TEXT

1. GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find at the present time; giving the cause of the existing conditions, also suggestions for help and relief of this body. You will answer the questions, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes.
3. Now as we find, while the conditions are very serious, we find that help may be brought in the physical AND the mental reactions - if there can and will be something of a desire aroused in the purpose of this entity, [2538] as we have here.
4. There has grown such a deficiency in the vital energies that it might be said the battery has run down, - that is, the nerve energy in the centers between the cerebrospinal and the sympathetic nerve system.
5. Hence those great periods of weakness, those periods of irrational reactions, and the other periods when there are normal activities.
6. The administrations that have been made are beneficial, in a manner. But - as most forms of these - they do not react the same each time the injections are given.
7. As we find, WE would leave off injections - for at least one period when they are supposed to be given, see - and begin instead with Atomidine taken internally. This atomic iodine, non-poisonous, will react the same upon ALL the glands of the body, see?
8. Begin with one minim in half a glass of water of morning before any meal is taken. Increase this one minim each morning until five minims are given.
9. Then leave off three days.
10. Take then two minims of a Chloride of Gold Solution and four minims of a Bromide of Soda Solution, which should be prepared and be ready for taking AFTER the three-day rest period from the Atomidine, see?
11. The Gold Solution would be prepared in the proportions of one grain Chloride of Gold to one ounce of Distilled water.
12. The Bromide of Soda Solution would be prepared in the proportions of two grains Bromide of Soda to one ounce of Distilled Water.
13. Keep these solutions separate except when the dosage is to be taken. Then stir two drops of the Gold Solution and four drops of the Soda Solution together in half a glass of water and take each morning for five days. Then leave off two days.
14. Then begin with the Atomidine again, taken as before, with the increase to five drops - then leave off three days.
15. Then take the Gold and Soda again.
16. Keep up this routine for at least three or four rounds of each, see?
17. Each evening when preparing the body for retirement, massage thoroughly from the base of the brain to the end of the spine with Peanut Oil, - all the body will absorb.
18. Give Vitamin B-1 in pellet or capsule form, under the direction of physician - NOT by injection.
19. Also give all the foods that are rich in the Vitamin B-1, with iron, with all the forms of nerve building energies and blood coagulative properties. These as we find will be found principally in fruits and vegetables that are yellow in color. Hence include in the diet all of citrus fruits, yellow corn, yellow squash, yellow peaches, and the like. All such should be taken in extra quantity. Not that these alone are to be taken, to be sure, but all of these that the body is able to assimilate.
20. These as we find offer the opportunities for recharging, recoordinating the mental and physical forces of this body, [2538].
21. We are through for the present.

    (If you cannot get Atomidine from your local druggist, it may be ordered from The Atomidine Co., 9 South 8th St., Mt. Vernon, N.Y. It sells for $1 a bottle, and you can order it direct if you tell them Mr. Cayce recommended it.
    The Chloride of Gold comes in 15 grain ampules and has to be mixed by the druggist with the distilled water. You should be able to have this done there.
    One of our members and friends lives in No. Hollywood. If you have any trouble interpreting or following the Reading, you might care to get in touch with her. She would be glad to help in any way possible: Mrs. W. A. Wilson, 5231 Agnes Ave., No. Hollywood, Calif.)

BACKGROUND

1. 7/06/41 Daughter's letter:
   ... St. ..., Calif.
   My dear Mr. Cayce
   I would like to have a physical reading for my mother. Since the first of the year she has been ill with arterio-sclerosis with senile dementia symptoms.
   We are having her given iodide shots under directions of a physician.
   Is there any cure for it? If so what? Should we place her in a sanitarium?
   Will you please give this reading as soon as possible. My sister Mrs. [...] is sympathetic and one of us will be with her at time of the reading. She is at present with another sister at ..., Calif.
   Send your reply to me - we shall cooperate and follow your instructions.
   My mother is 77 - doctor thinks her in good physical condition except for the dementia condition. She is quite weak now as she has been kept under influence of sedatives.
   Please answer soon as you can.
   Sincerely, [...]
   ..., Calif.
   P.S. I wrote you last year concerning a reading.
   Will a reading for myself cost $20 also? (physical) [initialed:] [...]

REPORTS

1. 9/14/41 Her daughter's letter:
   "Physically I believe she is better. However, no change mentally. She is quite irritable at times and is very nervous. Does not sleep well at night, also her feet seem to perspire a great deal. We are on the 4th round of the treatments you suggested. So what do you suggest? 1. Shall we continue the same treatment or go back to the iodide shots? 2. What would you suggest to give for the wakeful condition at night? We have given her some sleeping pills recommended by our doctor. 3. Do you suggest another doctor? We have not had her gone over by a doctor since we changed to your treatment. She does not coordinate well, so she is fed her noon and evening meal. We have to lock the room to her bedroom unless someone is watching, as she has inclination to wander. Will you go over the body again and answer questions concerning the condition as I have outlined it? People who have not seen her for a length of time think she seems much better. But mentally she is not herself. Thanks for your help."
2. 9/20/41 See 2538-2.
