Time of Reading Unknown. ..., Alabama.
1. FEM: Now, Mr. Cayce, you are going to sleep. (Pause) 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 tonight before you the body of Mrs. [2195], ... County, Alabama, and the body is at home. You will go over this body carefully, and give me all the abnormal conditions that you find within this body, and also give me the remedy to restore this body to normal action and health, and the necessary time for a cure; Mrs. [2195], ... County, Alabama.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here. Now, there are some abnormal conditions in this body that have become the normal action to this body; yet there are many abnormal conditions that may be corrected in this body. They have to do with organic conditions and with the functioning of these organs and with the circulation and the attempt of this circulation throughout the system to eliminate and to create, as far as the natural forces from the body will allow, an equilibrium, or the physical and the soul forces are working well together, as would be in common parlance, to keep body and soul together. Now, these are conditions as we find in this body: The circulation, the blood force, carries much of the poisons in the system that should be eliminated through the intestinal tract, that is, the liver and the kidneys are in such a condition as to allow both the uric acid to be absorbed in the system, and also that as created by the liver to be taken in the circulation, and it has its effect over the system and presents to the body those conditions as shown through the extremities and through many of the muscular forces along the spine the pains as is termed or called rheumatic conditions existing in the muscular forces over the body. The action of this is to attempt to eliminate through its proper channels these poisons as taken in the system. Yet, we find first the troubles were begun in the form of indigestion as produced by too much of one diet to the system, and that containing too much fats that could not be absorbed by the amount of lactic fluids then contained in the body. So there was first a granular effect
2195-1 Page 2
produced in the liver, the action to this to create an excitement to the mucus functioning organs of the intestine and liver, produced more acid than lactic force, and that begins with a hardened condition then of the lobes of the liver itself. Then that produced a functional organic condition. This in turn, acting through the hepatic circulation and lymphatic forces of the intestinal tract, acted directly to the kidneys, overloading them and causing the system to absorb these conditions back in the circulation, they then being thrown to the respiratory system, attempting to be eliminated through these channels. They brought then to the nerve centers, the lymphatic and emunctories the action as produced in congestion or rheumatic souls forces produced in the body. See?
FEM: Yes, sir.
3. This, of course, reflects through the nerve energy of each organ with the muscular and blood supply, acts on all of the organs of the body reflexly, the heart action becoming overheated at times and producing a pressure above the normal, the respiratory system being affected with the heat or temperature of the blood as carrying this force. The body resists through the good effect of the lung and air and the action of the mind in its determination to resist. These are the conditions as we find in this body.
4. (Q) Mr. Cayce, did you find any trouble in the bladder? (A) Mr. Cayce, did you find any trouble in the bladder. The irritation from the action of the kidneys as we have given. There has too much been thrown on the kidneys to attempt to eliminate. This has produced, as we find, the condition that exists of an irritation that exists at times in the bladder.
5. (Q) Mr. Cayce what caused the constipation and the hurting of the stomach in this body? (A) Mr. Cayce, what caused the constipation and the hurting of the stomach in this body. The condition that we have described that exists in the liver and throughout the hepatic circulation.
6. (Q) Mr. Cayce, what caused the broken veins to appear on the surface of this body? (A) Mr. Cayce, what caused the broken veins to appear on the surface of this body. The same condition as we have given here, with the action of the blood forces carrying the conditions as we have given, and the attempt of the natural forces through the body to eliminate through the respiratory system, has produced the condition in the veins as they return. This, you see, was along the extremities,

especially on the left limb.
7. (Q) Mr. Cayce, What caused this body's swelling, and the feet to swell? (A) Mr. Cayce, what caused this body's swelling, and the feet to swell. Just as we have described. The lymphatic forces attempting to take care of and eliminate those conditions that exist as being produced by the poisons in the system. To assist this body and to bring it to its normal conditions as near as possible - for there are some conditions that will not be entirely corrected, yet the body may have many years of usefulness through the physical force if these are applied in their proper manner, and in the way they should be, we would take this into the system:
To one gallon of water we would add:
Sarsaparilla Root.............6 ounces, Black Haw Bark................2 ounces, Yellow Dock Root..............2 ounces, Burdock Root..................2 ounces, Dogwood Bark..................2 ounces, Prickly Ash Bark..............2 ounces.
This would be simmered, not boiled, until reduced to one quart. While warm, after straining, there would be added four ounces of Grain Alcohol, with six ounces of Cane Sugar, and three drams of Balsam of Tolu. The dose would be one dessert spoonful, four times each day. After the first quantity is taken into the system, we would then rest for five days. Then take this in the system: To one ounce of Toris Compound, we would add one pint of warm water, one half pint of Sherry or Wine or Cordial, and one ounce of syrup of Sarsaparilla. The dose of this would be a tablespoonful three times each day. Let the diet be that of vegetable matter, rather than of meats; all the time to eat what the body calls for, but not meats, nor not fat meats especially. If any is taken, let it be that of the sinew, rather than of the fat portions. See?
FEM: Yes, sir.
After this is taken in the system, then we would make another quantity of the first prescription as given. We will find this will relieve this body and bring it to a normal condition as near as will be possible on this plane. We are through.
8. Now, Mr. Cayce, you will forget all about this reading

you have given. You are feeling all right, and all of the organs of your body will function properly. You are feeling splendid. Now, wake up in two minutes, feeling fine and all right, and free from headache.
