TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [1100].
2. As we find, there is a bit of over-anxiety at the present disturbance. While the condition of the blood stream that produces the temperature is aggravating, and brings those tendencies for the body to easily become chilled and for cold to arise, we find that - if the precautions are taken as to diet and the keeping of the eliminations, and the body-building forces - not by overcrowding the body with diet but with that as is body and blood building in necessary elements through easily assimilated foods - the use of the Ash with the ultra-violet, the manipulations that keep up drainages - the body should respond sufficiently for recuperation sufficient for the body to change its environ. And this as soon as may be done the better, to a warmer climate where more outdoor activity and sunshine may be had; and then the lamp will not be required.
3. In the diet let the beef juice, not broths, form rather the basis of the foods. This sipped often is more strengthening.
4. Too, we find that the Charcoal Tablets would be well for this body, as they absorb the poisons and the tendencies for accumulations where there is the discharge of eliminations from used energies to the alimentary canal. This will require the use of enemas occasionally, but these are beneficial in relieving the areas through the colon itself.
5. Keep the feet warm, yet keep as much fresh air in the room as possible.
6. The rest we would keep much as has been indicated.
7. Ready for questions.
8. (Q) Is too much food being taken?
   (A) Too much food becomes very harmful, especially in that the body is unable as yet to assimilate properly. Hence as we find the more liquid and semi-liquid foods, and especially the beef juice in small quantities, would be the more helpful; so long as this agrees with the body.
   Take one Charcoal Tablet about two to three times a day for two to three days, then leave off and then take again. Preferably we would find that those tablets or squares as prepared by Kellogg [Battle Creek Sanitarium, established by Dr. John Harvey Kellogg] as the better Charcoal, for these are with honey and yogurt that is helpful to the lower digestive system - and are absorbents.
9. (Q) How often should the Ash be given now?
   (A) Once or twice a day, or whenever the lights are to be used - take the Ash three to ten minutes before the lights are given.
10. (Q) Can anything further be done to reduce temperature?
    (A) As has been indicated, the absorbents for the digestive system, the keeping of the eliminations - these will reduce and keep down temperature.
11. (Q) Any special food being taken now that should be eliminated?
    (A) As has been indicated, keep more to the liquid and semi-liquid foods.
12. We are through with this reading.

3. 1/29/37 Friday, [1100]'s letter to EC:
   Dear Mr. Cayce:
   At last I have some good news for you - I haven't had any temperature for four days, now, for which I am thankful, indeed. I send up my thanks daily to Him, from whom all blessings come and to you, Mr. Cayce, for so earnestly striving to serve Him, by serving your fellow man. May His blessings be with you, always!
   After we tried to obtain Kellogg's Charcoal Tablets without success, we got some of Requa's because they were plain charcoal, and had started taking them, when your wire came. The first day I took them, I noticed the temperature stayed down, except when I stirred around. The second day, it remained normal and has been so ever since. Have written to Katz and Martin, however, because if Kellogg's are preferable, I will take them, when they arrive.
   If I continue to improve, and I feel that that I will, should be able to get away in a week or ten days. Of course, I am quite weak, yet, but seem to be growing stronger, slowly but surely.
   [470] continues to improve but is quite busy on the job.
   We are happy indeed, that your father is better and hope that he, too, will continue to improve. Will let you know later, just when I will arrive in Virginia Beach. [470] joins me in dearest love and best wishes to you all -
   Sincerely, [1100]
4. 2/07/37 Sunday, [1100]'s letter to EC:
   Dear Mr. Cayce:-
   The improvement continues, altho occasionally the temperature tries to creep up a little, but feel sure that as soon as I get some sunshine and warm air it will disappear entirely.
   Am planning on leaving this week and have decided to go straight to Florida. Would like so much to see you all, but the trip there would cost so much more and as my illness has been such a tremendous expense, I feel I should go right on down. Know you will understand how I feel about it and too, I do hope to come to convention, so feel I should not come now.
   Would like a check reading, tho, as soon as I get down there so will wire you on my arrival.
   Thanking you for all your kindnesses and with love to you all - [1100]
