TEXT

1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with further suggestions for corrective measures; answering the questions, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [850]; this we have had before.
3. As we find, while conditions are not entirely satisfactory, in some respects they are bettered.
4. What the body needs the most is a rest period from labors as well as from peoples and conditions; where it might remain in the open, read, think, bathe - and this preferably in spring or fresh water; and stay in the open for at least a week to two weeks.
5. Keep up the healing forces as indicated for clearing of the poisons from the system, - or the inhalations.
6. These we would do, - with plenty of food; plenty of chicken, plenty of liver, plenty of beans, plenty of squash and such.
7. These would be the better manners for the body, and we might save the body from a great deal of trouble later on.
8. Ready for questions.
9. (Q) How often should apple brandy be added in the charred keg?
   (A) It would be well sometimes to cleanse the keg. It should be added whenever there is not enough to give plenty of fumes off from same. Keep this corked a little bit tighter, else you are losing a great deal of that you should be inhaling.
10. (Q) Are the fumes from this particular keg correct?
    (A) If kept properly - might be made so, yes.
11. (Q) What should I do for the weak spells I have?
    (A) As indicated, the best thing to do is to take a rest!
12. (Q) Also sore throat?
    (A) Best to take a rest! and use of morning a gargle with Listerine, and of evening with Glyco-Thymoline.
13. (Q) Should I take Acigest and Calcios again?
    (A) This depends upon whether or not you are to be in the open and rest! If you are, take it! If not, better leave it off for the time being, until you do take a rest - and then during that period we would take it.
14. (Q) What shall I do for a bump on my finger, which looks like a blood clot from a pin prick?
    (A) Massage it with Spirits of Camphor two or three times a day.
15. (Q) For the condition something like neuritis in my hand?
    (A) You better take the rest, and keep your eliminations well!
16. We are through with this Reading.

BACKGROUND

1. See 850-6 on 9/05/41.
2. 6/30/42 She submitted questions.

REPORTS

1. 7/07/42 [850]'s letter to EC:
   Dear Mr. Cayce:
   "Enclosed you will find ten dollars ($10.00) for the reading which reached me so promptly. I am off from work this week trying to rest as you advised and hope to benefit by it.
   "Thanking you so much for all favors, I am" [850]
2. 11/17/48 Miss [850] told a worker on the E.C.F. campaign that she was really sold on the good the readings did for her and her family but she didn't see how they could help anyone else. She contributed $2 for herself and her mother, saying she had a lot of expense and responsibility connected with her family, etc.
3. 8/08/55 Her cousin, Miss [307] reported: "[850] had catarrh, and it carried a very unpleasant odor. In fact, while she was away at school her roommate complained that she could not stay in the room with her, so [850] left school broken hearted and never returned to finish. [See 850-5, opening statement in re odor, on 8/31/37.]
   "She followed the readings for a short time, mostly with the attitude of rote. The condition is still with her now."
