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; answering the questions, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here; this we have had in part before.
3. Now, as we find in the present, there is rather the complication of disturbances that prevent the better normal functioning through the body.
4. In making corrections, we find that many varied conditions are to be taken into consideration.
5. And, if the body would gain the better results, it should keep rather quiet through the greater part of the period of preparation for making corrections, at least - or for the first period of the applications that will be indicated for eliminating the sources of disturbances.
6. These, then, are conditions as we find them with this body, [2843] we are speaking of:
7. First, the blood supply indicates quite an anemic condition; as a great deal of the resistance is builded against those disturbances that require a great deal of activity through the white blood and the leucocyte.
8. Hence the low blood pressure, and the quickening - or pulsations becoming rapid; dizziness, and tendencies for the body to easily lose its equilibrium.
9. More of these effects may be felt at times through the first three to four weeks of these treatments. Thus that injunction that the body should tend to keep more quiet than active.
10. As to the injuries which have existed at various times through the body, we find that while there are not broken bones, or fractures, there are strains produced through areas, - as through the side and chest, and through the limbs, knees and ankles.
11. And with the lack of proper quantities in the lymph, and the lack of red blood supply for energies, there is the tendency to form greater quantities of scar tissue.
12. Thus the stiffness, and the lack of proper elasticity to body-forces and body-functionings.
13. Also there are those conditions in the lymph where there are accumulations, as the condition of the eyes. While these show some betterment, with the proper set-up of - or for eliminations - we should find still greater improvement.
14. We would also use the Irish Potato Poultice for an hour each day, at least five days each week. Scrape the Irish potato (old potato) and apply with a bandage for one hour. Each time after removing the bandage, cleanse the eyes with a weakened solution of Boracic Acid, the strength as would be applied even for a baby's eyes.
15. Afterwards use, for a minute, the Double Eye applicator of the Violet Ray; not more than a minute; using after same a warm saline solution as a wash for the eyes, see?
16. This should be done an hour each day, five days out of each week, for at least three weeks.
17. Also each day, or five days each week for at least three weeks, - apply, over the area where there is the hurting in the side, and close to the rib, an equal combination of Mutton Tallow (melted), Spirits of Turpentine and Spirits of Camphor. Massage into the body what will be absorbed. Heat the Mutton Tallow to add the others, in the order named. Then, after this is massaged into the body, apply the heavy flannel saturated with the same solution, see? Then apply an electric pad.
18. This may be done on limbs, knees and also ankles; though on the ankles and knees we would bind same on with a heavy hot salt poultice, rather than the flannel, though putting a flannel around same. Heat the heavy salt, you see.
19. Also we would prepare a compound in this manner:

    Rochelle Salts.............2 level tablespoonsful,
Cream of Tartar............2 level tablespoonsful,
Sulphur....................2 level tablespoonsful.

    Mix these thoroughly together, VERY thoroughly. And each morning before any meal is taken, for three weeks, take at least a level teaspoonful of this mixture, - either in water, dry, or combined with syrup or honey - however it may be more palatable for the body.
20. In the matter of the diet, for the strength of the body, use vegetable juices; not raw juices but cooked combinations; beans, lentils, peas, cabbage and the like; a little meat, but not large quantities of same. Chicken soups with barley, with rice; varying these. Fish and fish soups, - all of these take in varied quantities according to the appetite of the body.
21. Include in the morning meals egg, principally the yolk of same, and breakfast bacon at times, with rice or buckwheat cakes at times.
22. Do take at least three teaspoonsful of beef juice daily; not all at once, but about a teaspoonful at the time, and take two to three minutes in swallowing this amount. This may be made in a small quantity, a pound of beef at the time, but take only the juice - seasoned to the taste - for strength.
23. Do these, and be consistent with them, for at least three weeks; not just three periods of five days each, but keep up all of these for a full three weeks.
24. Then we would give further instructions.
25. Do have each day, after the bath, a Peanut Oil rub along the spine, and along each limb; gently, to be sure, over the painful areas in the ribs, the knees, ankle and feet, but DO rub them with the oil.
26. These as we find should bring better conditions for this body, [2843].
27. Ready for questions.
28. (Q) What is the matter with her throat?
    (A) This comes from a poor circulation, a drying of the mucous membranes through the area. The better eliminations set up, with the character of foods indicated and the massages, should soon clear this condition; as well as the violet ray treatments for the eyes will aid this condition also.
    Do ALL indicated here, and be persistent. Do not be overactive. But keep in a better mental attitude, of not only being good but good FOR something, - in counsel, in advice, in association. Speak well of self and better of others.
29. We are through for the present.

