TEXT

1. GD: You will give the body a brief diagnosis of the physical conditions as they exist at present. In this reading, give the cause of the throat trouble and the cure and remedy, if any. How long will it be until a cure is effected? Also the skin condition as it now appears.
2. EC: Now, we find there are many abnormal conditions in this body, and many conditions in the functioning of organs in the system are affected by specific and local conditions. These have to do with the blood circulation and in the functioning of organs in portions of the body as affected by specific conditions.
3. Now, these are conditions as we find them in this body, [4695] we are speaking of, present in this room.
4. To give the cause and seat of the trouble as exists in the throat, and in the skin, we must give much of the pathological conditions of other portions of the body, if we would get that producing same. First:
5. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, we find this deficient in the rebuilding properties and an excess of the white blood supply, with a deficiency in the red blood, and that bacilli carried in the blood stream showing the cause, the character, of conditions as exist in the system, for the system attempts to create that necessary to war against the ravages of the sarcoma germs in the blood supply. In this we find this produces the condition in blood supply, the condition over the whole system, and especially that as causes the condition in the circulation through the capillaries, producing then the specific condition as found in the cuticle, for with the system attempting to eliminate, and so much of the leukocyte forces used in the destruction of the bacilli in blood supply, the capillary circulation becomes clogged and choked, and dross left without the elimination being properly cared for.
6. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, we find in this much of the condition of taxation, for with the vital forces in body being attacked by this bacilli, the nerve centers become depleted in their ability to function in the normal manner. Hence the tired debilitation at times that appears in the body, the feelings as if there is no use to fight against existing condition, lack of vital forces in nerve supply to meet the needs of the physical forces in the body.
7. IN THE ORGANS OF THE BODY, in brain forces body very good.
8. In the throat, lungs and larynx: In the portion of the throat at the base, or root, of tongue, we find this condition where cellular forces show the surrounding of those conditions producing the ravages in the system, first produced by too much of certain elements in the system as taken for cathartics, and with other stimulation produced the irritation that brought about the condition which separates itself, and became the germ forces as created in the system itself.
9. In the lungs, larynx and bronchials, these are very good, when we consider the condition existing in these portions of the body that function through the circulation as is passed in portions of the body thus affected.
10. In digestive tract, this we find kept subnormal by conditions in the nerve system, yet the body in its mental forces assists much in keeping these conditions better balanced in the system.
11. In the functioning of other organs, we find those of the system that produce the change in circulation by the action of that organ's secretions, as we find in spleen, pancreas, liver and kidneys. All engorged to meet the needs of the system, a normal condition for existing conditions in the body.
12. These conditions may be assisted and the condition brought to that of little effect in system if cared for in proper manner. Then do this: We would take first in the system these properties:

    Tincture Wild Cherry Bark...............1/2 ounce,
Tincture Valdalia [Stillingia]..........1/2 ounce,
Tincture Yellow Dock Root...............1/2 ounce,
Tincture of Poke Root...................1/2 ounce,
Tincture of Burdock Root................1/2 ounce,
Iodide Potassium........................3/4 ounces.
Sufficient simple syrup to make...........6 ounces.
[See GD's note at end of Reading.]

    Shake solution well to-gether until all is dissolved.
13. The dose would be half a teaspoonful four times each day, letting one dose be just before retiring, and apply to the body through the solar plexus center, and at the second cervical, the plates or vibrations that will be found in the Abrahams Osculator [Abram's Oscillator] for sarcoma germ. This will, within three to five weeks, reduce the condition to that of almost nil. Then the general health afterwards must be kept.
14. We will find through these forces we will bring the better conditions for this body, [4695].
15. Do that.

