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 here, [2148]; this we have had before.
3. As we find, there are disturbing conditions in the present. While some of these are arising from old disturbances, these are the conditions as we find in the present.
4. There has been an acute condition that produced the temperatures, and the congestion. This has only been allayed, and there has not been made the full corrective measures.
5. From cold and congestion, we find there is a disturbance in the eliminating system, especially as related to activity of the liver, the pancreas, the spleen and the kidneys. This naturally upsets the lymph circulation, and has produced those kernels or knots in various portions of the body. They may be indicated under the skin, in the neck, in the groin, under the arm, around the throat and the like.
6. These as we find are not the effects of ORGANIC conditions, but the effect of functional disturbances. From the general conditions, as well as those that have arisen specifically, by the congestion and by the inactivity of the liver, there has been caused the lesions. These are of a minor nature in the present, but tautness and lesions are indicated along the cerebrospinal system.
7. Hence we would have these broken up. This as we find may be best accomplished by having some three or four good, general OSTEOPATHIC adjustments. Have these about a week apart.
8. And for the conditions at home, each evening have a thorough, gentle massage, when the body is prepared to retire, with Cocoa Butter along the cerebrospinal system, and with an equal combination of Mutton Tallow (melted), Spirits of Turpentine and Spirits of Camphor especially around the throat and across the chest and over the abdominal area. Apply these after a good, warm bath, so that all properties will be absorbed the better. Then the next morning the body may be sponged off, not at the same time.
9. Internally we would take a compound prepared in this manner:

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

   Mix these thoroughly. This doesn't mean by just stirring a few times, but rather with a mortise and pestle stir - stir - stir these together thoroughly.
10. Take about a quarter teaspoonful of the mixture each morning, in water - this thoroughly dissolved. Take before any great quantity of food, or before any food is given, preferably.
11. In the diet, do give plenty of orange juice, tomato juice, even at times kraut juice, grape juice. Not all of these at the same meal, but at different times of the day.
12. DO give the whole oats, thoroughly cooked with milk and cream. The milk used should be that best for the assimilating of same. To the present milk formula we would only add about a teaspoonful of lime water to the pint, - adding this extra amount, you see, to the milk formula just before it is given. Give the body as much milk as he will take.
13. Have plenty of vegetables of all kinds now, especially thoroughly prepared carrots, peas, beets and all of the vegetables. These give at REGULAR periods.
14. Do these and we will bring a better normal development and growth for this body.
15. Ready for questions.
16. (Q) Should he still take White's Cod Liver Oil Tablets?
    (A) If these can be given, they will be well for the body, - one a day.
17. (Q) What is cause and remedy for the boils on back of each thigh?
    (A) Read what has been given.
18. (Q) How can his mother get him to sleep more, especially in the day?
    (A) Let him play harder!
19. (Q) May bananas now be given him?
    (A) DO NOT give bananas! NOR raw apples! Cooked apples, roast apples may be given, but NOT raw. And NO bananas, as yet!
20. We are through with this Reading.

BACKGROUND

1. 1/19/42 Phone request by grandmother, Mrs. [1409] also Miss [307].
   1. Please give cause and remedy for the fever. 2. How can his appetite be improved for things he should eat? 3. What is the cause and remedy for inactive liver? 4. Should his milk formula now be changed? 5. How often should he take milk, and how much each day? 6. What is the cause and remedy for the boils on back of each thigh? 7. How can his mother get him to sleep more, especially in the day? 8. Should he still take White's Cod Liver Oil Tablets, and how often? 9. May bananas now be given him? 10. Should a baby eat bananas and stewed apples when he is well? 11. What causes and what should be done for the kernels on neck, inside the skin, back of his head?
2. 1/22/42 Had the fever two nights real bad, but it has gone now - since we followed the treatments Mr. Cayce suggested on the phone, but we still don't know what causes the fever to come and go. Also we've just noticed some kernels on his neck, right under the skin. Something is all wrong, that is causing this. Tell Mr. Cayce we'd appreciate getting the Reading, even though the fever has subsided, so we can know how to correct his condition and prevent it occurring again.
