TEXT

1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with suggestions for further corrective measures; answering the questions, as I ask them:
2. EC: As we find, there are general upsets from the cold, congestion, and irregularities that have occurred with the activity of the glandular system, as related to the eliminations.
3. When there are the pains, we would use heat and remain quiet.
4. Beginning about four days before the time for the menstrual flow, take a teaspoonful of Tonicine each day; then leave it off after the period has begun. DO NOT take during the period when there are the eliminations through the menstrual flow. This would only be taken a few days before each period, you see, to regulate the general activity.
5. We would eliminate the pressures through the mechanical (osteopathic) adjustments, through the WHOLE of the cerebrospinal system. We would suggest Richardson.
6. As for the pimples and boils, - these are from the lack of proper eliminations at the periods, see? Hence the need of the adjustments, for the better conditions.
7. In the present we would take a compound to aid in better eliminations, and in establishing the better chemical forces. Combine these:

   Cream of Tartar.........1 level tablespoonful,
Sulphur.................1 level tablespoonful,
Rochelle Salts..........1 level tablespoonful.

   Stir these thoroughly - THOROUGHLY together. Best that they be mixed with a mortise and pestle, or ground together.
8. Each morning take a level teaspoonful of this mixture, either in water or dry, whichever is better adaptable to the body taste. Continue taking in this manner until the whole quantity has been taken, and we will aid the individual conditions in the present. Be careful not to get the feet damp while this is being taken.
9. For the boil under the arm, - we would see a doctor, rather than any local application being suggested; for it will need lancing. As to which doctor, - choose that for self.
10. Do these, for the better conditions in the present for this body.
11. Ready for questions.
12. (Q) What causes me to take cold so easily? What preventative for same?
    (A) The irritations and upsets indicated in the glandular forces. The osteopathic corrections, and keeping better or closer to an alkaline condition, will rid the system of these tendencies.
13. (Q) What is condition of teeth?
    (A) These need local attention, but are very well in the main.
14. (Q) What would be best diet for morning, noon and evening meals?
    (A) Keep close to an alkaline diet, though don't overdo it. Leave off any of those preparations carrying acetic acid. Otherwise, have a regular well balanced diet, with plenty especially of Vitamins A, B-1 and G; these from re-inforced grains or flour, or ANY of the yellow foods, or especially fowl - the bony pieces, fish, and liver, pigs' feet or pigs' ears, but not the rest of the hog.
15. (Q) What is the cause of pain in right ankle, and cure for same?
    (A) This has been strained. Just massage with any good liniment; preferably an equal combination of Mutton Tallow (melted), Turpentine and Camphor.
16. We are through with this Reading.

REPORTS

2. 2/20/76 Report from Susan M. Wolak:
   "This is to respond to a request for information regarding the two files I used recently, 'Skin:Boils, Volume 1 and 2.'
   "I have had what is diagnosed as a skin staph infection for about five years. Then two years ago I started getting some dandy boils and abscesses. The antibiotics and staph anitorin (the latter a series of shots 1/week for about six months) stayed off the problem but didn't cure it. When I went off the anitorin, the boils and abscesses came back about six weeks later. Our osteopath said he couldn't help me anymore, so I went to a dermatologist. She cultured a boil and said it was 'staph abans,' and loaded me up with antibiotics. I also had to place medicine in the nose, as she said the focus of infection is in the nose, but the germ 'raises cain' elsewhere.
   "The son of a friend of mine was cured of boils, she said, by a chiropractor, after a three year unsuccessful regime of antibiotics. His problem was in the neck. I went to a chiropractor, who said I had subluxations in the neck, also in the back. Since going to him, I stopped having boils, but still broke out in big pimples, and started recently getting small abscesses again. So, I thought I would pick up the files, apply what I could, and if necessary, consult a Cayce oriented doctor.
   "Reading 1532-4 in the file really rang bells. My outbreaks occurred around my period, and she too had pimples and boils. I tried the tartar-sulphur-epsom salt mix, and so far the pimples went away, and an abscess was stopped cold in its tracks.
   "A friend of mine also had staph; like me she noticed that the staph flares up during a menstrual period and at mid-period, then ALMOST goes away in between. Vitamin B huge doses of vitamin B combined with C promotes healing of the skin and seems to keep the infection in check. This is not mentioned in Cayce's files, but it is worth checking out. Plantain leaves definitely relieve the pain, as Cayce says.
   "Cayce also mentions the necessity of eliminating all fats and oils from the diet. With my love of salads (and their oily dressings) and my family's love of french fried foods, I feel eliminating the oils and fats has helped a lot. I am taking special pains in this diet, plus taking the compound, and emphasizing eliminations. I have definitely been helped, though I don't know if I am cured yet."