   Columbus, Ohio
   Mr. Edgar Cayce, P.O. Box 463, Dayton, Ohio
   Dear Sir:
   After sending to you for a portion of Tincture of Valdalia [Stillingia], The Hatton Pharmacy, of this city was enabled to fill the prescription which you gave me and I started taking the medicine last saturday night.
   After a diligent search over the city, I have been unable to find the Abrahams Osculator for sarcoma germ which you refer to and will be pleased to have you advise me where I can get this device and also how to use it.
   Thanking you in advance for your prompt reply, I remain,
   Yours very truly, [4695]

   P.O. Box 463, Dayton, Ohio
   Mr. [4695] Columbus, Ohio
   My dear Mr. [4695]
   Have yours of the 22nd. I'm glad to note that you have been able to get the medicinal properties to-gether and that you have started on that part of the treatment.
   On receipt of your letter this morning, I phoned Dr. H. E. Palmer [M.D.?], the man here who I knew used the Abrahams [Abrams?] treatments, and find that he is out of town and will not be back until the first. However, I will try again to get in touch with another gentleman here and if I can get any information from him will let you know. If I can't, you will write me about the first and I'll get in touch with Dr. Palmer.
   Trusting that this finds you on the improve, and with kindest personal regards, I am
   Sincerely, Edgar Cayce
   EC:GD
   P.S. Just had a telephone call from the Doctor here. He tells me there is no one in Columbus that gives the Abraham's [Abrams?] treatment at the present time but if you would visit him here he will arrange for you to take the treatment. This is Dr. A. L. McGowan [M.D.?], 1207 Lindsey Building, Telephone Main 5837.
   I think he can arrange for you to have one of the osculators, or vibrations, whatever they call them, to use at your home, or with you wherever you want to take it. I believe I would advise you to arrange to do this. Certainly hope to see you if you come to Dayton.

   Mr. Edgar Cayce, P.O. Box 463, Dayton, Ohio
   Dear Mr. Cayce:
   No doubt you will recall having sent The Hatton Pharmacy, of this city, a portion of TINCTURE OF VALDALIA [Stillingia?] in order to fill the prescription which you gave me for my throat difficulty.
   The first bottle or two effected a decided improvement in my speech, but subsequent bottles had little or no effect, therefore I am of the opinion that after the above ingredient was exhausted that they either used a substitute, or omitted it entirely.
   My suspicion is strengthened from the fact that the above druggist was inclined to ridicule such treatments and even went so far as to tell me that while it would do me no harm, it would not help or cure me.
   Of course, what he said does not shaken my confidence in you, but it does in Mr. Hatton.
   I have arranged with Mr. Park, of the Tobias Drug Co., 266 North High Street, to fill the prescriptions for me, and wish you would send them at once, at least 3 ounces of TINCTURE OF VALDALIA [Stillingia?].
   By referring to your files you will find that one half ounce is required in each six ounce bottle.
   Am interested in knowing how much of this drug Hatton ordered and if you care to tell me, I will keep it strictly confidential.
   Thanking you in advance for your prompt attention to this matter and with best wishes, I remain,
   Yours very truly, [4695]
6. 2/16/25 EC's ltr. to [4695]:
   Mr. [4695] Columbus, Ohio
   Dear Mr. [4695]
   Glad to have yours of the 14th. Sorry to note that you've had some trouble with getting your prescription prepared. If I remember correctly, the first quantity sent was one ounce. I am today ordering two ounces sent the Tobias Drug Company. I'm certainly in hopes you will find the same results from the proper preparation of this prescription as you did at first.
   I'm wondering if you have been able to get the vibrations as suggested in your reading. Perhaps it would be well sometime in the very near future for you to have a check reading on the first one given and see just what the trouble has been, or what is necessary for conditions at the present time.
   Thanking you for your letter, and trusting that we may be of further service, I am, with all good wishes,
   Yours very truly, Edgar Cayce

   Mr. [4695] Columbus, Ohio
   Dear Mr. [4695]
   In regards the properties that were sent you some days ago by the druggist here, or at least sent to the Tobias Drug Company, I am sure that you have received same before this. I find that they made the charge for same to me here. Therefore, I'm enclosing you the bill.
   Trusting that you will let me hear from you occasionally, and with kindest personal regards,
   Sincerely, Edgar Cayce

