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, [3278].
3. As we find, while there is life there is hope; yet from all the material standards little may be promised in the recuperations from those inflictions that are existent. Yet there is power within, and this is the source from which all help must come.
4. To be sure there are those helps that may be given. That these conditions can or will respond will and should depend upon the will of the body and of Creative Forces.
5. Do each day use the low Wet Cell Appliance. This may appear to others as being useless, but this low vibration is the basis or the source, or materialization, of life forces that may be builded in a body.
6. With the use of these, unless sepsis sets in, it will eventually give strength to the body forces and replenish nerve forces that are disassociated in the central system. So, there must be the enlivening of the sympathetic system, to bring back the abilities of the body - if it be His will, which should be the prayer of everyone.
7. Use the Appliances in this manner:
8. Put the larger plate, through which the Gold Solution passes vibratorially (in the proportions of one grain Chloride of Gold Sodium to one ounce of distilled water), over the umbilical and lacteal duct center. The smaller plate would be attached at the 3rd cervical. Make these attachments each day for thirty minutes.
9. The strength of the charging solution would be:

   Copper Sulphate..........1 1/2 pounds,
Sulfuric Acid................1 ounce,
Zinc.........................3 drams,
Willow Charcoal............1/2 pound.

10. Use this the same time each day.
11. Follow this application with an oil rub over the whole body, using this combination of oils.

    Olive Oil....................2 ounces,
Peanut Oil...................2 ounces,
Lanolin (liquified)..........1 teaspoonful.

12. These as we find offer the channels through which the greater help may come.
13. Do that - but, most of all, let those about the body be patient, be consistent, be persistent. Let the prayer ever be:
    THY WILL BE DONE IN AND THROUGH ME DAILY.
14. Ready for questions.
15. (Q) What should be done for the drawing of her legs?
    (A) This is what we are giving.
16. (Q) What will stimulate her appetite?
    (A) What we are giving.
17. (Q) Can anything be done to prevent the bed sores?
    (A) These naturally may come, if there is not too much deterioration - use Ichthyol Ointment, as well as the rubs indicated. These will make life or circulation and thus prevent deterioration.
18. (Q) Any particular foods the body should have?
    (A) Just keep a body building diet, never anything too hard to digest.
    Do this - we may bring some help for this body.
19. We are through for the present.

BACKGROUND

1. 10/10/43 Comments and questions by father when he came to be present for the reading:
   Accident April 17, 1943 - bullet went through shoulder from front, clipped right lung, cut artery in two, crossed to the other side, clipped the spinal cord and was laying on the 3rd vertebra in the neck - back of neck - had this vertebra removed about four weeks ago. Doctors say if she recovers, or is ever able to walk, it will be the first in medical records. In no great pain, but suffers at times.
   Dr. Coleman - one of ten greatest neurologists, says there is no hope of her ever walking.
   1. What should be done for the drawing of her legs? 2. What will stimulate her appetite? 3. Can anything be done to prevent the bed sores?

REPORTS

1. 10/15/43 Father's letter:
   Dear Mr. Cayce:
   Since leaving you last Sunday, [3278] remains approximately the same. However, her appetite for the past forty eight hours has been some better.
   I notice in your reading the word "sepsis". Is it possible that anything or any part of the treatment as called for in the reading will have any effect or cause any origin of blood poisoning? I don't think there could possibly be any development of it from anything that has been done previously. So just as a matter of satisfying our minds I would appreciate hearing from you in regard to this.
   I have not received the Wet Cell Appliance but had a note from Mr. Godfrey stating that he was shipping same.
   Thanking you again for all favors, I am
2. 10/20/43 EC's letter to [3278]'s Father:
   Dear Mr. [...]
   Replying to yours of the 15th, I am glad that you wrote me and I am sure you must have the appliance long before this, as Mr. Godfrey told me that he expressed it to you the Monday following the Sunday you were here. There is certainly nothing in this to cause sepsis poison to set in. I do hope that with the use of the suggestions made, you will see some improvement. It may be long and difficult, but if you keep the spirit up, I am sure you will see results.
   Thanking you, I am,
   Sincerely, Edgar Cayce
