TEXT

1. HLC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with suggestions for further corrective measures; answering the questions which have been submitted, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes.
3. As we find, while there are not the outward appearances of a great deal of improvement, there ARE changes being evinced, - through the physical reactions as well as at times a great torment in the mental reactions.
4. These indicate changes as may be wrought by the administering of those suggestions which have been indicated; that - as there is better coordination brought between the sympathetic and cerebrospinal system - there will be a much nearer normal reaction.
5. For some of those conditions which cause anxiety and disturbance, - namely, the poor eliminations, - we find that more of the lesions and tensions in the right side should be broken up, just below the liver and gall duct area, tending towards the caecum, and to that as will stimulate greater peristaltic movements.
6. We find that the administering of Russian White Oil or Usoline, and the taking of Senna Tea each evening, may be expected to, and will, give a better evacuation and elimination. Begin with about a teaspoonful of the Oil twice a day, - this may be gradually increased as is found necessary. As for the Senna Tea, - put about six to eight Senna Leaves in a teacup of hot water and let steep for an hour or an hour and a half; then strain off and take the whole quantity.
7. To aid in stimulating the breaking up of the disturbances through this area indicated, as well as to aid in relaxing other portions of the body, we find that the application of the saturated solution of Epsom Salts in Packs will be most beneficial. These should be applied for at least twenty to thirty minutes, and then a full gentle massage over the area with Olive Oil; then sponging off in lukewarm water.
8. The rest of the applications we would keep in much the same outline as we have indicated.
9. Ready for questions.
10. (Q) Should he be waked earlier in the morning, so as to make it easier for him to eliminate?
    (A) It would be more beneficial, if there is not too much of antagonism encountered by such. It is better to have a regular routine for the body, in EVERY way.
11. (Q) How can his coughing while eating be controlled?
    (A) This will necessarily have to be the result, or the effect of the other applications, and by suggestion.
12. (Q) Would you advise scolding or hitting him, when he is so uncontrolable? or what method would you advise?
    (A) Patience, kindness, gentleness, ever; not in that of scolding or tormenting at all. But in cajoling, and in kindness and in patience, these are the manners.
    Remember, these conditions are for purposes. While they become very trying to the individuals who attempt to administer to the needs of the body, know that these are purposeful in thine own experience also.
13. (Q) Is this stubborn, fresh and disobedient attitude due to his ailment?
    (A) Due to the ailment; else there would be other measures indicated. And in the building up of the body, there must be the response to kindness and gentleness and love, - more than to force, power, might, hate or scolding.
    Do that.
14. We are through with this Reading.

   Dear Dr. Taylor;-
   Just sent the information as gotten for [2014] on to his Mother. Sincerely hope the suggestions will help out - am sure this is a very hard case to handle but do hope with cooperation on the part of the family we can be of real help.
   Know you are glad to be kept busy - as that is giving an outlet for the real purposes of life. We have been busy for last few weeks and hope we can keep it up right along. Am planning some time after the first of the year to spend a few days in N.Y. Hope to see you at that time and talk over with you about Va. My would be fine to have you near us here, but just whether it would be best or not don't know. Will talk about that. Glad to know you have your license for the state, that is fine.
   Remember me to all who care to hear.
   With all good wishes
   Sincerely [signed] Edgar Cayce