   Mr. Edgar Cayce 322 Grafton Ave., Dayton, Ohio
   Dear Mr. Cayce:
   Your favors of Feb., 16th, and 19th, were duly received, but withheld reply until arrival of the medicine.
   For some reason it has not arrived. Have called almost daily at The Tobias Drug Co., 266 N. High Street, but they inform me that they have not received it. It was to have been sent in care of Mr. Park, head of the prescription department for the above firm and will greatly appreciate it if you will check up and see if it was sent out and upon receipt will remit to you.
   In regard to another reading, I have not been taking the treatment for some time and am wondering if it would not be better to wait until I resume treatment before taking another reading.
   You of course are better able to determine this point and will be glad to have your views.
   Thanking you for the interest taken and with kind personal regards, I remain,
   Yours very truly, [4695]
9. 3/09/25 EC's ltr. to [4695]:
   322 Grafton Avenue, Dayton, Ohio
   Mr. [4695] Columbus, Ohio
   My dear Mr. [4695]
   On receipt of yours of the 22nd, I immediately phoned Griffiths Drug Company, the people who were to send this, and they informed me that they had shipped it on time. Also told me that they were sending in that mail another half quantity, or one ounce, and would then trace the rest and find what was the trouble. I'm certainly in hopes that they have received it before this and that you're getting some results from this compound. I assure you of my interest and I'm certainly in hopes that you will let me hear from you from time to time, and any time that you would like to have another reading on your condition, be glad to fix it up for you.
   With kindest personal regards, I am
   Sincerely, Edgar Cayce

10. 3/10/25 [4695]'s ltr. to EC:
    Mr. Edgar Cayce, 322 Grafton Ave., Dayton, Ohio Dear Mr. Cayce:
    Answering your favor of the 9th, The Tobias Drug Co. received the drug some time ago, but as it was labeled Ext. of Stillingia and they were advised by me that it would be labeled Tincture of Valdalia, I was advised each time I called that it had not arrived.
    The above firm also informed me that it was sent C.O.D. and Griffiths Pharmacy memorandum states that they received payment.
    If you paid Griffith for the drug kindly advise and I will immediately remit to you.
    The second shipment of 1 ounce referred to in your letter of the 9th has not arrived and upon receipt will advise you.
    Expect to get the prescription filled today and will advise you of results a little later on.
    As for another reading will try to arrange for one soon as I have time to come to Dayton.
    Thanking you for the interest taken and with kind personal regards, I remain,
    Yours very truly, [4695]
11. 3/11/25 EC's ltr. to [4695]:
    322 Grafton Avenue, Dayton, Ohio
    Mr. [4695] Columbus, Ohio
    Dear Mr. [4695]
    Replying to yours of the 20th, I'm glad to know that you finally received the medicine as was sent by the Griffith Drug Company, and as you see from the memorandum sent you this was paid for here. I will take the matter up with these people and get this straightened out. I'm certainly sorry of this delay and the trouble and inconvenience caused, but assure its the first time we've ever had any trouble of this kind.
    I'm very much in hopes that you're receiving good results from this. Be sure and let us hear from you from time to time.
    With kindest personal regards, Sincerely, Edgar Cayce

12. 3/14/25 EC's ltr. to [4695]:
    Mr. [4695] Columbus, Ohio
    Dear Mr. [4695]
    We have just taken the matter up with the Griffith Drug Company regarding the shipment to the Tobias Drug Company a few days ago. Mr. Griffith says he did not send this C.O.D. Will you please have the Tobias Drug Company to give you their receipt from the express company, or parcel post, and send same to me, that I may take it up with Mr. Griffith.
    I'm sorry of the inconvenience and annoyance this has caused, and trusting we may be able to get this straightened out, and that you will receive the results from your treatment, I am
    Yours very truly, Edgar Cayce
