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 please hear me and answer all of my questions. You have before you to-night the body of Mrs. [4861], and the body is present in this room. Now, Mr. Cayce, I want you to tell me the physical ailments that you find within this body that you have before you; and, if an operation should be necessary, please tell me; and, if not, tell me what will relieve the condition within this body which you have before you - Mrs. [4861] present in this room.
2. EC: Yes; we have the body here. This body is very good in many respects. We have some abnormal conditions that exist, especially through the functioning of the organs, and through the action of this condition in its relation to the nervous system, and the effect this especially produces on the nerves to the head at times. Now these are the conditions as we find them in this body, Mrs. [4861] we are speaking of: We find the blood supplying force in the system rather insufficient for the conditions as exist through the body, though the character of the blood in itself is fairly good. There are times when we find that it carries from the condition as produced through the intestinal tract some forces that work against the action of the nerves as it comes in touch especially with those of the solar plexus and pneumogastric nerve centers. The white blood forces are sufficient to care for the conditions as exist through the system, and their effect on the used energy, and the action of coagulation is good. Through the nervous system we find about the ganglion as given of the solar plexus and the pneumogastric, the effect as produced at times from the conditions is shown from the hepatic circulation, and the effect of this on the nervous system is what brings the condition to the system. You see?

FEM: Yes, sir.
3. The relations between the cerebrospinal nerve's action and that of the sympathetic is very good, and the coordination of these forces, except when we have the action as shown in the system from the condition existing through the intestinal tract or digestive functioning organs, is very good. Then we find reflexes appear through the centers of the solar plexus force, and give off to the system the condition as produced, causing pains to the head, the nausea that appears at times in the system, and the tired feeling over the whole body. You see? FEM: Yes, sir.
4. The conditions through the lungs are very good, through the functioning of the stomach itself, and the digestive tract. We find there is a lack of the lactic forces within the system to care for the condition as we begin or produce the intestinal digestion throughout. This causes at times reflexes to the hepatics, causing disturbances through the liver. Again, we have the reflexes to the poles - that is, the kidneys themselves - that cause some inflammation at times through this portion of the body. These, then, affect the circulation which brings back to the condition as produced in the body. You see? FEM: Yes, sir. Mr. Cayce, are you about to give a remedy for this body, or have you something else in mind to explain before doing this?
5. We have the conditions here. There are at times, we find, that the food or those properties taken into the system pass into the duodenum and into the intestinal tract in too much of an acid state. This causes the condition as we find through the intestinal tract and the action of the liver on these is impaired. You see? FEM: Yes, sir.
6. These, then, affect the action of the pneumogastric, for its functioning with the brain centers then becomes an independent force or action within the system. To give or to add to this system the balance of force through its perfect coordination of the functioning organs, we would first give into the system that which would be of a food valuation to the intestinal tract itself throughout, and to cause the proper nutriments to the mucous producing centers themselves for the intestinal condition. We would take all the system would retain without becoming rancid within the system that of olive oil itself. You see?

FEM: Yes.
7. So we would give proper incentives to the functioning of the organs as this would affect the whole condition. Then we would give to the body those medicinal properties that would give tone and temperament to the functioning organs of the digestive force as we would find in this compound or condition. To one gallon of water, distilled, or rainwater, we would add two ounces of yellowdock, two ounces of burdock. This is a root, of course, that we are giving here. Two ounces of black snake root, four ounces of elder flower. This would be reduced by simmering, not boiling, to one quart, strained, and while still warm we would add four ounces of grain alcohol with three drams of balsam of tolu. The dose of this would be a tablespoonful three times a day. This would not be taken until the system was thoroughly cleansed with the oil as first given. See? FEM: Yes, sir.
8. We would do that.
9. (Q) How often would it be necessary to give the oil, Mr. Cayce? (A) [Repeating question]: How often would it be necessary to give the oil, Mr. Cayce? We have just given the condition under which this should be taken - as much as the system will retain without it becoming rancid in the system. See? FEM: Yes, sir. Till we give to the whole intestinal tract and to all of the digestive organs those of food valuation from this condition, and to the centers producing the mucous condition throughout. See? FEM: Yes. So we will relieve the strain under which these organs function.
10. (Q) Mr. Cayce, this body wants to know if this condition is causing the bladder trouble she has? (A) [Repeating question]: Mr. Cayce, this body wants to know if this condition is causing the bladder trouble she has. It is the opposite effect of the condition as exists in the liver. You see? FEM: Yes, sir. In producing to the kidneys the overtaxed effect and making
4861-1 Page 4
the inflammation as produced through the bladder trouble that condition relieving the strain. See? FEM: Yes. Throughout the system we relieve the pressure that causes this. Follow these as we have given. The action as we will find of the herbs as we have given is to the system of a reaction to the liver and kidneys in their functioning. See? FEM: Yes, sir.
11. Do as we have given.
12. Now, Mr. Cayce, you will forget all about this reading you have given. You are feeling all right, and all of the organs of your body will function properly. You are feeling good. Now wake up in two minutes feeling fine and all right.
