TEXT

1. GC: You will give in a full and complete manner the physical conditions of this body and that necessary to bring about the best physical conditions for the body.
2. EC: Now, we find there are some changes in the conditions in the body at the present time than that we had here before.
3. Now, these are conditions as we find them in this body, Dr. [5618], we are speaking of. First:
4. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, in this we find below normal in numbers in red blood and white blood, yet with those elements that keep the rebuilding of plasmatic cell throughout the system, and keeping coagulation good, yet its powers of bringing the proper functioning of the organs in the system, to carry their functioning nearer to the normal, to keep the normal conditions, we find are deficient, and hence portions of the system suffer at different times, depending upon that portion needing this extra circulation, as it were, to meet the needs of the body at that particular time.
5. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, this we find is in that state wherein many centers are overtaxed by the system being incapable of making the coordination between cerebro-spinal and sympathetic nerve system. Hence many centers, from lack of stimulation in blood supply, overtaxed by sympathetic forces, find their relaxation when there should be contraction, find their contraction when there should be relaxation. Especially is this true in the functioning of the organs in elimination, for we find, as is shown in the condition in the emunctory and the excretory forces in capillary, these often are relaxed when tautness should be their condition. Again we find them taut when relaxed for the expulsion should be their condition. Hence the body over sympathetic, from conditions as have been accorded the system to relieve taxation and distress in the body, both physical and mental.
6. IN THE FUNCTIONING OF THE ORGANS, all of these we find, under stimulation, coordinate nearer proper. Hence the desires of the body enter into the condition, wherein functioning of system becomes necessary, and the taxation in nerve system becoming such, the body brings about in the functioning of organs a changed condition, through mentality acting over the functioning system. This again is seen in the functioning of the kidneys, in the functioning of the digestion, in the functioning of the brain reasoning forces for self and for others. As then we find, with the depleted condition in system, all portions of the functioning body coming under the taxation of the properties as accorded the system, or as is accorded by the mental activity, or as is accorded by the action of each in the system, co-relating one with another.
7. Then, to bring the better conditions, and to give the best resistance in the system, taking all conditions in the body at present, we would give much of that as we have given here before, yet changed in proportions, and adding to this those stimulus as would be found in this, and in this proportion:
8. To 4 ounces of Peptotol, add:

   Eucalyptol....................4 minims,
Rectified Oil of Turp.........1 minim,
Benzosol......................1 minim,
Elixia Hydrastis............1/4 ounce,
Heroin (dissolved first)...1/60 grain.

9. The dose of this would be 1/2 teaspoonful 3 times each day. This we find will give throughout the whole system the alleviation of distresses, of desires, of the system, in functioning organs, to draw on either the sensory system or the sympathetic system to supply that necessary. Hence the body, through its own will forces, will be better able to meet the resistance in the system. These properties we find give these conditions to the system:
10. The Peptotol the carrier, and that forcing, or giving the system, in the digestive portion of stomach proper, the ability for the gastric juices to assimilate the properties carried in same.
11. Eucalyptol, the active principle to the respiratory system, opening all channels of elimination through the respiratory system, giving the better clarified condition for the lungs and the blood supply, and giving the incentive in blood, thus clarified, to rebuild in system.
12. Rectified Oil of Turp, active principle to the excretory system, especially in liver and in kidneys, that MUST give the proper elimination, would the body be bettered.
13. In that of the Benzosol, again an active principle with the action of respiratory system in stomach proper, giving a clarified effect to the juices as secreted and excreted in pancreas, and clarifying the action of nerve forces through the hypogastric and pneumogastric nerve plexuses of the central portion of system.
14. The Hydrastis, acting again as the sedatory forces for the action of blood cell force destroyed in spleen, as to give the eliminations in the correct channel.
15. The Heroin, that again of a clarifier, in this quantity, to overcome that condition as is produced in the system by the action of the mental forces in its action with the physical, or the action of the mental with the sympathetic and cerebro-spinal centers.
16. Take these quantities only as given, only decreasing or increasing as the condition arises in the system. Should we have over quantity of grease of any character in the system, this will produce nausea. Should we have over quantity of stimulus, as of caffeines of any variety, this will produce over stimulation to the kidneys.
17. Keeping these, then, in the system, as the stimulus, and keeping the body in that manner for the diet as the body understands. Never using pork. Beefs, Chicken, or any of that nature; especially of wild game, good for body. Broths made of same, and whole wheat breads.
18. We will bring the best conditions for this body, Dr. [5618].
19. Medicines taken nine, three and six.
20. Through for the present.

