1. GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find at the present time; giving the cause of the existing conditions, also suggestions for help and relief of this body. You will answer the questions, as I ask them:

2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [2517].

3. As we find, there are disturbing conditions. These are latent and yet give very definite reactions in the body.

4. While the basic or first cause has not been overcome, it has become rather a secondary condition - and must be taken into consideration if there will be brought normal forces.

5. These, then, are the conditions as we find them at present, and the basic causes for same - [2517].

6. THE BLOOD SUPPLY indicates an unbalanced condition in the chemical reactions, and a lack - in the beginning - of the vitamin or vital forces as might be best adapted to the body - B-1 and F, or B-2.

7. These produced a nervous reaction, or a lack of nerve vitamin forces. Thus, with the disturbances to the sympathetic system, the high nerve tension or nerve exhaustion that followed, there was a still greater reduction in the chemical forces of the body.

8. With this condition still apparent, there were the experiences through which the body passed that used up the energies for the needs of other vital forces - as the calcium, the iodine - or the activities to thyroids and the system's functioning through the glandular force.

9. With the continued attempt of the system to draw on these, the basic disturbances in the present come to the blood force and nerve energy as supplied from the glandular system.

10. Hence we find, in making applications to be beneficial, all of these disturbances, as well as the extravagant activity in any of the vital organs themselves, must be considered.

11. The ORGANS have been kept in a very good reaction; through the stimulating of the centers in the nervous system - or systems, that has kept the glands from becoming more and more involved - and the organs near normal, though weakened in their ability to reproduce themselves at the same time as overcoming disturbances in the body.

12. Thus that continued drawing which is experienced in the nerve centers of the locomotories and through parts of the body, especially as related to tendons and their connection with the structural portions of the body.

13. These, then, are the conditions to be met.

14. First, there must be activity supplied to the glandular forces. Hence first we would begin by the administration of those properties to cleanse or purify the glands, and at the same time supply sufficient of the vital forces not to create an unbalanced condition in the activity of the lungs, the liver and the kidneys, as well as that especially of the lymph circulation.

15. Then, begin taking immediately one drop of Atomidine each morning before any meal is taken, for five days. Take this in half a glass of water.

16. On the sixth day take five drops at once, before the morning meal, in half a glass of water.

17. Then that same afternoon have a bath in a saturated solution of Epsom Salts; not so hot as to produce too great a relaxation, but sufficiently warm to open well the pores of the superficial circulation - which has been too little done with this body. This will also relax the body thoroughly. Use at least ten pounds of Epsom Salts to forty gallons of water - these proportions. Remain in such a bath for at least twenty-five to thirty minutes. While in the bath it is well to massage the limbs and the locomotory centers, across the hips, the lumbar and sacral areas, and especially between the shoulders.

18. When coming from the bath, have a thorough massage with Peanut Oil - all that the body will absorb; followed with an alcohol rub - but use GRAIN alcohol, NOT denatured alcohol; about a twenty percent solution, see?

19. Leave off the Atomidine for a week. Then begin again; one drop each morning before the meal - for five days. On the sixth day take five drops.

20. Then have the second Epsom Salts Bath, followed with the rubs as before - then wait a week and start all over again.

21. Also begin immediately with the thorough relaxations osteopathically, twice each week for a three to four week period - leave off a week, then begin again. With the properties being administered, let these be relaxing

treatments, rather than giving too great a stimulation to any specific portions of the cerebrospinal system.

22. Each day take same amount of CALCIOS. This is a form in which calcium may be better assimilated by the system. We would take the quantity as may be spread on a whole wheat cracker, and eaten once each day.

23. Once each week take a full glass of raw milk with a teaspoonful of ACIGEST stirred in same. Keep this up for at least five to six weeks.

24. And when there has been the third or fourth series of ALL of these treatments, we should find greater and better conditions for the body. But we would then give further instructions.

25. As to the diet throughout the period - keep close to those foods that will supply the greater quantity of B-1 vitamin.

26. Mornings - either citrus fruits or cereals, but do not take the cereals at the same meal with the oranges or grapefruit. Either take one or the other. They may be alternated daily, or the oranges and grapefruit may be taken for two or three mornings, then the cereals for two or three mornings. Buckwheat cakes with Karo syrup may be taken if desired; also the yolk of an egg, but not the white - this preferably boiled and seasoned. Either or all of these may be taken for morning meal.

27. Noons - let at least a part of this meal consist of raw vegetables, which should include carrots - raw and grated. Also have plenty of cooked carrots - but cook them in their own juices (as in Patapar Paper) and eat the juices with them.

28. Evenings - especially sea foods, as oft as practical just so they do not become obnoxious to the body. Vary them of all characters. Fish or shell fish, or any or all of these at various times, and prepare in varied manners; though never too much of these fried. Rather have them broiled, boiled, baked, stewed, scalloped or the like. Also fowl should be taken oft, and should be prepared so that the body may CHEW the bony pieces - cooking it thoroughly in its own juices (never fried), so that the ends of the bones may be well masticated and the juice swallowed. Any marrow stews are well for the body; marrow fat or marrow bone prepared or broken and put in the soups or stews. These are well. The bread should be made with the re-conditioned or revitalized flour, so that the phosphorus, iron and vitamins are all in same.

29. Do these and we will bring the bettered conditions; but after the third series we would give further instructions.

30. Ready for questions.

31. We are through for the present. Copy to Self " " Ass'n file (See extra sheet [which was enclosed] of directions for Osteopath. Let us have his name and address, so we may put him on our mailing list. Atomidine is manufactured by The Atomidine Co., 9 So. 8th Ave., Mt. Vernon, N.Y. It sells for $1 a bottle. You can buy it direct from the Company if you tell them Mr. Cayce recommended it for you. CALCIOS and ACIGEST are both manufactured and distributed by The Colloidal Health Products Co., Greenvale, L.I., Atten A. A. Nichoson. The Calcios is a syrupy paste that sells for $2.50 a jar. According to the Readings it is the best way of assimilating free calcium. Acigest is a liquid and sells for $1 a bottle. Let us know a week in advance of your completion of the entire course of treatments outlined, so we may make an appointment for a Check Physical to give further instructions.
