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. As we find, conditions are rather low. Some sepsis poisons already are evidenced. There is little chance, unless there is the ability to maintain resistances through the effects of fresh blood.
4. The most helpful, as we find, would be to apply an equal combination of Mutton Tallow (melted), Spirits of Turpentine and Spirits of Camphor, massaged gently over the kidney area and the pubic center. Then saturate a gauze, two to three thicknesses of gauze, in the same compound and apply. Over this put an oil cloth or covering, then keep warm by using a thin bag of hot, coarse salt. Repeat the massage with the compound about every hour or two, but the salt bag should be changed much oftener - so as to keep the heat for the absorption. The effects of these, as we find, would allay infection in the areas and allow the transfusions to have more beneficial effect, with less combative influence from the tubes and the kidney poisons, as well as those in the area of the pelvic or pubic center.
5. This we would undertake. These as we find offer the greater possibilities for help. Apply each time just what will be absorbed, you see. Do not put the salt bag next to the skin, but apply this - hot - after an oil cloth or a padding has been used, you see.
6. Ready for questions.
7. We are through for the present.

REPORTS

1. 12/08/41 Sister's letter: While I immediately turned your reading over to my sister's nurse with instructions to have it carried out, I understand your treatment was not used. However, the Doctors said it seemed after my contact with you the patient did start responding and I am happy to report is showing improvement daily.
2. 12/11/41 EC's ltr. to Sister:
   Dear Mrs. [...]:
   Thank you for the application blank, and the report on your Sister, were these reports just now and then, might feel they were coincident, but such has been and is the report from hundreds and have been for more than 40 years, just in the same mail a mother reported on her daughter there in Washington, the same almost as yours. All praise to HIM, the Giver of Life - yea, He is life.
   Do hope and pray your sister will continue on the improve, but would insist that near as possible they do that suggested even yet.
   Thanking you and May His Blessings keep you,
   Sincerely [signed] Edgar Cayce
