(Q) How should the fig poultice be made and applied?
(A) There are regular fig poultices for such conditions, or
may be made of the preserved figs - not that as is made
preserves OF, but that as is packed
1, and this opened and
soaked in cream, or in that as already prepared for such
conditions. This is healing, and will REMOVE the excess
poisons. Do that.
We are through for the present.
1 [GD's note: I heard EC describe to someone how to open up
a DRIED fig and soak it in warm milk or cream and apply to an
abscessed tooth. He said it would draw out poison, relieve
pain, etc.]
BACKGROUND
See
569-12 on
3/23/27 mainly for a breast condition, and
subsequent Reports.
9/25/27 [
569]'s letter: "I have suffered with my face and
head not for more than a month. I think it's all coming from
a tooth the dentist is treating but as yet can't see any
improvement... I told him I thought it was an abscess at the
root but he says not... I have almost turned to dope... The
bone in my face is so sore I can't bear to touch it. It's an
upper tooth on the right side, and that whole side of my face
is in a rack of misery all the time... I had about made up
my mind to go tomorrow and have it pulled out, but [
760] said
for me to write you for a rdg. and let you tell me if it
should come out... Please ask also if the other trouble I
have is relieved, and would the Radium Applicator make this
skin affection worse and what should I do to heal it up, as
it breaks out. It is so much worse across my back from one
hip to the other - it is almost solid... Should I continue
to wear it on my back?"
REPORTS
10/03/27 [
569]'s letter: "My rdg. and ltr. rec'd Sat. A.M.
You just don't know how much I appreciate your doing all this
for me. I have suffered so much with my face and head that I
had one tooth taken out on Tuesday (
9/27/27) before you gave
the rdg., but I still have another to come out - the last
back jaw tooth on the right side (upper). I have felt all
the time that it should come out but was just hoping that
something might be done to save it. The one he took out
Tues. was in bad shape - the roots had turned black and I
just know there is an abscess at the root of the one you said
to take out. I'm going in this P.M. and let Dr. Flener take
it out, for I am nearly sick enough to be in bed. I just
hope I can find the figs - sure will get them if they are in
this town."