REPORTS

1. 1/23/25 EC wrote the son [1005]: "I am sorry the circumstances are such that it's necessary for you to have a reading of this kind, and that you would have to resort to a necessity of having it done this way, but you know I am only too glad to try and undertake to be of service in any way to you, to your mother, or your father, and I am certainly then in hopes that you will be able to get sufficient from this that will prove of a great deal of help to your father, and of satisfaction to you and your mother.
   "I feel sure, however, that it will be a great deal better for you if you will at least take your mother [760] into your confidence and give her this reading to read, and then you together can talk it over with your father, and it will be a great deal better for everyone concerned."
2. 1/23/25 EC also wrote [760] saying he had mailed the reading to the son [1005] and advising him to discuss it with her.
3. 2/19/26 EC's ltr. to Dr. [5618]:
   Dear Dr. [5618]
   I have yours of the 15th, and I'm sure I should beg your pardon for not having written you in regards the condition that was preventing any actual thing being done towards the matter we had under discussion. I was of the opinion, however, that Mr. [900], my associate, had written you. In fact, I think he told me he did, though I know he has been under such a strain for the last two or three months, he has hardly known whether he was coming or going. His wife's mother [139] came up from New Orleans about the first of December, arrived in New York sick, was operated on about two days or three days before Christmas. Seemingly she improved for a while, then started to going back, and they thought it was necessary for another operation, but she did not recover from that. He left last Sunday for New Orleans with the body. During the time, his wife [136] has been in the hospital also, and it was necessary for an operation for her. They lost their child that would have been born in May or June. You can imagine what he has been through. Of Course, I know it's such circumstances as this that has prevented him from taking any definite stand, or to make any move as to just how we would go about to handle this proposition, or to go about to arrange for the manufacture, distribution of same - but, even did we not start in to establish a factory and a research department for this preparation, there would be nothing, as I can see, that would hinder you from using same at any time or any place that you would see fit to do so, and I'll be very glad to send you some of it and let you start in with anything that you have there, and from the reports you may be able to get from same, would really start the thing to rolling. So, I am sending you, under separate cover, a bottle of the preparation. I think the way that this should be applied (that is, in the office and by the physician), is with small tweezer and wad of cotton, which I am sure you understand better than I can explain to you, and with the added stimulation that you can give with osteopathic treatments, certainly should make it very effective, and I'm sure through same you can easily show the necessity of the investigations of this ind. when we are ready to start the manufacture and distribution.
   Now, I'm in hopes that this suggestion and idea meets with your approval, and that you will understand from the conditions that have existed, just why that you haven't heard before this.
   I'm in hopes that you are feeling real well yourself, and that the rest of the family are well, and that you have something in view or some decisive move that you want to make or take. I tell you, I believe that you would have made a good move to have come to Virginia Beach. I never saw any place where's there is so much activity going on, and being a physician and osteopath both, I believe you could have made a go of things here. There has another young physician though come in here, so now in all we have three, but I'm sure from the outlook there'll be room for a whole lot more.
   I'm glad to say that we are all fairly well here. I haven't been feeling very good, but I believe I'm getting over it and getting in better shape.
   Let me hear from you, and I feel sure you will hear, if you haven't already, from [900].
   With love to all,
   Sincerely, Edgar Cayce EC:GD
