TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body, [528]; this we have had before.
2. As we find, conditions are considerably on the improve; while there has not been a complete re-coordination of the eliminations and the coordinating between the activities of the alimentary canal. The respiratory system, and the tendencies that have existed for the creating of this disturbance in the cuticle, these are greatly improved.
3. We will find it would be well to continue with the internal treatments that have been indicated for the body; these we would continue, also the wash that was indicated.
4. While the talc stearate with the balsam has not been used, the other properties have been very good.
5. For the exterior forces where abrasions have left the effects, especially for the time of scar tissue, where the eruptions show, we find that it would be most helpful first - when the tissue forms into eruptions and collects (the matter in same) - open these places with potsherd (or glass); which would be much better than any prick or the like, and will cleanse the skin more thoroughly. Then, following same, massage into the skin a compound as follows:

   Camphorated Oil two parts,
Witchhazel one part,
Russian White Oil one part.

6. This will, when shaken together, make a tendency for CLEARING the skin, you see.
7. We would change the diet somewhat to more of the BUILDING foods. While not using too much fats, we would take the JUICE of beef; and Wyethe's Beef, Iron and Wine will be helpful also. Not as is ordinarily taken a tablespoonful three times a day, but a teaspoonful in the evening just before retiring and in the morning before the breakfast would be the better.
8. We would also change now to a series of fifteen to sixteen diathermy treatments - about fifteen minutes - the diathermy - about three times a week.
9. And we will find this will build, and the resistances will be overcome, and all of the bottom of these sores cleared up, and the system regenerated.
10. Ready for questions.
11. (Q) Is my loss of weight since following the diet suggested anything to be alarmed over?
    (A) No. As we have indicated, it is rather a cleansing of the system; not to excess, but that we may have the proper basis for the building up now. Beef juices would be taken as medicinal properties, not just drunk, you see. Two or three teaspoonsful two or three times a day, and preferably taken between meals - made in the regular way, but no fats, no butter, and the same character of foods as we have indicated - but more BUILDING foods now, you see. Two to three times a week a portion of the meals would include broiled liver, tripe, pig's knuckle, and the like. Blood puddings (if these can be taken by the body) would be helpful.
12. (Q) Please suggest how I should clean my face.
    (A) As indicated, it is best that this be massaged or scraped with GLASS - or potsherd; that is, CROCK, you see. This is better than pin pricks or needle pricks, for it cleanses the pimples. These will gradually disappear, if these things will be carried through as we have indicated.
13. (Q) If I should still use the Balsam of Tolu and Stearate, will you please tell me where I may locate it?
    (A) Should be located in ANY good drug store. Stearate of talc with Balsam, you see. Peter, Bauer Drug Company may supply it.
14. (Q) Where is this drug company located?
    (A) Market Street in Louisville.
15. (Q) Is there any further advice for my better welfare?
    (A) Be consistent. Be persistent with this, and we will find these will be cleared and corrected.
16. We are through with this reading.

BACKGROUND

1. See 528-1 on 4/09/34 for acne.

REPORTS

1. 7/12/34 Also enclosed was a letter for Dr. Sargent [Andrew Sargent, D.C.] regarding the diathermy treatments, or for any other doctor to whom you may go for these. I understand that Dr. Sargent has a diathermy machine, but there may be others in ...
2. 7/19/34 Miss [569]'s letter: "[528] was out here Tues. p.m. She rec'd her rdg. that a.m. and of course was very much excited over it. She brought it out for [760] and me to read and talk with her about it. We both had a big kick out of that blood pudding. She said if she had to eat that she was going to have me take dinner with her so I could help her get rid of it, that she thought I needed it, too."
3. 12/07/34 Miss [528] told EC that the troublesome condition with her face and skin had practically been eradicated by following the treatments outlined in her reading, the greater portion of which, she felt sure, was due to her diet.
4. 1/09/35 Dr. Martha D. Beard (D.O.)'s letter: "I am treating Miss [528]'s mother, Mrs. [865], who says that [528]'s face is very much improved since she's been following your directions."
5. 3/23/35 Miss [528] obtained a Physical Rdg. for her mother, Mrs. [865].
6. 10/08/35 Mr. [1005]'s letter: "[528] is getting along very nicely and still thinks that Mr. Edgar Cayce is some kind of a god or some other supernatural being. No kidding, Mr. Edgar, she sure thinks that you are a great guy."
7. 11/14/35 She obtained a Physical Reading for her father, Mr. [1057].
8. 1/14/37 See 528-3, the first of a series of rdgs. for scleroderma.
9. GD's note: See 528-16 Background in re unhappy love affair starting early in 1935 which terminated three yrs. later. Could the neuritis about which she asked 4/06/34 at the beginning of 528-1 have been an early symptom of the development of scleroderma? Even though she was cured of the scleroderma by following for one yr. the treatment recommended, on 5/28/40 she wrote that she was still suffering with neuritis.
