TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, Edgar Cayce; this we have had before.
2. As we find, in the present there is the acute condition in the lower portion of the duodenum - or that emptying into the jejunum; produced by a strangulation in the gall duct and thus causing the superacidity and formation of gas in the duodenum, and lack of digestion and assimilation for the system.
3. In the present, there should not be attempts to use the body in those activities such as are indicated in the present - even that in which it is giving; for these are strains upon the system. THIS FIRST!
4. And the next - DO NOT SMOKE! only once or the like AFTER meals!
5. The body should retire - in bed.
6. Make applications of the heavy Castor Oil Packs over the liver, the gall duct AND the colon - or the upper jejunum rather to that area.
7. Keep the body - the feet - WARM!
8. Bathe often in large quantities of VERY Hot water. This at least once each day, until conditions are adjusted.
9. Keep only strengthening, semi-liquid foods and the like; such as egg, the cereals, fruit juices - these may be taken. Beef juices, broths and the like.
10. Then take the Zilatone until there is the full reaction from same.
11. And keep the body quiet; keeping the activities of the system alkalized.
12. Ready for questions.
13. (Q) How often should the Zilatone be taken, and how much at a dose?
    (A) Two tablets should be taken after each meal, until at least three to six periods have been covered.
14. (Q) How long and how often should the Castor Oil Packs be given?
    (A) Continuously until there is an ALLAYING of the pain, or until there is the relaxing so that this prolapsus or folding of the intestinal system - where the disturbance comes from the lack of the flow from the activities of the liver and of the system - is allowed, by the natural flow of the lymph and the emunctory circulation, to keep same open.
15. (Q) Should the Charcoal Tablets be taken?
    (A) The Charcoal Tablets should be taken; two to six after each meal.
16. (Q) Should any other medicinal properties be taken internally?
    (A) Only those that may make for relaxing the body.
17. (Q) Is the eggnog good for the body?
    (A) Eggnog is very good for the body.
18. We are through for the present.
