There are some conditions as yet do not show that the
condition has been equalized sufficient for eliminations
to be carried properly and normally in the system. Such
conditions we find, especially, in the lower end of the
intestinal tract, which at times, with the properties taken
in, gives distress across the lower portion of the abdomen
and below the diaphragm. This we find is the assimilation
calling on the body, as it were, to react to the properties
as taken in the body. In portions of the body where
congestion in the ligament portion of the system has caused
the tissue and cell force to produce the abrasions, and where
these cells have not, on account of the condition of the
system, been able to produce coagulation in these portions
of the body, this shows a better condition, but there are
conditions, under the present treatments (for it all has
not been taken), that need to be accorded the system, that
these may be absorbed and eliminated and produce perfect
coagulation, perfect incentive for producing the coagulation,
perfect incentives to produce elimination and the
assimilation, that eliminations may be proper. These also
will produce a change in the capillary circulation, so that
the emunctories and the lymphatics will give sufficient in
the body to supply the needs in the white blood and leucocyte
and give the healing forces in the broken tissue and in
portions of the functioning organs that need the stimulation.
Keep then the properties in the system, as we have given.
Keep the diet in that way and manner that will produce at all
times the easy digestion. Not too much of fuels or carbons,
or carbohydrates but more of the protein and vegetable forces
that give the tissue in the white blood and lymphatic forces.
For the abrasions, prepare as this:
Take six ounces of green plantain root and the stem (not
leaves), the stem that carries the seed. Stew or steep this
in eight ounces of rain water until it is reduced to a very
low state, or until about two ounces remain. Strain this off
and add to it two ounces of the oil of butterfat; that is,
the oil from butter, from which the milk and water has been
taken by heat. This will produce a salve or balm. Apply
this to the outer portions, you see. Not over the whole
portion, until this is healed and removed from the system.
Take the manipulations, as given. Not as would be accorded
a normal body. But as that necessary for the existing
conditions, that where impinionments by inactivity in the
cartilaginous forces in the spine may relieve and release the
blood supply, the nerve tissue and the muscular forces, and
above all keep the mental and the soul forces in accord with
the desired help needed in the system.
Do that. [

(Q) How long has this body been afflicted?
(A) Been some years. The change has been affected. As
to the present conditions, we find about three. As to the
conditions that brought these, some three to four more.
(Q) Where are the abrasions located on this body?
(A) In the lower lumbar regions, as given in the first,
where we had the system attempting to remove congestion
from the glands and tissue in the false pelvis, these
coming across to the fourth lumbar and the first sacral.
(Q) About how long will it take to bring the better forces
to this body?
(A) Depending entirely upon the mental attitude of the body
to the self and to the applications as accorded. We should
say three to nine months.
(Q) Should the body exercise much, or not?
(A) As much as the physical will allow; that is, after
abrasions are removed, for the muscular forces must be
brought back to their elasticity, if we will receive and
bring the normal forces for the body.
We are through for the present.

REPORTS
8/04/24 Letter: "...I am out of the medicine you prescribed
in my first reading and the way I have been feeling it might
be well to give me another reading as soon as possible to see
whether I should keep on with the same medicine or whether I
might need a change. Hoping to hear from you soon, or see
you, as we have been looking for you back in Columbus. There
are a number of people ready to have readings when you come
back to Columbus..."
8/12/24 EC's letter: "...I have yours of the 4th but have
been expecting to be in Columbus most any day. Hence the
delay in answering. Perhaps it will be best to have this
reading when I come over. You might 'phone Mr. Mohr and
perhaps he can tell you just when I will be there, and if you
feel that it is necessary that it be done at once perhaps you
had better 'phone or wire me and will try and attend to it
right away if we are delayed.
"Trusting this finds you feeling a great deal better, I am
sincerely..."
GD's note: In
4988-1 chiropractic adjustments were
recommended. This was perhaps due to the fact that Dr. J. H.
Farrand, a chiropractor, was practicing in Columbus and he
was familiar with the Edgar Cayce work.
There is no further record in Mr. [
4988]'s folder except the
notation "DECEASED". There are no details as to how long he
lived following the last reading.
