1. FEM: Now, Mr. Cayce, you are going to sleep. 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 this morning the body of [2256] of ... Now, Mr. Cayce, tell me the physical and mental ailments that you find within this body that you have before you, and if an operation is necessary, please tell me, and if not, tell me what will relieve the condition within this body that you have before you - [2256].
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here.
3. Now, this we find a very good body. The physical functioning of the organs of the body are functioning in their normal force and way. Yet we find abnormal conditions existing through the nervous system, produced by physical conditions within the body, yet that have nothing to do with the functioning of the organs, save those of the pelvic organs, and the action of these to the brain forces in the body - see? FEM: Yes, sir.
4. Now, these are the conditions as we find, with the abnormal forces in the 4th lumbar we find a lesion has been formed by a hurt to the body, and it has produced in portions of the body - this lesion to an extent has caused the improper connection between the cerebrospinal end nerve forces and the action of the sympathetic nerve forces say at the junction here of the cerebrum, see? FEM: Yes, sir.
5. This carries then to the brain forces the sympathetic activity of the forces in the body rather than of the normal flow of brain force or matter as carried by the nerve force itself. This then produces the inability of the body to produce perfect coordination in the action of its five senses - see? FEM: Yes, sir.
6. They become supersensitive in their action at times, again, they do not vibrate or respond to outside influences

through their natural means to the body. Instead of gathering force as the body should through perception, it gathers through intuitive forces rather than perceptive forces through normal channels of the functioning of the forces, as applied to the cerebrospinal force. This has been produced by this lesion that has formed. The lesion has been formed by a hurt that the body had to the back here, at times back, so that when we have the production from the system it should have been able to have discharged the regular flow from the body, this became suppressed, then when it was begun and forced, then we began to form the lesion as we find here in the lumbar region, you see? FEM: Yes, sir.
7. And its action to the body has brought about and keeps the prevention of the perfect coordination between the cerebrospinal and sympathetic nerve forces in the body. They do not function with the organs themselves, but is as the nervous system presents to the whole body, a system or world in itself, and has more to do with the spiritual and soul forces of the body than of the physical - they have lived almost a separate life in this individual here - see? FEM: Yes, sir.
8. To assist or to alleviate these conditions would be to remove the lesion as formed here, to correct the condition as we find about the globate [prostate?] glands; to correct this we would do it by deep manipulation and by the osteopath force as applied through that by magnetic healing, you see? FEM: Yes, sir.
9. Electrical force as taken from an individual or body itself as applied to this - as we find the treatment - we find this in the Hildreth hospital; there we find the proper incentive would be given to all of the forces to carry out the action of the forces in this body and to bring the normal to this body here, you see? FEM: Yes, sir.
10. [2256] we are speaking of. Do this, if we should bring the body to its normal equilibrium.
11. (Q) Do I understand you, Mr. Cayce, it would be necessary to send this body to the Hildreth Sanitarium? (A) Do I understand you, Mr. Cayce, it would be necessary to send this body to the Hildreth Sanitarium? Just as we have given.

12. (Q) What would be the treatment to be had at the Sanitarium? (A) What would be the treatment to be had at the Sanitarium? Just as we have outlined.
13. (Q) What was it, Mr. Cayce, that caused this affliction to this body? (A) What was it, Mr. Cayce, that caused this affliction to this body? Just the injury to the spine in here in the lumbar, then as the lesion was formed; then we begin with that condition as we have given that arose in the system, the lesion has increased and produced the condition to the nervous system and to the action of the forces to be acted on the brain forces and to the sensory organism, the reflex forces.
14. (Q) Mr. Cayce, in what state is this Hildreth sanitarium? (A) Mr. Cayce, in what state is this Hildreth sanitarium? Missouri. [Still-Hildreth Sanitarium, Macon, Missouri]
15. (Q) Was this injury produced to this body at birth or soon after? (A) Was this injury produced to this body at birth or soon after? The injury that causes the condition existing in the body with the action of the forces to the brain was produced at 4 to 5 years of age. Follow the lines that we have given here if we would bring the better results and bring the equilibrium to this body. We are through.
16. Now, Mr. Cayce, you will forget all about this reading you have given; you are feeling all right and all the organs of your body will function properly, you are feeling good. Now wake up in two minutes, just feeling fine and all right.
