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 - it's a new vibration.
3. Yes - ready for questions.
4. (Q) Why the Catarrhal condition and how to overcome it?
   (A) This has been a result of getting chilled and becoming - in same - affected by the poisons or toxins of the body. This has been long standing.
   The better manner to overcome same will be through the relaxing of the body thoroughly with hot Epsom Salts Baths; then taking just after same, the Electro-Therapy - this preferably applied through the hands of one giving a massage to the face, neck, muscles of the spine along either side of the spine and across the abdominal area. These combined will aid very much in correcting this. Take these about ten days apart until three are taken. Then leave off for a period of some four weeks, and then have another series of three; and we should find considerable change - provided, of course, the body building forces are kept; that is, excesses of vitamins A, D and B-1 complex.
   For the Epsom Salts Baths use about twenty pounds to forty gallons of water, as hot as the body can well stand, and the body should be massaged while in such a Bath - sitting in this for at least twenty to thirty minutes.
5. (Q) How to treat the leg and wrist which were broken in an accident and which - have apparently some Arthritis set in.
   (A) These will be helped also by the stimulating of better eliminations in the manner here indicated. When the massages are given following the Epsom Bath (and the limbs should also be massaged), use a combination of oils for the body. Use such as these, put together in the order named:

   Russian White Oil or Nujol.............2 ounces,
Oil of Pine Needles....................1 ounce,
Oil of Sassafras Root................1/2 ounce,
Oil of Peanuts.........................1 ounce,
Olive Oil............................1/2 ounce.

   Shake these together when they are to be used for they will tend to separate. Then massage thoroughly the limbs with this, especially the soles of the feet and along the back of the knees and over the muscular forces in all portions of the limbs.
6. (Q) What is the source of infection causing kidney infection?
   (A) This is of a general condition, and there should be those applications indicated. We will find at times there will tend to be some irritation to the kidneys. Apply then an alkaline pack, either of Glyco-Thymoline or Lavoris, over the kidney area, also over the pubic center, as to relieve the strain or burning through the bladder area. This would be done separately, of course, or on days when the Baths or Rubs are not given.
7. (Q) What can be done for Cystocele rupture of the bladder - three operations - poor surgery, have failed to correct.
   (A) Just as given, the massages, the baths, the rubs and the Electro-Therapy will be help for this part of the body.
8. (Q) Can the mind be properly polarized again which has been upset through shock? Please give detailed instructions.
   (A) This may be polarized by the suggestions from the one giving the massages and rubs to correct the body forces, through the correcting of those portions disturbed, see?
9. We are through with this reading.

BACKGROUND

1. 4/27/43 [3263]'s ltr. to EC:
   ..., Oregon
   Mr. Edgar Cayce, Virginia Beach, Va.
   Dear Mr. Cayce:
   May I have a reading and diagnosis with treatments? I am writing asking this without sending for your application blank for Membership first - as this is urgent - I am at the present time running a high count of Kidney infection.
   The Dr. tells me when one has as much as five? I do not remember the term - but should do something about it - Laboratory test shows I am running fifty.
   Getting so I have cramps in the feet and legs. Charley Horse.
   Sept. 7, 1941 I was critically injured in a head-on Auto Accident in which I sustained a compound fracture of the left leg below the knee a badly broken and dislocated right wrist - ribs below the Sternum broken and from the Sternum to shoulder all are shoved up and out toward the arm. Face went through the windshield with cuts and bruises teeth broken - etc. Arthritis set in almost at once.
   Just as soon as I was able to walk up the stairs on crutches I started taking Swedish Massage treatments and can now walk without a limp and use my hand quite well.
   Rebuilt my body through diet until I weighed 145 prior to this kidney disturbance - since which I have lost weight.
   Born August 6, 1881. Widow and live alone. I am enclosing $5.00 as a down fee or if you will accept a Free Will Offering as a gift to the work you are doing.
   Thanking you, I am
   Sincerely yours, Mrs. [3263]
