Edgar Cayce Readings, 1866-11

Time and Place: 3:50 to 3:55 P. M. Eastern War Time. ..., Ohio.

GC: You will have before you the body of [1866], ..., Ohio. You will advise the body if she should allow both wrists to be put in a cast, as the doctor advises, or is there some other treatment that would be better?
EC: As we find, the conditions are such that it would be most advisable, for the time being, for each wrist to be put in a cast. For, when these are used in any manner, these are conditions that may form such accumulations, without their being set properly, as to be very injurious to the body in the attempt to use its hands later.
Insure self, after these have been put in cast, by having the shadowgraph of same to see that they are set properly, see?
Do that, as well as having them put in casts, see?
(Q) Any other advice?
(A) Do that in the present. This will be aggravating for the time, but as we find most advisable.
We are through with this Reading.

[Wire]: MOST ADVISABLE USE CASTS FOR TIME BEING BUT AFTERWARDS HAVE SHADOWGRAPH TO INSURE PROPER SETTING.

3/10/43 10:45 A.M. Phone request: "I have fallen and sprained both wrists - doctor says they should be put in casts - I don't want to do this but don't know what to do if I do not. The appointment is for 5:00 this afternoon to have them put in casts. Please wire me as early as possible, so I can cancel the appointment if there is some other treatment better."

3/21/43 She wrote: "Many thanks! Have right arm in cast. Sprained wrists crushing tin cans for government salvage."
3/23/43 EC wrote: "Hope your wrists are coming along alright. When you take off the casts, be sure to massage the wrists with salt saturated with pure apple vinegar, and they will not give you any further trouble - as such sprains do sometimes when weather is to be bad. Hope you get along fine. You will have to step on the cans, rather than using your hands; but suspect you have been told that enough.
"Thanks very much and be sure to let us hear from you as to how you get along.
"We certainly are being swamped with letters, as bad as it was, or worse than, when Mr. Mohr [Frank E. Mohr] and I were in Birmingham one fall.
"With every good wish, and asking to be remembered to the Dr. [2227], I am Sincerely."
11/06/46 Mrs. Lydia J. Schrader Gray wrote HLC, while on A.R.E. lecture in Ohio: "Mrs. [P...] took the names you gave me and called up a few. Mrs. [1866] was not interested - now that your Dad was no longer here."
6/29/73 GD's note: Today I talked on the phone with Mrs. [948], cousin of Mrs. [1866], who says that Mrs. [1866] is now eighty years old, still living in ..., Ohio. Her husband [2227] died about 15-20 yrs. ago.
