TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [684]; this we have had before.
2. Most of the factors that have been disturbing through the physical forces of the body show improvements. There is still a great deal of sediment in the gall duct area, and this makes for that heaviness, that catching in the right side, and that bad taste that arises after the meals and of mornings. Also there are those tendencies for the breath to become disturbing to the body, making for poor eliminations and causing a bad color for the body and making for - especailly through the LUMBARS - a heaviness, and the lower limbs giving distresses at times, as of an under the skin itching or irritation from the ankle to the knees. Some pains at times along portions of the hips, and those reflexes for the eyes as make for the disturbance produced to the lower hepatic circulation and its direct association and connection with the activities along the sympathetic nerve forces to the vision and the activities of the body respecting same.
3. As we find, we would continue with the adjustments that have been given at times, and the stimulations through the use of the diathermy - that will make for an equal balance.
4. First, however, we would DRAIN the gall duct. This, as we find, may be accomplished during a period when the body may rest for a day. In this manner would we do same:
5. The morning before that the body is to rest the next day, take one Zilatone Tablet about wo hours AFTER the morning meal. That evening before retiring take THREE Zilatone Tablets.
6. The next morning (the day of rest), before arising take two tablespoonsful of Fleet's Phospho-Soda, in a glass of HOT water - as hot as can be taken. Lie on the right side, with a pillow bracing the area about the liver - or with the pillow UNDER same.
7. This will drain the gall duct.
8. During that day let the diet be rather of liquids, but not too MUCH citrus fruit juices; rather more of soup, potato soup or vegetable soup or things of such natures.
9. And we would find that this would drain the gal duct and tend to clear the duct and the bladder of those sediments there.
10. This, to be sure, would require that the body take it rather easy for the next day or so, but with the GENERAL application of those suggestions made - with these as a specific application, the body should be cleared of the disturbing conditions in these directions.
11. Ready for questions.
12. We are through with this reading.

REPORTS

1. 4/14/36 Letter to EC from [684]:
   Washington, D.C.
   Dear Mr. Cayce:
   "Thank you for the reading which I received over a week ago. I followed your instructions and took the treatment suggested a week ago Sunday.
   "I was wondering just how often I am supposed to take this and whether in between times I am to take the Zilatone regularly, as instructed on the boxes in which it comes.
   "Also, should I keep on with the tonic and the instructions received in the former reading?
   "As yet I have noted no definite results, but upon receipt of your advice as to just how I am to take these treatments, I will let you know as soon as I begin to feel improved.
2. 5/07/36 EC's letter to Miss [684]:
   Dear Miss [684]:-
   "Please pardon me for not replying sooner to yours of Apr. 14th, for it was received while I was away, and have just gotten back to my desk. But sincerely hope long before this that you have seen decided beneficial results from the suggestions offered.
   "I should think, Miss [684], that you would follow the suggestions on the carton for the taking of the Zilatone unless the suggestions were very definite as to be taken some other way, or take them as needed to rid the system of the poisons that are natural accumulations from an inactive gall duct, while the one use as suggested of the manner to drain same should help it might be necessary to repeat the dose for that should conditions demand same. Don't think the tonic would be necessary, just now that too should be governed according to conditions, which you should be able to determine by the way you feel.
   "Will be closer at hand now for some months I hope, and trust you will let me hear from you. Certainly trust you are feeling lots better. With all good wishes,"
   Sincerely, Edgar Cayce
