TEXT

1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with further suggestions for corrective measures; answering the questions, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes.
3. As we find, while some general conditions are improved, it will take a little time for the response to those pressures through the shortness of breath, quickness of the pulsation.
4. And with the administrations, if it does not clear a great deal within the next ten days, then it would be well - under the direction of a physician - that there be given the X-Ray treatments through the lungs; and we may dissipate the accumulations there, and aid in the better recuperative forces being builded in the body.
5. Ready for questions.
6. (Q) Do I have a goitre?
   (A) There are accumulations in the thyroids. These will, or should, respond to the administrations indicated - unless there is the dissipation through the better eliminations being set up.
   Do these things indicated. If there are not better results in ten days, then have - under the direction of an X-Ray specialist - those treatments for the lungs particularly.
   Do that.
   Keep plenty of the iodine products as food, and the administrations of small quantities of Atomidine will aid; one drop each morning before the meal is taken for five days, leave off five days, and then take again, - and repeat this for several weeks.
7. We are through for the present.

   Two copies for self (one for Dr. Smith)

REPORTS

1. 2/43 [2817]'s letter to EC:
   ..., Pa. ... Ave.
   Mr. Cayce
   Sir I am now at my youngest daughter. We came to ..., Pa. Dec 29 1942 and came up here later but I got so short of breath and filled with dropsy I don't believe I would of been here very long if I didn't go to see the heart specialist & he said that my worst trouble was my heart & the cough that went with the dropsy so the Dr. has it under control now. I hope if dropsy don't sit in again I will be o.k. I hope but?
   I do think that Mr. Smith done all he could for me.
   I would like to know what you think.
   This Dr. said I would first be careful & not get excited nor work very much if I wanted to be spared to be with any children. What do you think?
   I have my address on top of page.
   Yours truly, Mrs. [2817]
2. 6/27/50 Report by niece, Miss [1747]: "She died about a year ago. Was helped temporarily - I helped her follow the treatments - took her to Dr. Smith in ... who said he didn't think she'd live to return home. She was visiting her daughter in ... However, she did get better and only died about a year ago - She did not follow the treatment after she left ... - her children were not in sympathy, and I was no longer able to help her carry out what was suggested."
