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, we have the body here.
3. As we find, there are some disturbances of a local nature, - and there are those refractory disturbances to which the injuries produced from without have contributed.
4. While we do not find fractures, there are some centers in the cerebrospinal system which need correcting in their impulse. If this is done before full lesions are formed it will be much more beneficial, and prevent a great deal of disturbance later on.
5. Those administrations being made for the face and body, - bruises and cuts, - as we find are well.
6. And while we would continue the use of the massage with Cocoa Butter, we would alternate this with a massage using three parts Peanut Oil and one part Witchhazel, - which would prevent there being so much scar tissue and less apt for any recurrent conditions from same. While the Peanut Oil and one part Witchhazel do not mix, put them in a container sufficiently large to shake well before being poured out to be massaged, - all about the areas of those injuries and bruises, and where there have been these. It will not only be soothing but, as indicated, will aid in prevention of further disturbances in the future. Alternate these, using the Cocoa Butter one time and the Peanut Oil-Witchhazel combination the next time, see?
7. We would have the corrections osteopathically, - not chiropractically but osteopathically administered, - with special reference to the sacral and lumbar axis AND the areas in the 7th dorsal to the first cervicals.
8. In the diets, also, much may be accomplished. Necessarily, there must be plenty of those properties that aid in keeping a correct balance in the production of lymph, leucocyte AND the red blood supply.
9. Then, have especially those foods that carry more of the calcium and of the vitamins A, D, B-1 and other B complexes.
10. Hence we would have plenty of fish, fowl, lamb and liver; these alternated as parts of the diet.
11. Use plenty of whole wheat grain, - as cracked wheat, crushed or steel cut oats, and plenty of citrus fruits. However, DO NOT use citrus fruits AND cereals at the same meal. Rather alternate these, having one on one day, the other the next, and so on.
12. These as we find, if adhered to, and with keeping good eliminations, should bring the bettered conditions for this body.
13. There should not be the needs of any further grafting or undoing of any incisions already made, if the areas are kept soft in the proper relationships one to another, - which may be better accomplished with the application of those things suggested.
14. Ready for questions.
15. (Q) Can you prescribe an ointment to apply to my face?
    (A) This combination as we have indicated SHOULD be better than any other ointment, if we would keep away from scar tissue, see?
16. (Q) Should vitamin capsules Upjohn Unicaps and Upjohn Jeculin be continued?
    (A) For the time being. But, as there is the more ability to assimilate vitamins from the food values, these are much preferable to the concentrated form. While these may be taken, and we would take them for at least ten days or two weeks longer, we find that AS the proper food values are obtained from the character of the diet these should be left off, - for they may be overdone, to be sure, by not being assimilated. Hence the assimilation of the vitamins through the use of the proper food values is much preferable.
17. (Q) Any raw foods especially to be recommended?
    (A) Especially carrots, celery, lettuce. Especially these, or some of these, every day. Not necessarily all at once, but some of these at one meal every day.
18. (Q) Has the surgery of Dr. W. Brandon Macomber been adequate for a perfect recovery?
    (A) As has been indicated.
19. (Q) Was our accident pure accident, or was thee any underlying cause in spirit?
    (A) Accident.
    As we find, those purposes and combinations here are good. [See [1173]'s previous readings in re choice in marriage, etc.]
20. (Q) Any further advice?
    (A) Keep in those attitudes not only of being constructive in the thinking but in the application of the principles of same in contact with others day by day.
21. We are through for the present.

BACKGROUND

1. 1/29/42 Husband [1173]'s letter to EC:
   Dear Mr. Cacey:
   It is good to be writing you again, even though a result of an automobile accident which my wife and I experiences shortly ago. We had good care at the hospital, but I feel that a reading for my dear wife is in order as a means towards speeding and perfecting her recovery. Of course she already knew about your work and is glad to have a reading. It is not a life and death matter, but on the other hand, the sooner the better. There follows the necessary data about her and a list of questions. They cover the subject pretty thoroughly, but I would like to leave Mrs. Cacey free to add any questions which may arise during the reading.
   Physical reading for: [2679] born May 6, 1917, in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and now resident at ..., Ohio, where she will probably be at the time of the reading.
   Questions:
   1. Can you prescribe an ointment to apply to my face? 2. Should the present cocoa butter applications be continued? 3. Should vitamin capsules Upjohn Unicaps and Upjohn Jeculin be continued? 4. Are there any cooked or raw foods especially to be recommended? 5. Should there be any message? 6. Any further advice? 7. Has the surgery of Dr. W. Brandon Macomber of 1430 Western Ave., Albany, New York, been adequate for a perfect recovery? 8. If further surgery proves necessary would Dr. Kazanjian of Boston be better for me than Dr. Macomber? 9. Was our accident pure accident, or was there any under lying cause in spirit? 10. Any further comment?
   I will await your bill for twenty dollars, which will be promptly remitted. Also, I should be glad to be placed on the mailing list for your summary of readings that comes out once a month.
   With joyous wishes to you for the year and likewise to your family, [1173]
