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, [2515]. This, as we find, we have had here before.
3. While there are many changes, and there have been much better reactions than exist in the present, we find that there has been the taking of cold - or congestions through a Period, which has brought back on the body those disturbances in the pubic center, with a very severe ache through the lower portion of the cerebrospinal system, extending almost to the 9th dorsal.
4. These have continued to contribute to the tiredness, the lack of vitality and energies that are possible and natural for the body.
5. In making administrations, - much of that which we have previously indicted should be kept up through these periods; especially the supply of iodine in the form of Atomidine, taken in the manner suggested before.
6. Also once each week we would have a thorough relaxing in the Dry Heat Cabinet Sweat, followed by a massage with an equal combination of Olive Oil and Tincture of Myrrh. Heat the Oil to add the Myrrh.
7. We would continue the osteopathic treatments, taking them about twice close together before the regular Periods, and then once every other week.
8. Daily, for quite a length of time, we would take KalDak, - made with milk. Take it of morning or evening, whichever is most convenient, but do have it regularly and not just at any time. Let it be just before retiring, a level teaspoonful stirred first in a little very hot water, and then add milk to make a tumbler full. This is to be the nerve tonic now, you see, rather than that previously indicted.
9. Use much of the same diet, though we would add a great deal of the vegetables such as water cress, and grated carrots, peppers and the like. These grated very fine and added to the regular diet would be well. A very good way to take them is to prepare them in a gelatine salad.
10. Do these, and we will keep much better conditions for this body.
11. Ready for questions.
12. (Q) Has this congestion caused the irregular menstrual periods?
    (A) It has caused the irregular periods as well as the anxiety and pains at times through the lower abdominal areas, and the bit of heaviness and nausea through portions of the body at times.
13. (Q) What causes the nervous spells and how can they be prevented?
    (A) These will be prevented by the removal of the pressures in the physical forces of the body. And change the mental attitude towards those things mentally and spiritually, as may be attained through the application of the things just given.
14. (Q) When these spells do occur, how can they be kept from getting worse?
    (A) As indicted, these can be entirely eliminated from the body - if those corrections are begun in those ways suggested here, together with the rest of the applications indicated.
15. (Q) Should I continue the thyroid tablets?
    (A) These should be put about five days apart, from the regular combinations. But these conditions will be materially aided by the addition of the KalDak.
16. (Q) Should there be a change in glasses?
    (A) We wouldn't make a change in glasses until at least a couple of months of following the suggestions outlined here. Then if changes are necessary make them, but there should be very little save in the left eye.
    Do these things, and we will bring better conditions for this body.
17. We are through for the present.

2. 5/10/49 [2515]'s letter to E.C.F.:
   Edgar Cayce Foundation 320 Arctic Circle Virginia Beach, Va. Dear Sir:
   Thank you for your letter of May 5th and I think it is a very worthy cause for which you are asking subscribers. However, at this time I am unable to make a contribution as I met with an automobile accident last Friday and had considerable damage done to my car. Therefore, until I get out of that debt, I would prefer to wait before making any contribution.
   Wishing you continued success. I am
   Very truly yours, (Miss) [2515]
3. 6/03/53 Sister's report to Mrs. [1523]: "[2515] married about a year ago and is living next door to Mother. They have built a little house. [2515] goes for some time, maybe as much as a year, without having a nervous spell; she is suffering the after effects of one now. She will get very nervous, to the point that she can't stop shaking. When this subsides she remains depressed for quite a long time. Doctors have not been able to find out what is causing this, but whenever she has a spell they give her shots - I don't know what kind of shots, but I suppose they are for the thyroid trouble."
4. 7/20/69 Mother's death notice listed Mrs. [2515] as a survivor.
5. 6/06/73 GD's note: Bob Clapp's dept. memo: "Mrs. [2515] has need of getting a copy of her reading. Please send her a copy."
6. 7/73 GD's note: I sent her a copy of both readings.
7. 9/08/73 Mrs. [2515] wrote: "I belong to the European Health Spa and use all the facilities at least 3 times a wk. The whirlpool is especially beneficial. Next wk. I intend to get a massage. Since I used to play professional basket ball and have always been athletically inclined, I have trouble with my muscles knotting up. This winter I made a mistake and slept for 3 solid hrs. in a chair with my foot in an elevated position. When I awoke, every muscle in my body was paralyzed. My husband had to help by dragging me around like an adagio dancer. It took about 2 hrs. of torture but I made it. As you know, experience is the best teacher. I was a child bride at 42. I should never have gotten married, as I have always despised housework. My husband will be 72 in Dec. and, like most men, will not take care of his health, refusing to get a check-up, so that keeps me upset. But I finally told him he was on his own but not to expect me to nurse him. My mother died in a nursing home after 2 1/2 yrs. of suffering (She was 100 yrs. old) at the cost of about $10,000 of the family money. I told my husband that when he died I would bury him, that he wasn't worth worrying about. He has always been a coward when it comes to doctors."
