TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body, [415]; this in its associations we have had before.
2. As we find, there is the inflammation of the lymph and emunctory circulation, by or through infectious forces which disturb the circulation, producing a temperature and, reflexly affecting the organs of the body. This is an unusual type of fever, and is that which may be termed scarlatina, in an excessive form. The reactions in the system for the organs involve the lower hepatic circulation.
3. We would, with that being administered as diet and as an allaying of the temperature, apply the following - externally and internally:
4. Bathe at least once each day the cerebrospinal system with equal portions of rub alcohol and witchhazel, and after massaging into the spine all that it will absorb from gentle massaging apply across the kidney and bladder area (on the cerebrospinal system) equal portions of melted mutton tallow with turpentine and spirits of camphor. Massage a small quantity of this in the area over the tubes from kidney to bladder, or along the lower cerebrospinal system, 11th and 12th dorsal and lumbar area.
5. Then, soak a cotton container - preferably flannel with cotton padding - with the same solution and lay over the area; not hot, not cold, but the temperature of the body - 80 to 90.
6. And take internally Atomidine as an effective reaction to the glands of the body, as to cause an increased flow of the secretions from those glands that are affected by the inflammation in the emuctory and lymph circulation. The quantity would be five drops in a glass of water three times each day. In three to four days reduce the quantity.
7. We will find this will prevent the accumulations of inflammation in bladder, in kidney, and prevent the disturbances in the circulation, especially in the glands about the throat and the adrenals. And the activities of these will not be affected by the accumulations of scar tissue, or the affecting of same by the high inflammation created in this circulation.
8. Do that.
9. Ready for questions.
10. (Q) Is there pus on the kidneys now?
    (A) Rather the inflammation, though not a great amount of accumulation as yet.
    These treatments taken immediately would be the better.
11. (Q) Is it so important that we wire instructions, or telephone?
    (A) Be well to begin as soon as possible.
12. (Q) Should all the instructions be started at once?
    (A) All are to work together. See, the applications externally are to reduce first the temperature along the spine where accumulations from inflammation affect particularly the ganglia in the various centers; and the applications externally particularly to the kidney and the tube area are to prevent accumulations or localizations of inflammation. While, the particular activity in the form of stimulation to the activity of the glands is to produce eliminations to their normal channels, reducing temperature or producing - as it were - the CLEANSING of the system without drosses, accumulations, that come from fevers particularly of this nature.
13. (Q) If the temperature continues to rise - ((Q) Begun by Mrs. Kahn)
    (A) The temperature will not continue to rise, because the temperature or the excess fever has almost run its course. It is the excess of drosses in system that are to be taken care of with these given. While the powders being given for the rest and for the nerve system will be active, they tend to make for accumulations that if localized (which we must not allow) will produce destructive forces to organs, as indicated. Thyroid glands would be affected; the adrenals, and - specifically - the digestive area.
14. (Q) Should all the treatment now being given be kept up?
    (A) As indicated, these are added; for only the allaying is being added until this is given to them. So, the sooner would be the better satisfaction for all concerned.
15. (Q) Should we telephone the parents (Q. asked by Mr. Kahn)?
    (A) The grandparent, the better!
16. (Q) Any other suggestions for the body at this time?
    (A) These we would do in the present. Be better to wire to call, and then give the information.
17. We are through.

BACKGROUND

1. See Life Rdg. 415-1 on 10/05/33.
2. 11/02/33 Grandmother [303] wired for Rdg. for [415]: "Send Special Delivery. Doctor says scarlet fever settled on kidneys. Is there pus on kidneys?"

REPORTS

1. 11/16/33 Letter from grandmother: "I cannot find words to thank you, [...] for the service you rendered me and my family when we asked for a reading for [415]. He got instant relief. Immediately he turned his little head over on the pillow and went to sleep. He had been tossing all night. We had retired and were trying to get a little rest when his father came in with the reading and medicine prescribed. I got up and applied as directed and instant results followed. He has been steadily improving ever since and now we can see that he will soon be normal. How wonderful is the goodness of God to His children!
   "Will you, too, express our appreciation to Mr. and Mrs. Kahn for the questions that they asked. They were certainly just the ones that we would have wanted answered if we had been asking for ourselves..."
2. 11/23/33 Young [415] printed "I love you" to EC in a note sent by his great Aunt [307].
3. 4/19/34 See 415-3, also subsequent Physical Rdgs.
4. 9/16/40 Grandmother [303]'s reply to Questionnaire in re 415-2:
   "Yes, the analysis of the Rdg. covered the condition. Symptoms described correctly: Inflammation in the circulation. Scarlet Fever, was the doctor's diagnosis; Rdg. called it Scarlatina in excessive form - organs involved. The suggestions in the Rdg. were followed about a month. He recovered in an astonishing manner after the applications had been followed."
5. 4/47 A.R.E. Bulletin article by 17 yr. old [415], entitled GROWING UP UNDER A CAYCE READING:
   "In the files of the Association, I am case No. [415]. My folder contains my physical readings beginning with an emergency one given by Mr. Cayce when I was four years old. As far back as I can remember my mother and other members of my family told me that Mr. Cayce saved my life. Here is the story as it has been told to me many times.
   I had picked up a serious case of what the doctor called scarlet fever. The treatments being given me had not produced satisfactory results and the doctor had expressed concern over my conditions.
   Mr. Cayce was in New York at the time. A telegram was sent to him. A copy of it is in the files in Virginia Beach along with the reading...
   The family says that I received immediate relief as soon as the treatments were begun. In the files along with my readings there is a letter from my grandmother written to Mr. Cayce about two weeks after this reading was given.
   As I grew older I had other physical readings which helped me over some rough spots..." [See continuation of article under 415-5, Par. R3.]
