1. EC: Yes, we have the body here. Now we find within this body, the body is very good throughout. There are some abnormal conditions that might be as fore-runners of conditions that might or would come to the physical forces as a detriment in the body, without their correction, yet the body is capable of eliminating the conditions within the body that have to do with the physical forces of this body.
2. Now these are conditions as we find them in this body, Mrs. [4975], we are speaking of: The blood throughout is very good, itself, showing the sufficient number of red blood cells, also of the white. The hemoglobin is not to the normal effect, hence the condition that arises at times in the system easily, the body becomes with abrasions to portions of the cuticle easily, that is, the skin becomes rough easily from cold or from friction or anything that causes expression to the capillary circulation. The nerve forces within the body, the development within the brain centers show to be very much above the normal in the action, especially, of creative vibrations within the body, itself, and the body, that is from the brain center well suspecting of, very capable of leading and directing the thoughts of others along specific lines of endeavor. The centers with the physical show the effect at times within the body to be subject to indigestive action of certain elements in the system. The showing of the circulation is the expression of this within the hepatic circulation. This is not a chronic condition within the body, but one that comes to the body under certain conditions, hence the body is considered temperamental by others when it comes to its matter of diet for itself. The action of the centers along the secondary cardiac plexus gives the expression that we have at times through this body in the action of the larynx and the upper portions of the bronchials, hence the inclination of the rise at times of mucus in the throat and easily at times for congestion of colds in the head. These are reflexes simply being produced, as we have given, from a condition existing in the region of the cardiac and secondary cardiac plexus or at the 5th and 6th dorsal. The sympathetic nervous system is kept more under the control of the mind than in ordinary

individuals. We would find in this temperament the co-ordination between the cerebrospinal nerve centers that govern or have to do with the sensory organism showing the effect it has had at times on the hearing, the eye, and the taste. These are not hindrances to the individual functioning of the organs but become, at times, a matter of worry to this body, see. The organs as functioning organs we find carry at the present time, these conditions: The lung forces are very good, normal with conditions in the system; the heart action in its pulsation and respiration very good. There is at times a higher pulsation or pressure than necessarily produced from refraction from the condition existing through digestive condition, hence the full feeling sometimes, not always but after heavy meals, especially, if the body has been thinking on a subject a great deal. The stomach in itself has an inclination to be lactic rather than hydrochloric. The liver in its functioning is very good save at times. The kidneys and pelvic organs have more of less of the distressed signs of over-taxation, does this show in the capsules above the kidneys where the functioning of the lymphatics show their action on the secretive functioning of these organs, themselves. This presents an over-taxed condition rather than an organic condition to be dealt with. This shows the effect of the system attempting to eliminate, through its regular channels, the forces used in the system and in a diseased condition of the organ by an overtaxed condition, hence the need of stimulation when we begin to give the properties to assist the normalcy for this body, see, this produces at times some irritation through the action of the bladder, some irritation is shown at times through the pelvic organs themselves. These will be with the nervous forces themselves, over-charged as they are relieved, when we relieve the other conditions in this system. Now these are conditions as we find them in the body.
3. To relieve or bring the normal condition to this body, we would take that in the system that would create a perfect balance, and we would take the physical exercise to assist each organ to keep its own equilibrium or to stimulate the condition within each organ from time to time. With the exercises to keep it physically fit, with the development the mind is making over the physical body, take this in the system:
4. To one-half gallon of rain water or distilled water we would add four ounces of Clary Flower, simmer not boil until reduced to one quart, strain and add to this: four ounces of plain sugar, dissolved in warm water before being added,

see, then add six ounces of Sherry or Gin with fifteen grains of Ambergris dissolved in one ounce of alcohol; add two drams of Balsam of Tolu. The dose of this will be well shaken before, would be tablespoonful about a half an hour before meals, see. The exercises must be those for each individual organ itself, as would be taken to strengthen that portion of the body. If begun and kept up specifically and at a given time, we will give the perfect symmetrical development to the whole body, first with the exercises of the head and neck and arms; those would be for one week, then those of the trunk portions of the body for those of the stomach, for lungs and the liver, and then for those of the pelvic organs themselves, and limbs to give the proper equilibrium of the circulation to go through all of the extremities, for when we relieve the conditions through the elemental channels, we would help and relieve those troublesome conditions that give to the emunctories through the extremities such as we have here, in the knees, then at times the arms, elbows and shoulders, you see. Do that.
5. (Q) Mr. Cayce, this body has blemishes on her face - will you tell what will remove these blemishes? (A) We have this, in the first condition, on the body at times. These are the lack of the component part needed in the blood to remove improper eliminating properties. These are to be removed by the conditions we create in the system with the exercises and medicinal properties, you see. They will gradually be removed by the absorption by the massage as given for the individual organ.
6. (Q) Could the body remove those blemishes quicker by rubbing or manipulation or application? (A) They could be removed by electrical vibration, you see, but there is always a condition arising from the specific cause as of these of creating a connection of the building cell without being able to connect these with eliminating forces, and it is better to be safe than sorry.
7. (Q) What is the condition of this body's teeth? (A) They are very good at this time, but have been bad before this.
8. (Q) No treatment to recommend for this then? (A) Be well if these are cleansed with that as we find in a solution of toothache bark and common salt. Reduce the bark by simmering to a strong tea, add sufficient salt to give it consistency of very thin paste. Apply this to the gums and as a wash in the mouth, you see, about once every fourteen days, for this will keep away the gathering of abscessed matters in this portion of the antrum. We are through.
