TEXT

1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with suggestions for the further improvement of same, and you will answer the questions which I will ask you regarding same.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here. This we have had before. (This country [is] also in devasted [devastated] territory, and damage was done about the place, we see.)
3. Now, as to the physical conditions of this body, these we find are greatly improved from that as we have had here before. The corrections in the cerebro-spinal system have been made to a great extent. These muscles and tissue about those centers where corrections have been made need stimulation through manipulation, and also occasionally these should be replaced to their normal position, that the incentives from the nerve centers as radiate from these may be brought to the normal condition.
4. Those properties as were to be given in the system to correct the digestion, and to stimulate the nerve forces in coming to their normal force, that the development of the entity might be normal, still need to be added. The Maypop or Passion Flower tea should be made from the ripe fruit from same - that may be gathered at this period of the year. The water or tea from same should be made in that proportion of six (6) ounces to twenty (20) ounces of water, and reduced if made in tea, see? This is an active principle for the liver and for the intestinal system.
5. The Mayapple tea, or from same - that is, from the Mayapple as is prepared by Daniels - this should be taken for the nerve system. This, as we see, is prepared from herb and from the fruit. These added to the system, with the continuation of the properties as are needed through the diet - which should be followed along those lines much as has been outlined for the body by those as have been applying the vibrations - that is, those of the digestion that are easy for digestion, see? food values - cereals, fruits - oranges, but not too much raw apples nor bananas. Those of pears, oranges, grapefruit. Cereal - oatmeals. Dry cereal - corn flakes, or Post Toasties, or those of whole wheat or those of Puffed Wheat, Puffed Rice - all of these. Preferably, use beet sugar rather than cane sugar, and the cream should be very good, and especially fresh.
6. The medicinal properties - the tea of the Maypop or Passion Flower, would be taken half a glass twice each day, see? The Mayapple, or that of that herb as for the nerves, would be taken five (5) drops three (3) times each day, see? nine, twelve and three, or preferably make it nine, three and six, see? would be very good, you see.
7. The manipulations and adjustments - these may be made by anyone that gives the manipulation, yet the adjustments should be made occasionally - at least once to twice a month - by those that have made the adjustments for the conditions in the body.
8. Do that. Ready for questions.
9. (Q) Could these treatments be given correctly by Dr. Robinson of Selma, Alabama - chiropractor?
   (A) Preferably these would be given by a masseur, rather than by the adjustments, because it would be improperly given through adjustments made. Manipulation and massage would be better - that of the neuropath would be better than of the chiropractor, though the osteopath the better than either, see? though the neuropath treatment might be given to strengthen, and the osteopath treatments for the correction twice each month.
   Keep up medicinal properties until we have a CLEANSED system. High enemas may be used to cleanse the colon, see? When such are used, use Glyco-Thymoline as an antiseptic. Tablespoonful to gallon of water would not be too much in this case, see? This may be also given in five to ten (5 to 10) drops two to three times as an intestinal antiseptic.
   We will find this body will be brought to the normal, will persistence and consistence be kept with these conditions - be met as the conditions arise, see?
10. (Q) If neuropath treatments are given, how often should these be given?
    (A) Twice to three times each week would be well - three times each week be well - thoroughly given.
11. We are through.

REPORTS

1. 9/21/26 EC's letter to mother of [4678]:
   "I enclose you the reading as was gotten this morning. I certainly am very much in hopes that this helps you to work things out just fine for the little girl.
   "I am sure she must be on the improve, and I feel if you are able to carry out the suggestions fully as are given that she is going to be perfectly normal and alright. I don't know where to tell you to get this Maypop. I'm sure you have been able to get the Mayapple Bitters, but I would get the other too, if you possibly can. Possibly Mr. Moseley at Varnon's would help you out with this - I don't know. I certainly am in hopes it won't be long before we will have a place where everything that is suggested in the readings may be supplied from.
   "You will notice the suggestions are that the neuropath will be better than the chiropractor, but that the osteopath, Dr. Woodall should at least see her twice a month. I know this makes it kind of hard on you, but I know you're willing to do most anything to get the little girl well and strong.
   "We have been very uneasy about a great many of our friends, since hearing about this storm in the South. Hope there wasn't much damage done in that vicinity, though it would seem that you felt the effects of it.
   "Let us hear from you whenever you have the opportunity. We assure you it's our desire to be of help if possible. Mrs. Cayce and I both send our kindest personal regards to you and yours.
2. 10/01/26 Mother referred Mr. [2266] for a Physical Reading.
3. 10/04/26 Mother's letter to EC:
   "Pardon me for not responding earlier, but have been sick.
   "We got the last Reading and already have our little girl under the treatments of a Neuropath. He gives her treatments every other day and we have her on a diet also. She has only had two attacks since commencing with the Neuropath a week ago.
   "When your first reading was received she was having (5) five and (6) six a day and was as thin as she could be. Now she is about normal in weight, a good color and plenty of life and pep. I can scarcely express to you the rapid improvement she has made since first taking her to Dr. Woodall.
   "Thanking you and Mrs. Cayce for the pains you have taken in her case. We believe in the Readings and will do all we can to fully carry out the suggestions made. "We carried her immediately to the Neuropath as we had one in our city, and we wanted her to continue to improve as she was doing under Dr. Woodall.
   "Hope you and your family are well at this time."
4. 12/20/26 Mother's letter:
   "Our little girl is beginning to show signs of great improvement at last. We are giving her treatments three times per week. She is taking the adjustments, manipulations, massages, also electrical treatments. Just as soon as we get in a position so we can, will send you some funds for Hospital. So sorry we are unable to do it now but these treatments have made it hard on us although we've had wonderful results."
5. 6/07/29 Parents referred Mrs. [2357] for a Physical Reading.
6. 7/60 Notes on EPILEPSY cases from the Edgar Cayce records made by Walter N. Pahnke, M.D.
   At A.R.E., Virginia Beach, Virginia
   The following notes were taken on cases as read and are merely the opinion of the abstractor at the time he read the case plus the correspondence. The main value of these notes is that they give some indication of what the exact diagnosis in each case may or may not be.
   Case [4678]. Given in 1926. 9 1/2 year old female. This case was classified in group 1. The patient had had convulsions for three years. A type of convulsion was described in the first reading, which was affected by eating and the kidneys. A description of the pineal cord which runs outside the spinal chord and is connected to the spinal cord at the base of the brain was given in the reading. There was improvement after the first reading and more after the second reading. Instead of 5-6 attacks a day they dropped to only two per week within three months. However, three months after the second reading no more follow-up reports were obtained.
