1. FEM: Now Mr. Cayce, you are going to sleep. Now Mr. Cayce, you are asleep.
You have before you the body of Mrs. [4148], ..., Alabama. I want you to look over her careful and tell me what is the cause of the condition of the tongue; also the condition of the intestines, and tell us if there is any danger.
2. EC: Yes we have the body here.
3. Nearly all of the abnormal conditions in this body are functional, with the seat of the trouble being organic.
4. Now these are the conditions as we find in the body of [4148], we are speaking of.
5. The blood supply is impaired on account of the condition of the digestive forces and the carrying off such of the poison created in the system to hinder the body from building to its normal condition. We have this condition in the organs themselves through the digestion. Through portions of the stomach we find ulcerations and lacerations that cause a great deal of disturbance throughout this region of the body. The reflex from this condition produces the condition in the throat and in the tongue, in the root of the tongue, through the circulation and expression of the various portions of the body. In this body we find the condition of the lower end of the stomach expressed in the ulceration and laceration in the upper part, or through the tongue and mouth; the effect over the nerve forces of course brings them all to a distort condition. The system of course is reflexible from this condition existing in the body, the condition of the lymphatic circulation being produced by properties given into the system which forms too much poison to be taken out by all the eliminating channels and shows its effect in the lymphatic and capillary circulation.
6. (Q) Would it be better for an operation to assist in bringing about the proper condition? (A) In its present state we would not, for the system is not in the proper condition to accept or receive such a shock, as that would produce at this time the reaction of the heart forces and would not be good. We would give into

the system this:
A small proportion of Elm water, a pinch of the ground Elm to each glass of water, or some four (4) ounces of Elm Bark to a gallon of water, keep cool, and when this is taken into the system, we would take small quantities of Yellow Saffron tea and this would be taken as medicine. Follow with the Elm water a small quantity of Belladonna and Milk of Magnesia and highly digestive foods to be used to the body to reduce temperature or the hepatic and clear the system, using an Alkaline Intestinal Antiseptic, such as found in Glyco-Thymoline, for intestinal disinfectant where foods lie with the system, and we will bring better condition to the body. Take that found in yogurt, manufactured by Kellogg Sanitarium, Battle Creek, Michigan [GD's note: Battle Creek Sanitarium, established by Dr. John Harvey Kellogg].
7. When this system has been built to the proper condition, then we can better prepare for what is to be done.
