Time of Reading Tutwiler Hotel, 10:45 A. M. Birmingham, Alabama.
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 Mrs. [3920], and the body is in the hall on the tenth floor of the Tutwiler Hotel. Now, Mr. Cayce, please go over this body from head to foot and tell me all of the ailments that you may find, giving the full condition of her heart, and anything that you may find that needs correction in this body.
2. EC: It is not clear as to where she is located.
3. FEM: She is in the hall on the tenth floor of the Tutwiler Hotel, Birmingham, Alabama.
4. EC: In the hall on the tenth floor of the Tutwiler Hotel, Birmingham, Alabama. We have the body here. Now, the abnormal conditions as we find that exist in this body have to do with the functioning organs, and with the effect as is produced by these on the system, especially to the nervous system of the body. Now these are the conditions as we find in this body: The circulation through the blood supplying forces, we find the blood itself very good in its action through the system, though the pressure of the force as given from it affects the whole system throughout where it is higher than it should be, you see. FEM: Yes, sir.
5. The action of the component parts of the blood itself to produce the rebuilding forces in the system is very good; yet the action of the blood in its condition over the arterial forces and its effect on the nervous energy as shown in parts of the body is not good, especially to those to the pulmonary centers, and at times to the base of the brain where the action comes through the coordinating forces of the sympathetic and cerebrospinal nerve centers as they enter the brain here, for it then produces the dizziness, the lack of equilibrium throughout the nervous forces of the system itself, you see.
3920-1 Page 2
FEM: Yes, sir.
6. This is being produced, however, from a condition existing in the organs themselves or in the digestive forces in its action with the liver and spleen and pancrean juices as they affect the system. The nerve forces themselves show the action over the system of the refractory forces from fear of self rather than of organic forces or of functional forces either, see. FEM: Yes, sir.
7. These are reached through the action of impressions as received through the sensory organism, and assist in duplicating the real functioning of the physical forces to act with the nervous system. The functioning condition of the brain force itself is good; all those along the throat and larynx, and then we have the effect of the circulation with the nervous system as expressed in the system as we do at times about the diaphragm. The heart action is overcharged, and presents in itself as an organ the condition expressed in the blood force - that is, for the amount of blood that is within the system, see? FEM: Yes, sir.
8. It would be well in this condition here in this body to bleed the body itself, as that would assist in the condition except for the fear it would create in the body itself. That must be taken into consideration, you see. FEM: Yes, sir.
9. The action of the digestive tract, as we see, produces in the intestinal digestive force - that is, after they have been acted on by the juices of the stomach, and the effect of the liver itself on these, not giving the proper incentive in others, and carries out to the system too much of the acid state within this portion of the body. Hence the pains we have at times along the right side, again shifting across to the left, the action of the mucous forces within the body expressing themselves through the nervous condition in the system, the pelvic organs, the showing of acidity, and the circulation through the hepatics; hence, the condition exists in the kidneys and the bladder itself, see. FEM: Yes, sir.
10. These are the conditions as we find in this body here. To relieve those conditions in this body, to repress or to give the perfect equilibrium both to nerve forces and to the physical actions as shown or given in the system would be
3920-1 Page 3
rather of slow process, but of certain process if reached through the proper channels, which would be first through mental suggestions to the body itself - that is, make it stick, because the body if shiftless as it were in its expression of ideas. See? FEM: Yes, sir.
11. That is, it believes one thing one time of itself, and another thing at another time of itself in its physical action and course, to give proper vibration to the whole system as to make a perfect coordination between the cerebrospinal, sympathetic and sensory organism. Hence the condition must be reached partially through suggestion to the body. See? FEM: Yes, sir.
12. Then we would give those properties to the system of vibrations that would produce the equilibrium. These we would find in a battery or electrical force as proper only in this manner or way. To a gallon and a half of rainwater there would be added half a pound of willow charcoal, one pound of copper sulfate, one ounce of sulfuric acid, C.P., and one ounce of zinc. This will firm [form?] a wet battery within itself of vibrations that increase by attaching to the body at specific times. These would be used as poles to attach from the solution to the body: One of copper; the other would be of nickle or silver, see. FEM: Yes, sir.
13. To these would be attached fine wires, and they attached to signal plates. One would be attached to the arm, or wrist, and the other to the ankle, left and right, vice versa. When this is given to the body, it would be for thirty minutes' duration each evening just before resting.
14. (Q) How long would that be kept up, Mr. Cayce? (A) How long would that be kept up, Mr. Cayce? Until it reduces the condition within the system, pressure of the heart forces, and the reaction of all the nervous forces in the system. Use discretion, as we would say, to the whole force in the body.
15. (Q) Are there any other recommendations or suggestions, Mr. Cayce, that you have to make? (A) Are there any other recommendations or suggestions, Mr. Cayce, that you have to make? Do as we have given if we would bring perfect equilibrium to this body.
16. (Q) Mr. Cayce, the body wants to know if the teeth have caused this trouble?

(A) Mr. Cayce, the body wants to know if the teeth have caused this trouble?
17. (Q) If not, what did? (A) If not, what did? These assist, of course, in producing the condition in the blood force; hence, the condition as received throughout the system in the action of the liver in eliminating forces, you see. FEM: Yes, sir. This is produced both from the condition of the digestive forces and from the condition as through the teeth, you see. FEM: Yes, sir. If we would treat this portion of the mouth with toothache bark and salt, see. FEM: Yes, sir. A strong solution made to a past with fine salt, and rub well to the gums and all through the roof of the mouth, and through all the portions of the mouth here, you see. FEM: Yes. Do this as we have given if we would bring perfect elimination and the correct vibrations.
18. (Q) How often should that be done, Mr. Cayce, for the mouth and teeth? (A) How often should that be done, Mr. Cayce, for the mouth and teeth? Once each fourteen days.
19. (Q) For how long a time? (A) Until we remove the condition.
20. (Q) Mr. Cayce, the body wants to know if she should have anything done to aid her digestion? (A) Mr. Cayce, the body wants to know if she should have anything done to aid her digestion? Suggestion and vibration. We have given both of these. We are through.
