TEXT

  1. GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find at the present time; giving the cause of the existing conditions; also the treatment for the cure and relief of this body.
  2. EC: We have the body here.
  3. Now, while there are many conditions that are very good, yet there are those that - left and allowed to continue to bring minor distresses - would prove detrimental to the better functioning of the physical forces of the body. These have to do, especially, with those drosses as have been allowed to accumulate in the system, and the functioning organs attempting to care for or eliminate same - and the vital forces attempting to create that bridge, or that passage about same - oftentimes produces pressures in portions of the body - extremities, as well as portions of the torso find distraughtness from these pressures. Hence the continual reaction from these conditions would bring distresses hard to be dealt with in the physical forces of the body. Hence that tendency towards that of the neurotic, or of the rheumatic, and apparently a combination of the two. This, as we see, produced from the attempt of system to adjust itself, as well as other functioning organs attempting to eliminate. Hence, when we find drosses moved against the eliminating channels or centers, we find resultant effects toward the eliminating centers in the form of the distress brought to muscular centers. Especially these occur through channels and through reactory centers of the mesenteric system. When the system attempting to bridge or to span such conditions, we find more of the muscular contraction as of cold, congestion, easy for the excretory system to become involved - yet the body never OVERLY sick, yet not feeling well, nor able to meet the better reactions in the system.
  4. THE BLOOD SUPPLY, from same, shows the effect of the pressure as is produced at times. Hence the alternations in the blood pressure, as well as the quickened and the slow pulsation - though no organic disturbance of the heart, though the effect at times is smothery to the diaphragm region. This comes from pressure created in mesenteric centers.
  5. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, with those reflexes to the attempt of the impulses to various portions of the system, that condition results when the body either has the effect of as one drugged, or as the inability to keep in the normal sweet sleep, or restful sleep. These conditions produced, as we see, from radiation of central nerve system to the various portions of impulse as is carried from the central nerve system. Sympathetic system becoming either OVERTAXED, or lax in its reaction to such. Hence the variation in the condition.
  6. THE FUNCTIONING ORGANS OF THE BODY, find the VARYING resultant conditions from the varying effects as produced.
  7. Then, to meet the needs of these conditions is to set up the eliminations in such a way and manner as we do not overtax either ONE of the eliminating centers or systems to or at the expense of the other; for, as seen, the tendency toward that condition existent in the kidneys and the lower hepatic circulation - these becoming easily involved by producing too much taxation, or too lax in the amount of the uric acids, the uric system of elimination. These would be as detrimental as to produce an overtaxing or a too lax condition in the eliminating through that of the respiratory system, or of the liver through the regular channels of the mesenteric system - for becoming centralized would produce inflammation to the extent as to bring about centralization of such inflammation, or the walling off by the system of such inflammation in such a way and manner as to produce tuberous growths, or nature's eliminating system becoming choked.
  8. Then, to meet the needs at the present time, we would prepare as this - and keep the system in that way of carrying as much water as possible - let THIS be the drainage especially through the lower portion of hepatic or kidney circulation - but prepare as this:
  9. To one-half (1/2) gallon of distilled water, add six (6) ounces Wild Cherry Bark. Reduce by simmering (not boiling) to one-half (1/2) the quantity. Strain. Then add four (4) ounces of cane sugar, dissolved in two (2) ounces of hot water, again reducing to the original quantity by simmering. Then add:

      Compound Syrup of Sarsaparilla...........1 ounce,
      Calisaya, Elixir of....................1/2 ounce,
      Syrup of Peruvian Bark.................1/4 ounce,
      Podophyllum (dried)......................3 grains,

      Elixir or Tincture of Buchu Leaves.....1/4 ounce,
      Tincture of Elder Flower, or
      Fluid Extract..........................1/2 ounce,
      Syrup of Squill........................1/4 ounce,
      Pure Grain Alcohol.......................1 ounce, with
      one-half (1/2) dram Balsam of Tolu cut in it,
      Tincture Capsici.........................3 minims.

  10. Shake the dose well together before taking. Let the dose be teaspoonful four (4) times each day.
  11. At least every third (3rd) day evacuate the whole of the colon with high enemas, that the system may be cleansed entirely of drosses and of the fumes of fecal matter being eliminated through these channels.
  12. Use the electrical driven vibrator for the vibration along the whole of the cerebro-spinal system. This is best taken just before retiring each evening. This will bring better radiation and better incentive activity from each nerve center toward both the rebuilding, replenishing, and the eliminating and digestive system.
  13. Cleansing the system in such a manner will prepare the body for the full correction of any troublesome conditions that arise in the body for many, many years. Do this at present. When these are completed - these properties as given - we would give further instructions for the body, Miss [4852].
  14. We are through for the present.

    REMARKS
    (You will please state in the space below how near, in your opinion, reading fits your condition, as you know it yourself, and if you expect to carry out the suggestions made for the improvement of your health.)
    "The reading was fine, described my symptoms, as I feel them, perfectly. I expect to carry out suggestions made."
    [GD's note: It is my impression from conversation with Miss [4852]'s friend, Mrs. [2457], that she did not follow the treatment in the reading - perhaps was discouraged from doing it by her physician and members of her family.]
  2. 7/21/28 Mrs. [2457]'s letter: "[4852] is down and out - was in the Vaughan Hospital a while and now out in the country with her sister."
  3. 7/26/28 EC's letter: "Sorry Miss [4852] is having trouble. If she could get what was given her (and most of it would be per 'sweat'), she would get along a whole lot better."
  4. 7/29/28 Mrs. [2457]'s letter: "[4852] is in Montgomery to see a doctor there. Dr. DuBose wanted to operate on her feet for rheumatism - of all the nerve - he did not, though."
  5. 8/01/28 EC's letter: "Certainly sorry to know that Miss [4852] is having so much trouble. Can't help but feel that if she would follow out the suggestions given that she would get rid of a lot of that trouble."
  6. 8/20/28 EC's letter in reply to Mrs. [2457] who stated that Miss [4852] was in a hospital in Montgomery and was soon moving to her sister's: "Sorry to know that Miss [4852] is having so much trouble. I wish it was so she could come up here and the place [Cayce Hospital] was open. We would soon get rid of that trouble. It's easy to see from the reading and from what she said about it, just what's the trouble, and I believe the proper application of that suggested would get rid of it."
  7. 9/15/28 Mrs. [2457]'s letter: "Poor [4852] is about on her last bed. Is delirious all the time. Is in the Baptist Hospital - a nervous wreck - not a rational thought. [310] said it was too pitiful to see her - just wasting away. Her sister is with her constantly."
  8. 9/30/28 Mrs. [2457]'s letter: "[4852] is better - knees still giving her quite a bit of trouble."
  9. 1/25/30 Mrs. [2457]'s letter: "[4852]'s knees are in plaster cast. I have not been to see her."
  10. 5/20/31 Mrs. [2457]'s letter: "[4852] looks splendid but gets around poorly - uses two stout walking sticks."
  11. 1/27/32 Mrs. [2457]'s letter: "I wrote you of [4852]'s death on New Year's day."
