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: Yes, we have the body, [2076]; this we have had before.
3. As we find, apparently - or outwardly - there is not any great change, save in some respects the apparent loss of activity in coordinating the sensory forces of the body.
4. However, we find that the basic conditions have begun to be aided, so that with persistent and consistent effort in the directions which have been and may be outlined, there may be real help or aid - which may begin to be shown within the next three to four weeks.
5. These, then, are those changes or alterations as we find would be better for the body in the present:
6. In every other series of the Atomidine, we would increase the quantity to three minims; then have the rest period, and in the next series go back to the one minim; then in the next series give the three minims, you see - and so on.
7. If the osteopathic adjustments tend to ease the body more, we would increase these to three to four each week. Make them for the stimulation to the upper portion of the body for better drainages, and to the lower portions - or from the 9th dorsal downward - for better relaxation.
8. The massages and exercises we would give daily. With the general massage of the limbs and the body, use an equal combination of Olive Oil and Peanut Oil. Pour a small quantity in the hand and massage this on the body, rubbing until it is fully absorbed. Give such a massage oftener than once a day if it brings ease to the body, but at least give it daily.
9. Occasionally, between the series of taking the Atomidine, but not during the period of taking the Atomidine, we would have a series of Chloride of Gold and Soda. Prepare these solutions in this manner, and keep separated until the dosage is to be taken:
10. Add one grain Chloride of Gold to one ounce of Distilled Water. Keep this as one solution.
11. Add two grains Bicarbonate of Soda to one ounce of distilled water. Keep this as another solution.
12. About every third rest period from taking the Atomidine, we would take - preferably of evening - one minim of the Gold Solution and two minims of the Soda Solution in half a glass of water; for the five-day period, you see.
13. Keep up the rest of those things suggested, in the manners that have been indicated.
14. Ready for questions.
15. (Q) How often would you advise having the high colonics?
    (A) So long as there is the lack of the eliminations, and especially so long as there are the effects of gas and of mucous indicated in the stool at the time of the colonic irrigations, these should be kept up. They should not be given so close together as to be a drain on the system, but sufficiently close that there are not the accumulations of the poisons from gas or from congestions in the colon.
16. (Q) Is any exercise for her hands advised? If so, what?
    (A) The massage with the oils should include the hands, of course, and these should be exercised when the massage is given.
17. (Q) Is there anything that may be done to strengthen her speech, which grows weaker daily?
    (A) The osteopathic stimulations in the upper dorsal and throughout the cervical, and stimulation to the vagus centers, SHOULD stimulate the ability to coordinate in the reactions from the vocal cords - and especially the absorption of the oils from the massage as indicated.
    If there is the accumulation of fecal forces as to cause disturbance through the abdominal area, we would use persistently the Castor Oil Packs. Use two or three thicknesses of heavy flannel, sufficiently large to cover the abdominal area. These would be wrung out of the Castor Oil, not merely the Oil poured on, and applied directly to the body; as warm as possible, or warm enough to be pleasant in the application - though it is somewhat messy. Then cover these with cloths, and apply dry heat - as of an electric pad. These would be kept on for an hour each evening, for a couple of days. Then give a tablespoonful of Olive Oil. Then, of course, a colonic may be given following same, if there is not the cleansing as desired from the Olive Oil. If there is the accumulation through the abdominal area, these may be used once a week, - that is, this whole procedure, - the Castor Oil packs for an hour each day for two days, then the Olive Oil internally, and then the colonic if needed.
18. (Q) Would it be advisable for her to go to Florida about the first of April?
    (A) This will depend upon the reactions which will be brought about between now and that period. The weather or the conditions in the present environs by that time SHOULD be such that more of the air and sunshine may be had which would be BETTER than the Florida sunshine, for this particular body, - and the baths, of course, may be taken in the present environs.
19. (Q) Can you give any idea as to when she might see some improvement?
    (A) Do these, as we find for this body, and we should see - within a month to six weeks - decided changes for the better.
20. We are through with this Reading.

REPORTS

1. 3/06/40 Mother's letter:
   Dear Mr. Cayce,
   We are in receipt of your last report, resulting from the reading you gave for my daughter, [2076] on January 26th. Thank you.
   We are carrying out explicitly your suggestions and hope we may see some marked improvement in her condition within the next four to six weeks, as you stated we might see about that time.
   Thank you for mailing promptly the clinical reports to Dr. G. W. Hall in Fla. Mr. [...] [[2076]'s father] interviewed him while on a trip to Fort Lauderdale, but he had nothing to suggest to us to do for her which we are interested in carrying out.
2. Routine mailing to mother was later returned marked ADDRESS UNKNOWN.
