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: Yes, we have the body here.
3. Now, we find there are disturbing conditions in the physical functioning of the body, of which the body should be warned, for such conditions produce, when not attended to or corrected, that as is seen, when such conditions centralize or localize, as growths internally or such disturbances to portions of the functioning organs, through pressure or adhesions, or by accumulations and inflammation, those conditions that become of a malignant nature. These conditions, however, taken in time, the correct corrections made in system, will bring about normal conditions for the body.
4. These, then, are conditions as we find them in the body at the present time. First:
5. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, in this we find there are those conditions existent which would typify the disturbance in the digestive system, by the amount of the increased number of leukocyte carried, by the amount of change in the circulation from time to time - that is, the pressure as is created, the numbers of white and red blood, the condition of the hemoglobin in the blood - for with the various changes these show the various changes in the elements of the circulation.
6. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, in this we find there are centers that are disturbed to the point that these of the central portion of the body show that not only directly, but the retraction from the centers so subluxated, and from the conditions as are produced in the functioning organs - others both internal and external, or those of the primary and of the secondary nature are involved in the condition. Hence the high state of the nervous system at times, the depressions as come to the system, the nervous condition in digestion, the nervous headaches, and the sensory system in its entirety involved. Hence we see that which may be termed by some a condition in a body of reaching hysteria at periods, or UNREASONABLENESS in the expressions of the individual at times. These depressions in the nerve system, and the subluxations in the nerve system, of course are of different states - subluxations being in the 6th, 7th and 8th dorsal, and also in the lower lumbar. Hence the disturbance as is seen in the right portion of body, and of the circulatory system, as is affected by this condition through the hypogastric and pneumogastric plexus. The hepatic circulation, liver and kidneys, involved, as is also spleen, and the glands as secrete or draw from assimilation the supply of rebuilding forces in the body.
7. IN THE FUNCTIONING OF THE ORGANS THEMSELVES, we find the distresses as are created in the digestive system, in the intestinal tract, the location and the nerve reaction in system - many portions of the organs become involved, or are easily involved in the condition, though none are serious at the present time, save that, as we would give, in the hepatic circulation, or the undue balance between the liver and the kidneys needs the first corrections, see?
8. Then, to meet the needs of the condition of the entity at the present time, we would do this for this body:
9. First we would have osteopathically those conditions in the cerebro-spinal system corrected, see? This would take from twelve to thirteen (12 to 13) such adjustments and general manipulations, taken every other day until these corrections are normal.
10. During this period - that is, that this is being taken, see? we would take in the system those properties as are found in a preparation of this nature:
11. First we would take one-half (1/2) gallon of rain or distilled water, and to this add six (6) ounces of plain Garden Sage, dried. Reduce this by simmering (not boiling) to one (1) PINT, see? Strain while it is warm and then add Gordon Gin one-half (1/2) pint, four (4) ounces of sugar first dissolved in two (2) ounces of hot water, fifteen (15) grains of Ambergris dissolved in one (1) ounce of pure grain alcohol,

    Senna................3 grains,
Oil of Sassafras.....5 minims,
Cinnamon.............2 drams, preferably in the stick,

    and this should remain in the solution.
12. Shake solution well together before each dose is taken, see? The dose would be teaspoonful four (4) times each day, before meals and before retiring.
13. This we find will stimulate the system, stimulate the digestion, stimulate those portions of the system as is necessary to produce the proper elimination in body and, with the corrections, overcome this intestinal trouble, increasing the liver activity, bringing a normal force through counterirritation to the kidneys.
14. Do this. We will find the body near to the normal forces.
15. We are through for the present.

BACKGROUND

1. 11/22/26 A. C. Preston's letter: "Mrs. [4680] of ..., Fla. would like for you to take a reading on her health and general condition. She has had some intestinal trouble and it is of this that she is most worried." [EC made the appointment and Mrs. [4680] verified it by wire.]

REPORTS

1. 11/30/26 EC's ltr. to [4680]:
   Mrs. [4680] ..., Florida
   Dear Mrs. [4680]
   We enclose you, herewith, copy of the reading as was gotten. We are certainly in hopes that you will follow out the suggestions, for I am sure you will realize that these will not be worth anything unless they are carried out very specifically. I don't know whether you will have any trouble in getting your prescription prepared or not, but I am in hopes you will not. The Ambergris, I am sure, can be obtained either from The Colgate Company, New York, or Lehn & Fink. We shall appreciate you letting us hear from you regarding this, for it is our desire to be of help if it is possible.
   Sincerely, Edgar Cayce EC:GD
