body to carry the correct vibration to this system. We would build a machine like this:
4. In a three (3) gallon glass jar or crock, put two (2) gallons of rain water. Then put:

   Copper Sulfate.....................1 pound,
Sulfuric Acid C.P..................1 ounce,
Willow Charcoal....................3 ounces,
Common Zinc........................5 drams,
Heavy Sea Salt.....................6 ounces.

5. Prepare a covering for the container of wood, with two (2) holes in same, so that poles may be put into this solution. The poles should be half inch flat and quarter inch thick. One of nickel, the other of copper. To the ends of these poles (projecting above the wooden top) attach covered copper wires. To the end of these wires - to the one that is of copper attach a small plate of copper (size of fifty cent piece), with attachments so that same may be attached to the body of the child. To the other pole attach a wire and a larger plate (two inches in diameter) to the end of this wire, and that of nickel. In between the pole and the plate attach a lead wire, and same is placed through a two (2) - ounce container (glass), or through the cork, so it projects into the solution, of two (2) ounces of distilled water, with five (5) grains Chloride of Gold, see? This should be attached to the body - these plates - for an hour each day. Attach the small plate to the base of brain, see? and this attached first, see? so it is in contact with same, see? The larger flat plate to be attached to the umbilicus, see?
6. After this has been used for five (5) hours - that is, an hour each day, or five (5) days, begin with the adjustments of the cerebrospinal nerve centers and the vertebraes, or adjustment of the vertebraes and the massage of the muscular tissue surrounding the cartilaginous forces as connect same, so that the body may respond to the vibration as is created by the electro vibration of the gold to the developing system, see?
7. When this (and the solution may be kept for this long, if covered) has been used for sixty (60) days, then we would give those necessary changes as are seen for the further development of the normal forces for this body. Do that.
8. (Q) Should the massage be given osteopathically?
   (A) Be given osteopathically. Massage and adjustments given osteopathically, and there will be seen the changes as take place in the body from these vibrations as are set up. Every third (3rd) day attach to the base of brain. Every OTHER day (begin though with attaching to brain, see?) attach to wrist or ankle, either one, see? but attach the small plate first, and the larger plate - that the current passes through the gold solution - to the umbilicus, each day. Do that, as given. Prepare this as given, and we will bring better conditions for this body, [4613], you see.
9. (Q) Is this lead wire on the wires that has the nickel pole and plate?
   (A) As given, on the nickel pole and plate. See, the lead wire passes into the gold solution. When this is taken from the body do not allow any of the plates to come in contact with each other, and each day the lead wire going into the two (2) ounce container should be taken out and cleansed, see? and when solution shows any sedimentary condition from the vibratory forces as set up, add new solution in the gold, see? The solution as is in jar may be changed at the end of thirty (30) days, but prepared in the same way and manner as given. At the end of sixty (60) days we would give the necessary changes for this body.
10. (Q) How often should the osteopathic adjustments be made?
    (A) Every other day, AFTER five days.
11. We are through for the present.

BACKGROUND

1. 1/28/27 Father [554]'s letter: "A friend has advised me to get in touch with you feeling quite sure that you can assist me. I have a boy who was 6 yrs. old 1/25th last who has given us quite a little trouble. I am wondering if you can advise me what to do and what to expect."
2. 1/09/28 See mother's letter under 4613-2 Reports.

REPORTS

1. 4/15/27 Letter from EC to Mr. [554]: "We enclose the reading that was gotten at the appointed time. I am in hopes that you will be able, and will, to carry out the suggestions that are made for your son. While there is little given regarding his physical condition, there is a great deal given regarding what should be done for the improvement of his condition at present, and I must say this is the very first application of THIS character that has ever been given - but I feel very sure that this can be prepared, and if you will have same prepared for the boy - have the suggestions carried out fully, by the time the next treatment should be given you would see a great deal of improvement.
   "We shall appreciate your letting us hear from you, for we assure you it is our sincere desire to be of help if possible."
2. 4/19/27 Letter from [554] to EC: "Your letter and reading of the 15th has been received and I note that your diagnosis of this case is in agreement with the Medical World.
   "Your suggestions will be fully carried out and will be started just as soon as we can get the machine built. If there are any further readings I will be glad to mail you a cheque every time you send me a copy of same.
   "There is one question I want to ask to make it clear. Does it make any difference what ankle or wrist the disk is applied to?"
3. 4/19/27 Form filled out and returned from father [554]: "Your diagnosis is in agreement with medical world - and your suggestions will be carried out in all its detail."
4. 4/20/27 Letter from EC to [554]: "Replying to yours of the 19th, I wish to thank you for the report. No, it does not make any difference which ankle or which wrist the small plate is attached to. It is well that these be alternated, but this plate must be attached before the larger one is attached to the central portion of the body. We are very anxious regarding this condition, and we hope that you will let us hear from you from time to time respecting same."
5. 5/25/27 Letter to EC from [554]: "A week ago last Wed. was the first day the treatment was used as you suggested and we hope that we will have great success with same.
   "Will you send future correspondence to my home address ... Phila., Pa. as I expect to be out of town for the next five or six weeks.
   "Would greatly appreciate if you will give me further information when you think it is about time for same."
6. 5/27/27 Letter from EC to [554]: "I'm glad to know that you have gotten things together for the treatment of the body. After these treatments have been given for about thirty days, I think another reading should be made, to check up on any conditions that may necessitate a change, or whatever is necessary."
7. 6/15/27 Mother [629]'s letter: "I am enclosing a ck. for $10 and would ask you to kindly give [4613] another rdg. We are following your instructions exactly as given. We have given [4613] 28 treatments and as we expect to go away July the 1st or 4th I would ask you to kindly to give [4613] another rdg. at once and advise us just how to proceed.
   "[4613] is very restless during the night, otherwise seems more cheerful.
   "If you will write me when you will give [4613] the rdg. I will be sure to keep him home at your given time without answering you so as to save time you see?
   "We are giving [4613] the osteopathic treatments every other day as per your instructions."
8. 7/25/27 Letter from [554] to EC: "Your letter sent to Philadelphia containing the notice of your reading of July 11, did not reach us until today owing to our change of address for the summer to ..., Long Island.
   "Will you kindly let me know by return mail whether you can give another rdg. while [4613] is in ...
   "In regards to his treatment, in making the move to ... we were unable to give his treatment for about 10 days as we were not able to get the solution made quickly. [4613] is feeling much better than he did when Mrs. [629] wrote you."
9. 8/02/27 Letter from GD to Mr. [554]: "Your ltr. of the 25th, addressed to Mr. Cayce, received. We are very sorry that we have not been able to comply with your request before this - but with the changes as have been taking place (of which you are possibly aware, from data sent you regarding Assoc. of National Investigators, Inc.) delay has been caused, but we are now ready to make appointments under the operation of the Assoc., and we hope that you will send us your application for membership to the Assoc. at once, that we may make the appointment right away.
   "We realize, Mr. [554], this works considerable hardship for those who are desirous of rdgs. immediately, but we trust the delay will not be harmful at this time, and we feel so sure that when we once have this work functioning in its proper way and manner, we will be so much better able to serve mankind, individually and collectively. "Hoping that we may hear from you at once..."
10. 9/02/27 Mother [629]'s letter to EC: "Your ltr. of Aug. 31st received. It will be entirely satisfactory for us to have a rdg. on Friday, Sept 9, 1927.
    "[4613] sleeps so poorly during the night. I wish something could be done for him in that respect. Am sorry we lost some time through leaving Phila. but hope we will be able to go right ahead with a cure for [4613] in the future."
