Time and Place: 4:30 P. M. ..., Ohio.

TEXT

LBC: You have before you, Mrs. [5529], of ..., Ohio. Go over her carefully, examine her thoroughly, and tell us what is the matter with her, if anything.
EC: She is a neurasthenic. It affects her in a very peculiar way, especially to the expression or impression it makes through the sensory system, or the sensory organism in the system of the body. It affects her through the mental - a great deal of mental worry - and action on to the thought and expressions of thought themselves, and from the condition of the liver in itself, in its power of eliminating the used forces. The secretions are very good; the excretions not so good. Of course, it affects it through the same forces, through that of the nervous force, through the opposite pole of the kidneys. We have a lack of red blood, - hemoglobin - in the blood. More of the white, as shown from the color of the skin, the exterior portions, as in anemic patients, we have this only showing itself, in the expression through that of the lymphatic circulation, expression and suppression through the force of capillary circulation in the body. Pains to the head at times, through the forces, or lack of the force to eliminate through that of the power of the splenic force, on action to the brain proper. There is a general debility. Sick all over. Sometime through the liver, and other times through the stomach, and again suffering with the small of the back and spine. Again through the extremities and lower limbs become heavy. The tissue of the matter in itself that is, through the sympathetic circulation, or that of the hepatics (the lymphatic circulation through the hepatics) produce or carry more of the water fluid in the blood, at times becoming of a watery nature, showing itself through that of the circulation, forming splotches over the body, especially on the extremities here.
The power or impressions to itself, through the sensory system, has become weak, dilapidated, through that of a nervous shock here, at sometime before, sometime back, which has produced and brought about most of the condition we have in the system.
(Q) Any other troubles you see?
(A) We have a good many different sort of troubles through the body, coming at different times through the system, and more of this humor or inflammation carried through it.
(Q) What treatment would you prescribe to relieve this condition?
(A) Need more treatment to self than we need anything else.
(Q) You mean self-control?
(A) Now we have in the body, as we have here of Mrs. [5529] an organism to the physical, mental and abnormal self or those through the circulation, muscular and nervous force in the body. The brain in the head is the seat of all the motion we have through the normal conscious self. The rack of the sensory system, or as we have had this shock to this body, through the nervous force, it shows itself through the whole system in the ends or points where it picks up to carry impressions through that of the force in the power of matter in itself. The circulation, as it lies interlateral with the nerve and muscular force in the system, picks up, or uses more of the force, as we have through the white blood in the system, to supply to the cellular force to rebuild the nerve force to any organs in the body, through passing through the walls or form of absorption, instead of the regular channels in the tissue, as we have through that of building muscles or the frame in the body.
In the taking up or expression of these forces, we have in the neurasthenic, which is a form of nervous disease, or trouble over the system, forming itself into channels and distributing themselves through the different parts of the body at different times, producing this form of anemia, through that of the blood, or lack of red blood to replenish to the forces or power or elimination of the forces as we show through the liver, which is the eliminating power or force in the body.
In the expression of these forces, through this (that is, through the nervous condition) we bring about, or produce the troubles we have in this body, here, now. A lack of self-control through that of the sensory system, or power over self to gain self-control, brings about, or forces on the body, most of the ailments we have in the self, or the power of self-control.
To improve or eliminate these properties, of course, we have to treat both through the sensory system or gain control over self, and through the nervous system, or build to the nervous system so we can gain control over self, or through the form or electrical forces applied to the body to act directly through the electrical forces which is the nerve in the body. The same action as we have in these forces, applied to rebuild the properties, until we can gain control over self. We apply here from the 9th dorsal, which is at the solar plexus, a low form or that which we have in electroid or electropoise. The action of these forces to these conditions, brings about a low form of vibrating or taking up of the ends of matter or forces - nerve end - until as it were, we soothe the body to sleep. After sleep put it to the ankle and let it stay there until we wake up.
We will suppress this form of catarrhal condition through the intestines. The same condition, you see.
Keep at all times into the system, as much water as can drink. Bathe the body as often as twice a day. One time hot and one time tepid water. That is, get away from the pores or bring out more to the extremities the portions of used forces to eliminate through these properties, as well as that of the dross and kidneys and pulmonaries.
Take no medicine into the stomach except that through the form of mild action on to the liver in itself. Not through that of excitement to the mucus coating of the stomach or intestines.
It will be slow but the body will be improved if she will hold power over herself, or will have to give it to someone else to hold it through that of subconscious control.

I am enclosing you an application to become a member of our Association, should you desire to enroll with same. I am sure, if you are interested in the phenomena of life, especially that phase of psychic phenomena as pertains to the health or suggestions for health, you will find the findings of this Association interesting, and we shall be glad to send you the data as it is published from time to time.

Encl. of application card for membership.
6/05/26 Letter: "...I received your letter. I am getting along very nicely but my health is poor, but I see a change in it for the better. I received the application for membership but I don't think I will become a member because it means work and I don't understand it well enough. I did not miss a reading for first four months..."
6/08/26 EC's letter to Mrs. [5529]:
My dear Mrs. [5529],
Replying to yours of the 5th, I have to confess I don't quite understand. The membership to the Association does not incur any work whatever on the part of the member - merely that the member may have the advantage of receiving all of the data as is compiled by the study of the phenomena that is being investigated by the Association. If you are still in very poor health, we shall be very glad to try and be of help if possible. Of course, you know more about that than we do, but we shall be very glad to hear from you if you feel that we can be of service.
Sincerely, Edgar Cayce EC:GD

6/17/26 Letter: "...I received your letter - was glad to hear from you, as I read the little book and it pictures some mysterious things that have happened in my home and I can't understand them - the disappearance of things. I want your help and I am willing to do what I can, as I am a very poor reader. I am sending you one dollar for the little book that was sent to me, as I am not able to earn much money - what little I have is given to me..."
6/21/26 Letter from EC to [5529]:
My dear Mrs. [5529]:
I am in receipt of yours of the 17th, and we are pleased to have you a member of the Association, and I'm certainly in hopes that the data as we hope to furnish from same will prove interesting, helpful and beneficial.
We shall certainly be very glad to help you in any way that it is possible. I do not understand, of course, the nature of the mysterious things you speak of, but if it is possible for us to assist in any way in your gaining a better understanding of them, or as to how you may apply the lessons that may be gained from same, I assure we shall be very glad to do so. Possibly the Life Reading is the things that would help you better understand yourself. You will see from the little pamphlet the character of information that is obtained in one, and the information necessary for us to have to obtain same. We should be very glad to make appointment for this, if you so desire. We want to thank you also for your contribution and the spirit that prompted you to do same, for we depend upon the goodness of those interested for the propagation of the work. Trusting we may hear from you from time to time, I am

12/20/26 Letter: "...I thought I would write you again as my yearly reading [membership] has almost expired. I am feeling some better but I still have my sick spells. Now, are you going to send me another reading? Or, whatever you think it is best for me to do? Things in the home circle are some better, so you can write and tell me what is best for me to do..."
12/31/26 Letter from EC to [5529]:
Dear Mrs. [5529]
Replying to yours of the 20th, we can make an appointment for you for the morning of January 27th. I believe it would be well for you to prepare a list of questions regarding your condition, and possibly in this manner we will be able to get just what you want, and in a way that you will be able to apply it all the better.
Please let us know if this is satisfactory, and furnish us with the list of questions.
Hoping that we may be of service, I am
