TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here - this we have had before. Now, as we find, the conditions are on the improve. If the precautions are taken that will prevent any spread of the inflammation to the glands, that will keep down inroads of those germs that make destruction of tissue in the mammary glands and the regions about same, the condition should be protected in such a manner as to not only be dried up but so guard the rest of the system as to prevent any more inroads.
2. However, should inflammation arise - either by injury or by indiscretions in the activity or the diet we would operate immediately.
3. We would add at least one-half more of the ash to the Iodex solution that is massaged into the area about the breast, where the conditions are showing some inflammation. We would also increase the amount of the light treatment and take a whole quantity of ash in the capsule (that is, pour out the powder from the capsule) before the lights are given. Do not apply the light treatments direct to the inflamed area; rather to those portions of the cerebrospinal system from which the portion of the system receives its circulatory impulse, or over the upper dorsal and lower cervical area. Increase the period for ten to fifteen minutes each treatment.
4. In combining the ash with the Iodex salve, add three capsules of the ash to one-half ounce of the Iodex. Mix thoroughly together before it is applied. Keep the breast covered well with the fur, as given, that there is no irritation.
5. Beware of taking fats or greases in any form with the diet; rather those foods that are well cooked, and all meats should be rather cooked in just a little salt water than with any other seasoning.
6. Ready for questions.
7. (Q) Should the Dr. Hinkle pills be taken for the constipation, or what would you advise?
   (A) Any of the cathartics that are reactive to the system will be well. As we find, this prescription would be preferable, with the conditions that exist - this would be one dose, and several of the capsules may be prepared:

   Podophyllum.....................1/4 grain,
Leptandrin......................1/2 grain,
Sanguinaria.....................1/4 grain,
Cascara Sagrada.................1/4 grain,
Senna...........................1/4 grain.

   This should be thoroughly mixed, and may be given in capsule. It will not be found necessary to use this more than every other day, or every third day.
8. We are through with this reading.

REPORTS

1. 9/13/32 EC's ltr. to [4438]'s husband:
   My dear Mr. [...]
   Replying to yours of a few days ago, I felt it necessary to see what information could be obtained regarding Mrs. [4438]'s condition. Enclosed you will find the suggestions for further corrective measures. The amount of ash in the Iodex solution is to be increased. Also the light treatments are to be increased, but be sure to apply these treatments to the radial plexus area as suggested, rather than direct to the condition itself.
   I certainly hope this will continue to be on the improve. Please let us hear from her every few days, and know that if we can possibly be of service it is our desire to do so.
   Sincerely, Edgar Cayce ec:gd
2. 9/14/32 Mr. [...]'s ltr. to EC:
   ..., Texas
   Mr. Edgar Cayce; Virginia Beach, Virginia
   Dear Mr. Cayce;
   Enclosed please find money order for Ten dollars which I owe you as the balance of my membership.
   I hope that you received my letter stating the condition of my wife and the request for a check reading if you thought it necessary.
   Her condition is about the same as when I wrote you except the past few days she has been feeling very bad, her arm has been paining her quite a lot and she has a tired worn out feeling.
   Hoping that we will hear from you in the very near future.
   Very sincerely yours [...]
3. 9/27/32 EC's ltr. to Mr. [...]:
   My dear Mr. [...]
   Yours of the 14th was received, with enclosure, for which we thank you very much.
   You no doubt already have the information that was gotten and sent to you sometime ago, before we received your last letter. I will certainly be very anxious to know just how conditions progress, and trust that you will see a decided improvement soon, so that it won't be necessary for the operation; however, should the condition continue, I certainly would not hesitate; for you know that if you wait too long it becomes very bad.
   Hoping you will let us hear from you from time to time, assuring you of our interest and desire to be of service, I am
   Ever the same, Edgar Cayce EC:GD
4. 9/28/32 Mr. [...]'s ltr. to EC:
   ..., Texas
   Mr. Edgar Cayce; Virginia Beach, Virginia
   Dear Mr. Cayce;
   I am writing you today in request for another reading as my wife is having quite alot of trouble with her arm, what the trouble is we don't know. There is a large lump under the arm that is under the shoulder joint this lump has been there ever since she has had this breast trouble but it was not very large and I did not say anything about it when I wrote you for the first reading thinking that if it had required any attention that you would have said so in your reading. But it is now two or three times as large as it was then we think that it may have something to do with her present, condition, as at times her arm does not bother her at all and at other times she can hardly use it at all. I mean by this that when she raises her arm up or back she has terrible pain and arm aches.
   To us the breast seems to be improving as the drainage has slowed up at times more than others, and the bad odor almost gone, also the slufing stopped.
   The general size of the breast is smaller but quite a bit harder.
   At the present time she has a bad cold.
   Below is a list of questions we would like very much to have answered.
   (1) What is the cause of this arm trouble and what can be done for it. (2) Is the general condition of the breast improving as it should. (3) Are we getting proper results from the violet ray lamp. If not is one at the local hospital here O.K. (4) Is she getting everything necessary in her diet.
   She has been following very rigidly the diet and treatment as you gave.
   I do not like to have to ask you for the reading so often but feel that it is best to check closely on a case of this kind, I am enclosing $5.00 to help in this work, also 15 cents for postage as I want you to send the reading to me by air mail as we want to get it as quick as possible as it takes so long to get a reply otherwise. The family joins me in sending thanks and best wishes.
   Sincerely yours, [...]
