Time of Reading Cayce Hospital, 9:00 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. Virginia Beach, Va. (Physical Suggestion)

  1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [161]. This we have had before. In some respects conditions are apparently not as good as when we have had same before. This, however, as we find, is more of retraction in the physical forces of the body, rather than of destructive forces, provided conditions are cared for THROUGH the changes as are coming about in the physical forces of the body. With the exercising of the forces as are being builded in the system, especially as through the nerve forces of the body and their reactions as come with the activity of impulse in the system, there comes those activities as make for a high temperature in the body, produced by the inflammations as are increased that must be eliminated. This, as seen, is being attempted to be created in the system by the over activity of the alimentary canal, especially through the glands of the system, and to the vegetative system.

  2. Then, we would relax the body in the general way and manner, as through manipulations.

  3. We would reduce those temperatures by the KEEPING of the alimentary canal active, but under CONTROL - through the usages of those properties as will cleanse the system without raising the temperature. Necessary, to be sure, to bathe the body along the cerebro-spinal system, especially, with those of water, followed by that of the alcohol to reduce same.

  4. These, as we find, will be kept in a nearer normal condition by such applications. Ready for questions.

  5. We are through with this reading.
