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 which may be submitted, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body, [1736]; this we have had before.
3. There are changes in some ways in the general physical forces of the body since last we had same here. Some are in a manner an improvement; others show conditions that are in the position, without some activity in specific directions, to cause greater disturbance.
4. These are the conditions then as we find them with this body, [1736] in the present:
5. There is still a lack of the efficient red blood supply, and especially in those directions where perfect coagulation may be carried on.
6. Hence the acute condition where there have been injuries to the structural portions has suffered and does suffer because of this lack.
7. While there has been a condition from the fracture, still there is lack of sufficient of the calcium throughout the blood stream to make a perfect union, or to remove the disturbance in the muscular force as well as the tendon about the edge of the edge of the elbow and through the muscular center or adhesive portion to the bone through a part of the shoulder.
8. Hence a great deal of disturbance and anxiety arises from this condition.
9. Also we find there is still a great deal of disturbance produced in and through the functioning, or lack of functioning, to the organs as related to eliminations.
10. These add their part, as it were, to the disturbance in allowing poisons or accumulations to become a general condition of the system.
11. As we find, then, in making for the better corrective forces in the present:
12. For a period of at least three containers of same, we would take consistently the properties found in Calcios. Take this once each day, about the quantity sufficient to spread over a wafer or a Sunshine cracker. It would be preferable to take same in this manner.
13. Also we would be very mindful of the eliminations, using the Psyllium Seed (preferably the Blond) as weight, but using oil as a lubricant for the system. For this body, the oil would be taken preferably in this manner: About twice a day take a small quantity of Olive Oil, about half a teaspoonful, between the morning and noon period, and between the noon and the evening meal period. Afterwards a cracker may be eaten if desired, to take the taste from the mouth. Of an evening before retiring take a tablespoonful of Russian White Oil, or Usoline. Do this at least five days out of each week, see?
14. When necessary, and each day if there is not an elimination - even with partial elimination, use high enemas to cleanse the colon. This will aid in correcting the disturbance in this direction; just as the addition of the calcium through the Calcios will aid in the circulation, the heart's activity, and the variations for the better assimilation.
15. For the local conditions in the arm and shoulder (which as we find it would be well to consider also), we would massage the arm and shoulder about - or at least three times a week, in the evening, with a saturated solution of fine salt and pure apple vinegar. The table salt which is iodized would be preferable to use. Let this be so that it is a saturated solution, you see, but massage gently and thoroughly INTO all of the area across the shoulder, the arm, the elbow, and even to the hand. It would be well for this to be left on overnight, you see, by a loose bandage about same - not tight sufficient to stop circulation, but a loose bandage, just over the area where this saturated solution has been applied. Of a morning sponge same off, and massage THEN into the arm a compound prepared in this manner:
16. To 2 ounces of Pure Olive Oil, add (in the order named):

    Oil of Sassafras.................1/4 ounce,
Pine Needle Oil..................1/2 ounce,
Witchhazel.......................1 ounce.

    These to be sure will tend to separate, but shake together and pour into an open saucer just sufficient to be massaged from the finger tips toward the body. Massage around the arm, around the elbow, over the upper portion of the arm and over the shoulder. This as we find will bring the better conditions for this body.
17. Be mindful that the foods are those of body and blood building. Beef juices would be well to be taken AS medicine, not as a drink or as soup or food, but medicine; thus sipped - a teaspoonful once or twice a day - would be MOST helpful.
18. Of course, whole wheat or cracked wheat or crushed wheat, cooked well, would be good - with cream or milk. Not a great deal of sugar, but plenty of the cream or milk. Have such as a part of the diet at least two or three times each week.
19. Do these.
20. Ready for questions.
21. (Q) How is the heart?
    (A) As indicated, it will be much improved with the taking of the Calcios.
22. (Q) How are the kidneys?
    (A) These will be helped by the use and the absorption of the Olive Oil and the general eliminations improved.
    Do these for this body.
23. We are through with this reading.

    (Calcios is manufactured by The Colloidal Health Products Corp., Greenvale, Long Island, N.Y. It is a syrupy paste and sells for $2.50 a jar. It is the best way for taking free calcium.

   Mr. Edgar Cayce,
   Dear Sir,
   Enclosed please find check for $10.00 for a reading to be given for my Sister [1736] in whose name I am writing. Ten & 1/2 weeks ago she fell & fractured her right arm near shoulder & had an internal hemorrhage. The X-ray pictures showed this fracture.
   She still has so much pain that she would like to know from you has the break knitted properly & is there any trouble in the shoulder & elbow besides the arm fracture? Also what would be the best treatment for same?
   She would also like know about her general physical condition & how best to improve it. How is the heart. And how are the kidneys, also the spine & what is best for occasional constipation?
   Hoping to hear from you soon believe me
   Yours very truly [501]