REPORTS

1. 12/03/42 Letter regarding her daughter [630]'s results from EC's reading:
   Now, I wish you to advise me on my reading. Have completed three weeks treatment. The fall seems to have aggravated the old injury in the side and caused some uneasiness in the left side and along the side of the spine under the shoulder. This is severe at times. I wish your opinion as to whether I should take up the treatment again right away and continue as long as the strained condition remains or have rest intervals. The reading doesn't state just what should be done.
   Everything except the eye treatment has been carried out. There isn't a doctor here who has a Double Eye Applicator of the Ray. Moreover, they said they wouldn't use one for the world. I wrote Mr. [779] in ... to see if he had had any experience with one. He has not.
   I think there must be some law against them [Violet Ray] in Alabama. You may remember that [311] had a reading for me many years ago which called for two different rays. I couldn't get anyone to give me the treatment. I learned afterwards that Mr. [779] had the rays called for and would gladly have helped me out. But in the meantime [311] had had another reading to see what would be the next best thing.
   I know I am taking a chance sending money this way but it is rather difficult to get to the post office sometimes.
   Thanking you for time on the reading and any advice you may be able to give me on same, I am,
   Sincerely Mrs. [2843]
   Can you advise how to get the applicator, but if I had one, I would have to have someone of confidence to use it. In the meantime would you advise using the rest of the eye treatment without the Double Eye applicator.
2. 12/08/42 EC's letter to Mrs. [2843]:
   Dear Mrs. [2843]
   Thank you for yours of the 3rd - and for enclosure. Am so happy to know Miss [630] is feeling better - all thanks to HIM the giver of all good and perfect gifts.
   Do hope she will keep on the improve and doesn't have to take such risks again, but takes care of herself and keeps up the suggestions from time to time. The Publishers promised the books - THERE IS A RIVER - would be mailed on the 4th of Dec. Hope they get going soon. Thank you - felt you would wish one.
   About your self - yes think you should take up the treatments again, and give the area where the hurt is under the shoulder and along the spine there special attention, then very soon make a new set of questions, send them along and lets check up and see what the reading has to say about your getting the double eye applicator now, where, and how to use it. Believe that would be the better way to determine. Yes have had several times when the Dr's insisted not to use electricity when the reading insisted to use it. When used however it has real help, but lets be sure about this for you.
   Hope you are feeling much better and get some questions together. Let me hear and will check up on these questions, but do keep up the suggestions as far as you can.
   We have a little grandson [Charles-Thomas Taylor Cayce, son of Hugh Lynn and Sally Cayce] now. He is just two months old. Is a fine little fellow, don't have to tell you we are crazy about him.
   With every good wish to all
   Sincerely [signed] Edgar Cayce
3. 8/19/43 Mrs. [2843]'s letter:
   From the fine reports, it looks as if I may have to wait sometime for an appointment. Glad to hear of the interest.
   Regret that the suggestions for eyes could not be carried out. If at his time same suggestions stand, please advise how they can be carried out, as there is no instrument here or doctor that will use one. Any work that calls for distance of over nine inches from eyes, causes a sickish nervousness.
   The old hurts return frequently, but we are happy they are better. Rather uncomfortable if I'm where I can't lie down for half an hour when they do come on.
   Have palpitations frequently and flatulence most of the time.
   The last paragraph of my Readings are always the hardest to overcome, therefore, I have about reached the conclusion that much of my errors are due to sensitiveness or to the emotions. Since the fall I had some months ago, any slight emotional upset causes so much nervousness and sometimes pain in back of head, which heretofore, was only felt when there was great emotional strain. [Son] had a Chemist friend who can capsulate any kind of vitimin. He is anxious to help in that line, but we don't take such things promiscuously so I told him I would ask in my next reading, provided it was right to do so. It sounds unnecessary so disregard it. What is necessary for the body is suggested.
   I can seldom get fish and sometimes not enough vegetables. Is milk good for me? I notice I get very hungry in afternoon when I don't have a glass of milk at lunch.
   When it is the thought necessary, will it be allright to use any of the suggestions, for instance, the Rochelle salts, cream tartar, etc when feel the need.
   I used the potato poultice on eyes and it seems to me it was beneficial. I wasn't quite sure about using it without the Double Eye applicator.
