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 relief and cure of this body.
2. EC: Now, we find the abnormal conditions in this body have to do with conditions that have been of long standing, and the seat or beginning of the troubles was of the nature that, with the development of abnormal forces, has brought about constitutional conditions and some conditions that have to be reckoned with before the seat or cause of troubles may be corrected, that the body may be brought to normal conditions.
3. Now, we give those conditions through which the troubles are produced and how to begin with those affections that the body may be brought to normal conditions, though will be found necessary to change the conditions and vibrations for body as conditions develop in the system, [4793] we are speaking of.
4. Now these are conditions as we find them at present:
5. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, this we find shows both the effects of the condition producing the condition, or causes, and the effect as these conditions have had on the functioning of the organs under this strain and under the change as produced in the body.
6. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, we find in cerebro-spinal nerve forces specific conditions, yet not altogether cause or seat of the troubles to be met at present time; yet much of the trouble may be assisted towards correction by the correction of the subluxed nerve centers.
7. In the sensory and sympathetic system we find the body under the strain, or being the taxing force of the body at the present time.
8. We find, in the functioning of the organs, there are many of these that have so become imbued with the conditions as are left, or carried, and in some conditions we find both conditions existent in the system, until organic conditions have arisen in a form and manner, but these may be corrected by the correct vibrations being accorded system and gradually bring those conditions necessary for the body to be brought to normal conditions.
9. Then, to bring these, we would first give this for the system:
10. To one gallon of rain water, add:

    Sarsaparilla Bark.................2 ounces,
Wild Cherry Bark..................2 ounces,
Yellow Dock Root..................2 ounces,
Black Snake Root..................2 ounces,
Sassafras Root....................2 ounces,
Mandrake Root....................30 grains,
Buchu Leaves.....................15 grains.

    Reduce by simmering (not boiled) to one quart. Strain while warm and add 4 ounces grain alcohol, with 2 drams Buchu Leaves (Juice. See, these prepared in the second form) added with 2 drams Balsam of Tolu and one dram Balm of Gilead.
11. The dose would be teaspoonful four times each day. For those pains that come in the body, where there is the loss of the use by swelling, or by the contraction in muscular forces, rub with saturated solution of Bicarbonate of Soda, leaving the refuse on the body and then applying hot packs of salt to these parts for fifteen to twenty minutes. When necessary use these. When the quantity has been taken, then we would give that necessary for further conditions for this body, [4793].
12. We are through for the present.

REPORTS

1. 2/12/25 EC's letter to [4793]'s husband:
   Dear Mr. [...]
   Enclosed, herewith, you will find a copy of the reading as gotten this afternoon for Mrs. [4793]. You will see, among the suggestions, that it will be necessary after she has taken the first quantity of medicine for her to have another reading to outline what should be done for the body at that time.
   From the experience of others, and from what you perhaps already know of the work, and will see by the reading at hand, it would be very wise I think for you to follow out these suggestions given here.
   Should certainly be very glad to hear from you from time to time, as I desire very much to be of service if it's possible to do so.
   You will please fill out the enclosed form and return as early as possible, and also let me know when you are ready for the other reading.
   Hoping to have been of service, and thanking you for your contribution, I am
   Yours very truly, Edgar Cayce EC:GD

   My dear Mrs. [4793]
   We are glad to acknowledge receipt of your report as regarding your condition, and we thank you for same.
   In view of the fact that the Association of National Investigators are attempting definite information regarding the readings given by Mr. Cayce, and inasmuch as you say you have followed the directions as given him without results, we would like to ask you a few questions regarding same, that we may have definite information for our records.
   From the information as was obtained in your reading of February 12, 1925, would you deem it advisable to ask for further information regarding your condition? Would you please state to us your physical condition as you see it yourself and as to how near the information as applied by Mr. Cayce fitted the conditions? Would you also please state to us just in what manner and way you carried out the instructions and directions as given by him?
   Thanking you, and trusting that you will cooperate with us in trying to obtain data on this phenomena, we are
