Dear Mr. Cayce,
I received your telegram at 7:30 same day and started right
in by calling a woman whose business is high colonic
irrigation [Miss Butterfass]. Of course, she has a doctor in
connection with her work. She was glad to be of service to
us and came out immediately to our home. After she was thru
I started with the Castoria at 10 o'clock and then the Syrup
of Figs at 11 o'clock and so on all thru the night and next
morning until 11 a.m. when that started its good work.
I never saw such good results all the times I have taken care
of my mother thru sickness. I stopped the doctors' pills and
medicine while giving the Castoria & Syrup of Figs. This
morning she smiled and asked me to get her glasses so she
could find out if she could still read. One eye is very
weak. Her appetite is returning. She had 2 tablespoonsful
of custard and 2 sips of weak tea, the first she has eaten in
two weeks.
She is far from being well. She cannot lift her head from
the pillow without that terrible dizzy sensation, lays on her
right side, since last Monday 2:30 a.m. even the Doctor
cannot turn her over.
She wanted me to write and ask you if there is more to that
treatment? The Doctor said the dizziness was caused from
high blood pressure and the conditions of the gall bladder.
He has reduced the blood pressure considerably but she still
has the dizziness.
I stopped the treatment last night about 10 o'clock so she
could rest awhile. Am thinking of starting it again first
thing in the morning as she passed a lot of slime, I'm sure
it is the cause of her trouble.
We were at our wits end to know what to do. I asked the
Doctors if I could give her a physic & one said to increase
the dose of Sodium phosphate. The other one said not to give
Castor oil, that salts would be the better in her case (I did
not give it to her) and I told Mother what they said. Right
away she wanted me to telegraph to you and find out what to
do. She has very little faith in the Doctors. I will admit
they helped her quite a lot. But she is so full of bile yet,
which makes me want to keep on with the Castoria treatment.
I'm sure you are the means of saving her health. The Doctor
was afraid of a stroke.
Please advise us if there is anything more to do about the
dizziness.
Oh! yes, this woman who gives colonic irrigation treatments
said, her blood is full of bile poisoning, therefore it will
be some time before she is over the dizziness.
With Best Regards,
Sincerely,
Miss [

Dear Mr. Cayce,
Mother doesn't seem to be improving as fast as we would like
to see her. She is still in bed and unable to sit up, I have
followed your directions as near as possible as well as the
Doctor's.
She has taken the Syrup of Figs & Castoria treatment twice.
With the enemas and high enemas. Also colonic irrigation.
She said, "she doesn't like starving". But when she eats
anything it seems to sour in her stomach. She is still
dizzy.
Doctor claims it is from high blood pressure. He left some
pills & liquid for her to take to reduce it. (But she will
not take the full dose)
The woman who stays with her while I'm at work, recommended
Vichy Mineral Water, for the kidney trouble, & she got relief
at once. So she is starting the second bottle tomorrow. Is
it too soon to have another reading? for the dizziness. No,
she didn't take any of the Doctor's medicine while taking the
Syrup of Figs & Castoria.
She doesn't pass as much bile as she did, but a little once
in awhile.
My sister & husband with two children were here last night
for dinner. It makes it too late for the baby to be out.
They will spend all day Sunday with us, to help me as the
nurse will be home, and our friend who gets our supper ready
every night will not be here either.
The weather is dark and cloudy with a cold wind blowing. The
pussy willows are out and the grass is getting green.
Mother said she will write when she can. She doesn't sit up
yet.
With Best Regards to all, [
