TEXT

1. GC: You will have before you the body of [4613] who was at ..., Philadelphia, Pa., on the 24th day of May, 1928, between the hours of three and five P.M. You will answer the questions which I will ask you regarding this body.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here - this we have had before. Now, there are improvements in the physical and mental conditions of this body from that as we have had before. While these conditions, these improvements, are apparently very slow; yet the very nature of that as produced or produces the condition - through incoordination - necessarily brings the improvement slow, until sufficient of cycles are passed in correcting forces in the system, until the improvements will be much faster. Keep much of that as has been given for the better conditions for the body. Ready for questions.
3. (Q) The body is to be taken to the country in a short while, where they will not be able to have the osteopathic treatments. Will it be alright to continue the electrical treatments every day and perhaps exercise him a little ourselves?
   (A) This would be very good. Use the vibrator - electrical driven vibrator - just before the body retires. This will assist in bringing the body to better conditions for normal sleep and rest. (Of course keep up the electrical treatments as has been outlined.) The condition that produces this tendency to not sleep is caused from that of incoordination also, or the warring - as it were - between the sympathetic and cerebro-spinal nerve system; so that impressions as come to the body through that of that taken as food, comes as hallucinations - and is not governed in a nominal manner. Hence the body cries out of a sudden, for every element then reacts to the system. This will be gradually overcome as conditions are brought to where there is coordination between cerebro-spinal, sympathetic and sensory nerve system, and the whole coordinating of the body. This, as we see, is gradually on the improve. While portions of the system show that there is nerve tension, or nerve so impinged as to prevent the full movement or activity of the body, but - as the conditions are gradually builded, and the nerve impulses force their way through the system - these will be gradually overcome.
4. (Q) Which should be used on the vibrator, the hard or the soft applicator?
   (A) The sponge, along the cerebro-spinal system - see?
5. (Q) What causes the peculiar cramps, twitches, pulls or drawing of muscles of his face and neck?
   (A) Incoordination, and the muscular contraction as is produced. This is that improper reaction of the central nerve centers. Hence the inability to bring coordination of head, face and hands, with the activity of the body.
6. (Q) What can be done for these?
   (A) Just as has been outlined.
7. (Q) Shall we exercise him any, other than using the vibrator?
   (A) Well for the body to be exercised. Not OVER exercised, but SOME - to keep coordination, or get locomotion as a portion of the whole system's action.
8. (Q) Is the body better?
   (A) As given, better.
9. (Q) Will the body walk or talk soon?
   (A) Depends upon the conditions and reactions in the system. As we have given, we will find that these WILL gradually build. Be the second cycle before there should be sufficient coordination for a quick or a fast recuperation; yet these may be gradually builded in system. We would say it would talk and walk - were the conditions followed out or kept in the system as has been outlined, and as WILL be outlined from time to time as changes come about.
10. (Q) What can be done for the right knee - it is so stiff.
    (A) That is as of one of those centers that must be loosened by the treatments as are to be - and as are BEING accorded the system, see? These are from the osteopathic manipulation, if they are properly given. Some have been - some have not. Patience must be taken. Consistence must be kept.
11. (Q) Any other suggestions for the improvement or welfare of this body?
    (A) Follow those as have been given.
    Keep at it. We are through for the present.

2. 6/14/28 Mother [629]'s letter: "Enclosed you will find check for the rdg. for [4613] and also the rdg. for [4611]. She is getting along very nicely now. I want to thank you for the promptness of the rdgs. It means so much to us. [4613] is off to the country and I have an electrician who is looking after the entire apparatus also the vibrator. We have no electricity in the country house so he is looking after the batteries so that we will be able to use the vibrator on [4613] as per your instructions. Yes we are trying to follow your instructions to the letter of the law and I hope and pray that by the end of the summer we will be able to see a real improvement in him. Mr. Cayce [4613] is an adorable child and I feel that some day he bring joy to our hearts. With wishes that the supreme powers may lead us properly..."
3. 6/21/28 EC's letter to Mother: "Have yours of the 14th, with enclosure, for which we thank you.
   "Certainly very glad to know that [4611] is getting along nicely. Hope she continues to improve until she is entirely well and her normal self.
   "Certainly very glad that you were able to have an electrician arrange so that [4613] can have his treatments while away.
   "We have started to work on the building, and as soon as we are in shape I'm going to expect you and [4613] down to see us. I can't help but believe that, where we can check up on these every few days, and see that the suggestions are carried out just exactly as given, we will have results. We will be bound to! Of course I'm overjoyed at the actual operations being in progress. Certainly am in hopes that our work will continue to give such fruits that those of our friends will be as enthusiastic about what we are trying to do as we are.
   "Again thanking you, and with kindest regards to all..."
4. 6/25/28 MHB's letter re. a collection of EC rdgs. on reincarnation and karma: "I understand a baby [4613] born to that party in Penna., who I believe is employed by ... in a rdg. on that baby, I understand, it gave that the cause of the infant being born in a mute condition was due to the fact that a low-developed entity was contacted by this couple [[554] and [629]] due to their not desiring and not wanting the baby at the time of conception. I should like to have this quotation included with the date that the reading was taken." [GD's note: He must have gotten this impression from a discussion with someone who knew the parents, perhaps DEK.]
5. 10/24/28 See 4613-5.
