1. GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, giving the cause of the existing conditions and also the treatment for the cure and relief of this body.

2. EC: Now, we find there are some abnormal conditions in this body. Though the body in many respects is very good, yet there are those conditions in the system that cause distress to portions of the body in the functioning of organs in the system, and in the depression as is created by same through reflex conditions in the nerve system.

3. Now these are conditions in the body as we find them. First:

4. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, this we find is surcharged with poisons and dross that should be eliminated through other portions of the system. While the division in the constituents and elements of blood is well divided, the effect as created in circulation gives in the system at times distresses; as we find this comes at various times and under the strain, and apparently comes from the nerve repressions, yet the blood supply itself shows there are these distressed conditions in the circulation, while the condition from nerve centers acts with the circulation, producing irritation in various portions of the system. The conditions produced are separate, yet coordinate at intervals.

5. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, we find there is in the second and first lumbar impingements of a nature that cause distress through the functioning of the system in the pelvis region. Hence the condition as arises in system at times (not always) in the menstrual periods. In this we find the inactivity in the eliminations produces through these organs that affecting directly the circulation or the eliminations in the body. Hence the distress as is produced at such times in the side. This then affects directly the whole system through the nerve reflexes and the action then to the organs of assimilation and of the eliminations become the effect of the reflex forces. In the sympathetic system does this show its reaction, as we have to the organs of the sensory system at times.

6. IN THE FUNCTIONING OF THE ORGANS THEMSELVES, we find brain forces very good.

7. Throat, lungs, larynx, bronchials, normally very good. Some congestion in the nasal cavity and produces in the bronchials and in the tonsil region at present some distress. A local condition, needing the correction of nerve supply to prevent the body from being subject to these sudden changes and conditions through the reflex forces, and the body has recently had some distress with the hypogastric center and the pneumogastric, and a touch of gas formation in stomach. These are reflexes and not conditions to be distressed about, for with correction of the conditions we will find the body will be brought to the normal forces.

8. The rest of the system we find functioning under the strain at times. Again near normal in their functioning, making or producing, with the condition in blood supply, the natural tendency, or the condition as produced in intestinal tract, or intestinal indigestion, subject to blood supply or lack of blood flow in its normal channel and in a normal healthy condition.

9. Through the organs of the trunk portion, and through the lower digestion, these will be corrected when the properties are taken in system to correct the system, and the impingements in the dorsal and lumbar, especially, are corrected.

10. We will find with these corrections the body will be brought to the normal forces.

11. Taking then this in the system first to prepare the body, that when the adjustments are made in the body, osteopathically or chiropractically, that the response in body may be better than trying to produce the correction first through correcting impingements.

12. Correcting impingements AFTER medicinal properties are taken. Will not be as necessary to take as many adjustments, and the response will be better and quicker.

13. Taking this:

Fluid Extract of Wild Cherry…1/2 ounce, Fluid Extract of Stillingia…1/2 ounce, Fluid Extract of Poke Root…1/2 ounce, Fluid Extract of Burdock Root…1/2 ounce, Fluid Extract of Yellow Dock Root…1/2 ounce, Iodide of Potassium…3 drams. Sufficient simple syrup to make 8 ounces.

Shake solution well together.

14. The dose would be 1/2 teaspoonful 4 times each day. Let one of the doses come just at retiring, the others before meals.

15. When all the quantity is taken, take the adjustments.

16. We will bring the body to its normal condition and forces.

Reports & Follow-up

R1. 10/20/24 Miss [4697]‘s letter: “I am sending a check of $5. I have nearly finished taking the medicine. I am feeling a good bit better I think. Should I take another bottle of this medicine before beginning the adjustments?”

R2. 10/23/24 EC’s ltr. to [4697]:

P.O. Box 463, Dayton, Ohio

Miss [4697] …, Ala.

My dear Miss [4697]:

Have yours of the 20th, with enclosed check, and I thank you very much for this contribution to the work that I am trying to do.

I’m certainly very glad to know that you’re feeling a good deal better. I have gone over the reading as was given and my understanding from this would be that when you have finished with the first quantity of medicinal properties you should begin taking the osteopathic adjustments. After you have taken these for ten to fifteen days, why we shall be very glad to go over the case again and see if the corrections have been made properly.

Thanking you, I am

Very sincerely, Edgar Cayce EC:GD
