10/16/38 EC's letter:
Dear [
715];-
Glad to have yours of the 7th. Do hope you are getting hold
of your self, and have fewer and fewer of those melancholy
moments. When you feel them approaching go out and do
something nice for some one that you have disliked very much
and it will surprise you what a difference it will make in
your feelings. Say a kind word to some one that has very few
kind words said to them. My, what a boost it will give you,
yes, just try out a little practical Christianity and you
will see life in a very different light, and will help your
physical feelings also. Every thing appears to be gone to
pot often, but the old world still moves on, and it is HIS
and he has made promises to every one of us, and is faithful
to fulfill them will we do our part.
Yes, in taking the Calcidin take for say a week each day and
then leave off for three four days and begin again. The rubs
will be well to keep up for they give you strength, and will
help the nerves also. Would keep them up and would you add
Olive oil rubs once and a while would be well also. Do not
take those the same time you do the alcohol. The rubs will
do more good than the Codliver oil but do you want to take
that, get the White's Codliver tablets, they are the best
made. When you have a cold go on the citrus fruit diet for a
day or so. Take a bit of soda or Citrate of Carbonate, soda
just as well in small doses, plain soda water with the
Citrus fruit juices will knock a cold out, quicker than most
any thing.
Sure, write me any time, [
715], always glad to hear and do
the best I can. Remember it is for you, and there are lots
of people who care, especially will you try doing as I
suggested in the above when you feel a bit blue.
Let me hear every chance. How is [
1089]? Haven't heard from
him in some time. Tell him he had better write. Love and
best wishes,
Your cousin, Edgar Cayce

Dear Cousin Edgar:
I wrote a letter to you long before Christmas - but lost my
nerve and never did mail it. I write - and then decide not
to trouble you. What I wanted to know - if there is anything
that you know of that I can use as a deodorant? Of course
the odor comes from the waste which is thrown off from the
diseased organs - which you know about - it is so offensive
at times - I can hardly stand it - and it is awful to have
to be around people. I think I am better in some ways - have
gained a few pounds since last summer. Am extremely nervous
- and think so often - that I would like to leave it all.
Cousin Edgar, don't you think if I could possibly arrange to
have an operation - that that would end this trouble with the
female organs?
Hope you are well and happy. Write me what you can suggest
at your first opportunity.
Love to all.

Dear [
715]:
Just have yours of 19th, and note what you have to say. Are
you using the Atomidine as was directed, [
715]? That should
take away any trouble as you describe, for it is one of the
finest antiseptics possible, and should destroy any trouble
like that. Try taking the douches oftener with the
Atomidine. Think you will find it will do a lot of do.
Please don't hesitate to write me at anytime, because things
all go wrong, or what not. You know I only want to help, and
if it can be done when you need it, well it ain't much. Try
the suggestion out, and if doesn't make a lot of difference,
will try and other another check and see if you could stand
an operation. Now how is that. Now don't wait so long to
let me know how you get along with this.
With Love,
Your cousin, Edgar Cayce
3/22/37 "I rec'd your letter in reply to mine, about using
Atomidine oftener, and have followed your suggestion - and
think it has helped.
"I am suffering so much with my back and my right side - that
is, under the lower part of my ribs on that side - it
frightens me so. I'm afraid it's the T.B. working fast or
else there is something terribly wrong with my liver. Will
you help me this time - whenever you can - and I'll try not
ask any more favors. I don't want to get down and be a
burden on someone.
"If you can spare time for a ck. rdg. for me I'll be glad -
but if you can't, it's alright and I won't have any feelings
about it.
"Hope all are well and happy."
Love, [
715]
3/27/37 She verified appointment, saying: "Since writing to
you last Monday have had to stay at home for two days with a
terrible cold. Really didn't feel like going today but felt
I had to.
"Would like to write more but must hurry to get this in the
Post Office. Feel that I owe LIVING to you, this long, for
if you hadn't helped me three years ago feel I would have
been helpless.
"Hope you are well, and thank you for helping me."
3/30/37 See
715-6.
