1. EC: Yes, we have the body here. Now the abnormal conditions as we find in this body have to do with the functioning of organs in the system and the effect that this condition has on the whole system.
2. Now these are the conditions as we find them in this body. The blood in its course, we find is lacking in the ability to give, at all times, the sufficient rebuilding cellular force necessary to rebuild or replenish throughout the system, hence there is at times this tired, worn debilitated feeling that comes to the body, the feet are heavy, the pains through the trunk portion of the body and to the head, especially to the back portion or top of head do these pains come and give the expression to the condition that exist in the system from this cause, specifically, now as we are speaking of. The number of red blood cells are deficient, yet we find the pressure of the respiratory system's action just above the normal, that being produced by the conditions existing in the liver and the action of the nerves of this portion of the body to governing the functioning of the circulation through the respiratory system as we will see when we come to those organs, specifically. The number of the white blood cells are also deficient, that giving then a very poor coagulation, that causing the rebuilding cellular force to become inactive in certain portions of the body. In the nervous system, we find the brain is very good. The balance between the cerebrospinal and sympathetic nervous system is very good for the conditions that exist. The action of the pneumogastric nerves show the relationship the conditions in the trunk portions of the body base (?) with the action of the brain force itself, hence it is along this channel do we see the effect of the conditions of blood force and nerve force in producing the headaches to this body for the entrance of the pneumogastric to the brain force and extending almost through the cranium, is at the first cervical and is part from the action of the cerebrospinal nerve center itself, hence with the condition of sorosis [cirrhosis] of the liver and its effect on the conditions

through the digestive tract and its reaction then comes through the nerves of the stomach or the pneumogastric, it in turn gives its expression to the brain force itself. The sensory nerve force and centers only suffer reflexly of this through the action of the pneumogastric, at times this causes harshness, this feeling in the throat at times producing some phlegm, some cold and congestion, again it makes just the buzzing in the ear, you see, and producing at other times, now these are not always present, you see, just reflexly at times the eyes burn and hurt and pains run up the back portion of the head. These are reflexly and not to be treated for the seat of the trouble. Through the functioning of the organs themselves, we find in the throat and larynx and thyroid glads [glands?] the condition as expressed reflexly. Organically, these are in very good condition. The lungs themselves present a broad field for the clarification of blood, yet at times when there has been severe pains to the body there is a cold clammy feeling through the upper portion of the body. This is functional by a reflex from the condition that exists in the liver and the blood forces themselves. The heart action presents the condition as has been given of the expression of full veins at times, hence the pressure felt when the languidness is apparent in this body. The digestive forces are not good. These are caused as much at the present from the condition that exists in the liver and hepatics as would the condition that is, in times back that produce the cause now of the condition in the system, see, that is, the first cause of the condition was from the digestion in its action through the system causing an overtaxed liver and pancreas forces to attempt to care for conditions in the system. They became a chronic condition. When the stomach was bettered it did not relieve the condition in the liver, now the condition in the stomach is produced from the condition in the liver from reflex action. The liver itself presents the seat of the trouble. Those in the body being at present in the condition giving pain to the body reflexly through the diaphragm, to the lung expression, through the pancreas, duodenum and stomach to produce the headaches, and the pains through this portion of the body. The hepatic circulation is overtaxed, hence the inability for the body to find the correct condition, often throughout the intestinal tract suffering, at times, from constipation, again from the opposite force for the mucus produced in the system to care for these, causes, through the nervous energy, too much mucus to the system. The same forces are expressed in the kidneys, for with a high hepatic circulation overtaxed must

come to the kidneys inflammation at times and to the bladder.
3. Now to relieve and to bring a normal condition to this body, for it can be done, would be to give in the system that, that will give an equilibrium as near as possible of elements needed to produce the perfect functioning of the organ involved or create the element needed to combat the condition now being created in the system and making the trouble there. We would also equalize the circulation by neuropathic adjustments to the whole spinal column, for with the conditions we find the centers in the nerve force showing their need of being brought to their normal condition. As this is being applied we would give this in the system:
Yellow Dock Root............2 ounces, Burdock Root................2 ounces, Snake Root..................2 ounces, Dog Wood Bark...............2 ounces, Prickly Ash Bark............2 ounces, Elder Flower................4 ounces.
This would all be put into one gallon of distilled or rain water and reduced by simmering, not boiling, to one quart: While warm, strain and add four ounces of grain alcohol with three drams of Balsam of Tolu. The dose would be teaspoonful after each meal and before bed time. Follow this and with the equalizing of the circulation, we will bring this body to its normal force again.
4. (Q) How often should the neuropathic treatment be given to this body and when? (A) Every other day, preferably in the mornings.
5. (Q) For how long a time, Mr. Cayce? (A) From one to two months to be perfect in its equalization. Follow these and we will bring a normal condition to this body, for an operation is not necessary for these conditions. We are through.
