Would we bring about, then, the better conditions for this
body, we would leave off all those conditions or properties
that have been, or are being, taken for the ease or relief
for the body, and begin with that which will bring about
a different condition within the nerve system and to the
functioning organs of the body. First we would prepare and
take as this: To one-half (1/2) gallon of distilled water,
add:
Wild Cherry Bark............................6 ounces.
Reduce this by simmering (not boiling) to one-half (1/2) the
quantity - one (1) quart. Strain. Then add to this four (4)
ounces of beet sugar, dissolved in two (2) ounces hot water.
Then reduce by slow simmering to one (1) quart again, see?
Then we would add:
Compound Syrup of Sarsaparilla............1/2 ounce,
Tincture of Stillingia....................1/4 ounce,
Essence of Poke Root.......................10 minims,
Essence or Tincture of Yellow Dock Root....20 minims,
Elixir Calisaya...........................1/2 ounce,
10% Solution Iodide Potassium.............1/4 ounce,
10% Solution Bromide Potassium............1/2 ounce,
Tincture of Capsici.........................2 minims,
Oil of Sassafras...........................30 minims.
Shake the solution well together before each dose is taken.
The dose should be half teaspoonful five (5) times each day,
taken before meals and before retiring, and once during the
night, see? (for the body wakes enough - often enough - in
the night to take this without trouble) which will come about
- between twelve and one (12 and 1) each evening.
When half the quantity has been taken - NOT BEFORE
- not afterward - begin with the deep manipulation,
osteopathically, to make those corrections of the lesions and
adhesions which show in the pelvic and in the lower dorsal
and whole lumbar region. At least thirteen (13) deep
adjustments will be necessary.
Provided the correct diet is assumed while these are being
taken, we find no reason for local treatments, yet - unless
the system responds - these may become necessary.
The diet would be as much as two (2) green vegetables at
least twice each day, alternating these from day to day.
No meats of any character, though soups may be taken
occasionally. No stimuli, either coffee or tea, or any other
of such properties. Milk or ovine [Ovaltine?] may be taken.
Ovine [Ovaltine?] may be taken of morning and milk taken the
other two meals. This may be alternated with sweet milk and
buttermilk if the body so desires. With the buttermilk let
there be a little pinch of salt in each glass taken. Do not
use the milk that too much of the cream has been separated
from - the casein will be necessary in the system.
Do these, as we have given, and we will find we will bring
better conditions for this body, [
4268].
We are through for the present.

Mr. Edgar Cayce
Please find enclosed $3.00 for which I am sending you for
a reading of my health. If I am benefited I am sure I will
send you more money later as I have so much money with home
doctors but am gradually growing worse. I will sure do as
you tell me to.

(You will please state in the space below how near, in
your opinion, reading fits your condition, as you know it
yourself, and if you expect to carry out the suggestions
made for the improvement of your health.)
I believe your reading comes near telling me what my trouble
is than any doctor I have ever had treat me. I have doctored
all my life without any results so I certainly am going to
try your advice hoping to be better soon.
Sincerely, [

Dear Mr. Edw. Cayce.
Am writing you a few lines. There are some things in your
Reading I didn't quite understand so will you please explain
it to me as you will see my education is very poor & I didn't
quite understand one paragraph, so I will write the one I
didn't understand. Where you said when half the quantity has
been taken, not before, not afterward, begin with the deep
manipulations osteopathically, to make these corrections of
the lesions and adhesions which show in the pelvic and in
the lower dorsal and whole lumbar region at least 13 deep
adjustments will be necessary. Now this is what I didn't
quite understand.
Now does the word adjustment mean I will have to take
osteopath treatments from an osteopath doctor or is it some
exercise I can take myself. Please let me know. Very sorry
I didn't understand but I didn't know what else to do but
write you. So thanking you many times. You will hear from
me from time to time to let you know how I am getting and
will surely send you more money when I begin to see a change
in my health. Again thanking you many times, Mrs. [
4268]
5/27/27 EC's letter to [

Mrs. [

Dear Mrs. [
4268] -
Replying to yours of the 18th, the manipulations should be
given by an osteopath, for this is necessary - that you have
these adjustments and manipulations made correctly. What it
meant by saying after half the quantity had been taken, begin
with threse adjustments and manipulations, is that when you
have taken half of the quantity, your system will be prepared
for the adjustments to be made. It wouldn't be prepared
before, and it wouldn't be as effective if you waited until
some time after half the quantity had been taken - but these
should be made by an osteopath.
I am sure, if you carry out the suggestions, you will receive
benefits from the treatments.
We shall certainly appreciate your letting us hear from you
from time to time.
Sincerely, Edgar Cayce EC:GD

Dear Sir
While looking over some old papers discovered some old
readings of yours. Would like to know if you are still
in business. I am enclosing a stamped envelope to you
for return mail.
As ever
Thanking you Mrs. [

Dear Mrs. [
4268] -
Thank you for enquiry of Dec. 17th.
Edgar Cayce died in January 1945. A study of the remarkable
records which he left is going on under our Association.
We are mailing you sample copies of THE SEARCHLIGHT and
our publication list.
At the present time we are not recommending anyone who
can give readings similar to those given by Edgar Cayce.
However, you may find material of value through our
abstracting and extracting services. (See membership blank.)
I hope that we may be of service.
Sincerely yours, HLC:bjb
