1. FEM: Now, Mr. Cayce, you are asleep, and all of the organs of your body will function properly. You will hear me and answer all of my questions. You have before you the body of [80] and the body is present in this room. You will give me the condition of the kidneys, gall duct, liver, stomach, and nervous forces; and also give me the cause of any abnormal conditions in this body, and the remedy that will restore all of the organs of this body to normal action and health, and the length of time necessary for a permanent cure, if that is possible.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here. Now, the abnormal conditions we find to be corrected in this body to make the development of all of the physical and soul forces correct in this body have to do with two lesions that have formed in this body, one being that near the ganglion governed by the solar plexus center, and the other one at the head or close to the base of the brain forces; so that the action of the pneumogastric nerve force is impaired at times, and brings about or produces in its reaction to the forces those flow of blood to the head and the overaction of the nerve forces over the whole system. This we find is the condition in this body that needs to be corrected. Now, these are the conditions as we find in this body: The blood force in the system does not carry all of the potential factors in its building in the system. It has become rather lax in its activity on account of the impoverished condition that has been brought about by the diet that has been given to the body at times for the condition existing in the system. See? FEM: Yes, sir.
3. The action of the nerve forces we have between the cerebrospinal and sympathetic nervous system, and reaction caused from the condition that is produced in the body along in the region of the solar plexus or the ganglion near the solar plexus center, and the pneumogastric nerve to the head, which becomes engorged or enlarged at times in the body. The brain itself in its development is very good.

4. The nervous forces over the whole system act clearly so far as reaction to the brain forces is concerned, you see? FEM: Yes, sir.
5. The action of all the organs in their functioning themselves, as we take of the liver, is good, except when it is necessary to increase the excretory forces from the amount of nerve energy as supplied to the system to give off to the portion of the body those necessary where we have reflexes produced from the condition as exists from the pneumogastric, the same as we have through the action of the kidneys with these in the system. They only produce a reflex from the hepatic circulation as caused by the same condition, see? FEM: Yes.
6. To relieve or to bring about a normal condition to this body, we would give that into the system which would apparently impoverish, as it were, the conditions so that we would produce an equilibrium in the system, see? FEM: Yes.
7. We would make a weak tea of the maypop, see? FEM: Yes.
8. And then we would give in quantities to this body a teaspoonful three times each day, see? FEM: Yes.
9. At evenings we would give salt, common table salt, 20 grains. FEM: Yes.
10. So we will change the action of the salines through the blood supplying forces, and supply to the nerve centers a different incentive to the action, and remove by manipulation, osteopathic forces, the lesion at the first cervical, see? FEM: Yes.
11. And at the eighth and ninth dorsal. We would do that.
12. (Q) Mr. Cayce, was this body born with the trouble with his eyes, or did it come upon him after birth? (A) [EC repeating the question in undertone: Mr. Cayce, was this body born with the trouble with his eyes, or did it come upon him after birth?] The condition as we have given here has produced it when he was born here. The lesion as is formed to the first cervical, you see, then is reflexed
80-1 Page 3
to the whole end of the pneumogastric; so the effect is over the nervous system to these, you see?
13. (Q) Yes. Is it his eye trouble that causes his nervousness? (A) [EC: Is it his eye trouble that causes his nervousness?] The conditions as we have given here, the lesion at the pneumogastric, you see, center at the eighth and ninth dorsal, and the lesion we find at the first cervical causes the condition of the nerve energy to be overtaxed at times, you see? FEM: Yes. Changing the supply of blood forces, and causes repression and pressure to the eye forces all along the cervicals, you see? FEM: Yes. But principally at the lesion we have as described at the first cervical. We remove the condition in the nerve forces and in the blood supply to replenish the nerve energy, see? FEM: Yes. Through the stomach, and through the medicinal properties as we have given, and effect their removal by manipulation, see? FEM: Yes. In adjustments, see? FEM: I see. But by deep manipulations and removing these lesions, we will find that this body in its development will be restored to the normal condition for this body.
14. (Q) Mr. Cayce, what osteopathic doctor would you recommend for this body? (A) [EC: Mr. Cayce, what osteopathic doctor would you recommend for this body?] We have one here. Use these.
15. (Q) Would you care to name the one that you think would be best for this body here? (A) [EC: Would you care to name the one that you think would be best for this body here?] I do not get it. We have one here.
16. (Q) Mr. Cayce would properly fitted eyeglasses help this body at this time? (A) [EC: Mr. Cayce, would properly fitted eyeglasses help
80-1 Page 4
this body at this time?] Only adjustment to and by the conditions as we have given would assist this body to regain its perfect equilibrium. Adjusted glasses would only relieve some of the pain that is caused to, the body at times, but would overtax it at others, see?
17. (Q) Yes. You would not advise glasses, then? (A) [EC: You would not advise glasses, then?] We do not advise. We have given the condition. Do as we have given.
18. (Q) Mr. Cayce, with the osteopath treatment, will we improve the condition of his eyes? (A) [EC: Mr. Cayce, with the osteopath treatment, will we improve the condition of his eyes?] Just as we have given these to adjust this body for its full development, you see. That includes his eyes, and the whole portion of his body. Do that. We are through.
19. Now, Mr. Cayce, you will forget all about this reading you have given. You are feeling alright, and all of the organs of your body will function properly. You are feeling splendid. Now wake up in one minute, feeling fine and alright, and absolutely free from headache.
