1. EC: Yes, we have the body here. Now the abnormal conditions as we find in this body have to do with the circulation through certain portions of the body and with specific conditions as exist in portions of the body produced from, by or through exterior forces and producing a condition in the body.
2. Now, these are conditions as we find in this body, [4445], better known as [4445], see: The circulation - first, we find the body is very good throughout, save with the action of the blood supplying force with the nerve tensioned condition. It allows the filling up of portions in the venous or vein circulation so as to give above the normal pressure, see. Within the blood system or circulation we find the elements of the blood itself is very good and not an organic condition or not a specific or special functioning condition, save as it has to do with the nervous forces for in numbers of cellular forces in the blood are normal though full. The elemental condition in the hemoglobin is good. The body takes, needs and requires the full oxidation in the system for the plethora condition existing in the veins themselves rather than arterial pressure, so there is no organic heart forces produced by the high pressure. Through the nervous system we find the condition that produces the action as expressed in the circulation is with the overtaxed nerve forces at times and with the high hepatic circulation there is or has been and the effects are still apparent with the nerve forces as expressed in the pneumogastric and hypogastric centers and plexus, the relaxing of the glands and tissue governing the change of blood forces from arterial to vein supply in a condition not to be overly alarmed with at present, but one needs to be careful of, especially, of the hepatic circulation. In the functioning of the organs themselves, we find as this: in the action of the brain forces, there we find the body very good, capable of good discrimination, yet always not perfect judgement. The action of the forces through the antrum we find produces conditions that work against the digestion at times, for with the streptococcus produced through the upper portion or the upper antrum of
4445-1 Page 2
the first or the posterior or lower at times, there is the lack of a perfect creating of lactics in the secretions of the stomach, and it affecting the cardiac end of the stomach apparently making the organ full before much food has been taken in the system, and through the action of the nerves of the stomach or the pneumogastric gives the effect to the circulation producing over-stimulated secondary cardiac plexus. The functioning of the lungs themselves are good. Of the digestive tract, only as shown as we have given. The reflex, when we have an overtaxed condition, to the liver is to produce that state in the intestinal tract as to produce a strain to the ligaments of all of the walls of the intestines and, especially, is this shown at times, though not always, through the lower end of the colon where there are some lacerations when feces is excluded from the system, it beginning then, the over-flow of circulation of blood being attached to, but eliminating through the channels of the portions of the body governed by the hypogastric, sacral and ilium plexus or those of the sacral region or the bladder and prostate glands. The functioning of the organs of the hepatic circulation, that is, the liver and kidneys are strained by opposite cycles, that is, with the normal functioning of the liver there is a strained condition through action of the kidneys with a full, free functioning of the emunctories in the kidneys, the liver suffers or apparently does from its action. Through the low extremities where we have the effect of the strained ligaments about the knee, we find there is an over-secretion of the lymph about the end of the ligaments and muscles governing the action of this portion of the body. These need the stimulation necessary to make more perfect elimination from the system and not so much coagulation of the lymphatic forces. To give the proper balance to this system, and this body we would, for the three elements producing the conditions in the system, use those to reach the specific trouble. We would, for the condition as we find in the mouth besides the local treatment for some of the molars, use this as a wash or gargle for this body:
3. To four drams of Prickly Ash Bark, add one-half pint of water, reduce or allow to steep for thirty minutes, not boil. To this solution when strained add one part of salt and use as a wash or gargle for this body. Use this once or twice each week until the conditions are removed. This will prevent the inroads of the bacteria or bacilli in this portion of the body. For the condition as exist through the blood forces and the condition in the stomach and hepatic circulation take this:

4. To one gallon of rain water, (we need the nitrates in it so use the rain water) add eight ounces of sage, reduce by simmering to one quart, strain, while warm add four ounces of cane sugar first dissolved in warm water, six ounces of gin, Gordon's gin preferred, fifteen grains of Ambergris dissolved in one ounce of grain alcohol, two drams of Cinnamon preferably in the bark, three drams of Balsam of Tolu. The dose of this would be tablespoonful morning before meals and night before retiring, see. For the local condition in the limbs or limb, we would massage well into this organ or portion of the body, a saturated solution of salt and apple vinegar - massage well into the lower part of the knee and around the whole portion of both ends of the upper and lower border of the tibia and fibula of the limb. Take specific exercise of the proper portion of the body, that is, circular motions for the condition through the sensory organism. It will assist the eye forces and that of the hearing, speech and feeling for with the over-pressure there is at times, too much sediments left about the plexuses governing the sensory organism between the sensory and sympathetic nervous systems about the cervical region. Give exercise or take exercise night and morning but by a specific manner. The application to the limb would be once each day until the soreness and swelling is relieved. Do that, for this body is very good, [4445], better known as [4445].
5. (Q) Mr. Cayce, will the treatments that you have prescribed better the condition of the sight? (A) It will or we would not have given that here, you see. It is for the strengthening of the supplying forces, that is, nerve and blood supply to all the organs of the head, the eye suffers more than the others. The pressure through blood forces will be relieved by the conditions as we have given to be enacted upon by the properties taken into the system for the liver, kidneys and throughout the intestinal system relieving the conditions through the end or through the posterior regions of the pelvis. Use with the exercises the bending forward exercise to force the blood from the rectum, you see. Do that as we have given and we will keep this body well fit. We are through.
