TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [1045]; this we have had before.
2. As we find, while the conditions have apparently become more aggravated, this is rather a dissemination of the poisons through the system.
3. Now, as we find, WITH the manipulations (for these have been VERY well done), we would add these:
4. First begin with the grape poultice over the abdominal area. Fresh crushed grapes, preferably the Concord variety. These poultices, as we find, should be given almost throughout the day - the present day. Change the poultice about every hour, or hour and a half, or whenever the poultice becomes very warm from the body-heat. Let the poultice be at least half an inch thick between cloths that allow absorption.
5. Massage or stimulate the lumbar and lower dorsal area, or throughout the dorsal area, with the pure grain alcohol; that there may be a reduction of the temperature. And this will coordinate with the acids absorbed by the body from the grapes.
6. These should be begun at once.
7. And in the evening we would begin with the colonic irrigations, that the toxic forces which are tending to make for such an irritation in the superficial circulation may be the more eliminated through the alimentary canal. Also the addition of the massage, of course, across this area will tend to make for greater eliminations through the kidneys themselves.
8. Stimulate those areas through the chest and over the lower portion of the lungs, so that the congestions there, the lymph flow through these, the tendencies for the soft tissue in the head and face, may be cleansed; by using the hot applications of an equal combination of Mutton Suet, Turpentine and Spirits of Camphor. But when the solution is massaged into the body, apply over same (or rather than massaging same, put it on as a hot application, and then apply over same) the hot salt packs - or bags of heated salt. And this will change the reaction. For this combination makes for a loosening of the congestions through these areas, allowing the activities that are given to the lower portion of the body to become then coordinated with the respiratory system. This will produce, as it were, an even greater foulness in the breath; the breathing of the body.
9. But in the room where there is the taking in of the breath, let there be the fumes breathed into the body from a croup cup or a kettle boiling. Into a gallon of the boiling water (or this proportion, whether using the kettle or the croup cup), put a teaspoonful of a solution made from equal parts of Tincture or Oil of Eucalyptus and Oil of Pine Needles. With this boiled in the room, the air then becomes such that when breathed it will make for a purifying of the tissue through the nostril, through the mouth, through the throat and into the lungs themselves. For these, then, will coordinate together.
10. First there should be given throughout the day, as indicated, the grape poultices and the alcohol rub - over the areas designated.
11. In the evening the colonic irrigations would be begun.
12. But the alcohol rubs along the small of the back and across the hips, for the stimulations, would be kept up for several days; until there is the ability for the ASSIMILATIONS - through the food values given - and the reduction of temperature.
13. Do not become overanxious as to the diet. Let the body have little fever before there is the attempt to give other than a liquid or a fruit juice diet.
14. Then we may begin with junket, arrowroot, and gradually build UP the system.
15. The applications across the chest and the back, over the lung area, of the combination of oils (or the spirits of turpentine and the spirits of camphor, that will be healing, and making for superficial activity) with the salt bags, should be kept for periods of two to three hours for three or four days; or until those CONGESTIONS have been removed.
16. Carry these, then, in coordination throughout the body, and we will find the body should soon begin to improve; if these are kept nominally, with the manipulations kept for clearing the head of those pains that naturally arise from the intense temperatures at times.
17. When there is the desire for foods, have the broths from wild game, or lamb or fowl; preferably the wild game as much as possible.
18. Then we will find the body will gradually come to normalcy.
19. Ready for questions.
20. (Q) How often should the manipulations be given now, and over just what area?
    (A) These, as we find, during the period that these other applications are being made, should be at least once each day; or oftener if they are required for the producing of drainages along the ganglia, to act with all of the eliminating systems.
21. (Q) Just what solution should be used for the colonic irrigations?
    (A) Preferably the saline; NOT too much soda. Excess saline rather than soda; but use an antiseptic solution - as with Glyco-Thymoline - in the last water. There will be the necessity of at least an irrigation each day for two or three days. But this depends, to be sure, upon the ability to keep down the temperature.
22. (Q) During the present day and the next few days, just what nourishment or stimulation should be given?
    (A) Fruit juices or vegetable juices; not those that carry any grease.
    Do these, for the better conditions of this body, [1045].
23. We are through with this reading.

REPORTS

1. 12/05/35 Husband [1745]'s letter to EC:
   ..., Texas
   Mr. Edgar Cayce, Detroit, Mich.
   Dear Mr. Cayce:
   We are very anxious to follow treatments according to your direction; and would like to keep in direct touch with you [for] some interpretations of instructions which we do not quite understand.
   We began second treatment immediately upon receipt of wire from Mrs. [1100]. Unable to get Concord grapes for poultices. We used the large Tokay variety. The doctor gave two colonics and said that was sufficient, as the trouble seemed to be higher and that the colon was clean. He is giving the osteopathic manipulations DAILY. Occasionally room is filled with vapor from Oil of Pine Needles and Oil of Eucalyptus.
   Results: Patient now running high temperature daily, raising at night. Tonight 103 degrees. Very sore place, terribly tight soreness in right side just below the ribs and reaching to the pit of stomach - pretty sore in chest. Severe coughing spells with nausea. The prescribed solution checks this nausea. The patient continued on fruit and vegetable juices for five days and then added soft non-fibrous diet. Her eyes are bad, with red swollen lids. Her throat is not quite as sore as it was, but still some trouble with vocal chords or larynx.
   Now we are worried for fear that we have not interpreted instructions correctly. Should we have continued with the Animated Ash and Ultra Violet Rays in addition to poultices and hot salt packs? Should vapor from solution of Oil of Pine Needles and Eucalyptus be kept in room constantly or just occasionally?
   Perhaps we are over anxious and expect greater results than are possible. You can perhaps understand our mental attitude when I tell you that my wife has been in THIS serious condition since January 1935, following treatment by a Health Doctor whose treatment consisted of Heat baths, massage, and raw fruit and vegetable diet.
   I believe my wife can get well by following prescribed treatment by you; I only wish that we were able to be in some place where you could watch and direct this treatment.
   Hoping that you will not misunderstand us, and that we will hear from you soon, I am
   Very truly yours [1745]
