TEXT

1. GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly and tell me the conditions you find at the present time. You will diagnose the case thoroughly, giving the cause of the existing conditions, also the treatment for the cure and relief of this body.
2. EC: Now, we find the conditions very much different for the body at the present from that as we have had before, yet the causes, or the physical conditions which produce the condition in body at present, causing the distresses to the system, are of the nature as we have had here before. Though the change in the constitution and in the resistive abilities of the body we find very much different, and the conditions as producing same of climatic and of water conditions more than of diet, as has been before, as was producing same before, now brings more distressing conditions to the system. Hence the lacerations, the condition as is produced in the swelling and inflammation shown in mesenteric system, and the effect of same as is produced in the whole body, alimentary canal specifically, inflammation through intestines. These, we see, are now in a very precarious condition. This may be assisted and helped.
3. We would, for these conditions at present, bathe the body often, or in portions of the body, with rub alcohol, to reduce temperature, adding to same soon after those properties of olive oils rubbed well into the system, especially over the groin and along the spine in lumbar and in lower dorsal region, giving internally small doses limewater and of cinnamon water, equal parts, to settle the stomach, reduce irritation. Also giving these properties as medicinal properties, in small quantity, until the system can retain same sufficient to be of assistance to the body.
4. Then, in Peptotol, 4 ounces, put:

   20% solution Yellow Saffron Tea.......2 ounces,
Senna.................................4 grains,
Licorice Compound.....................5 grains.

   Shaking solution well together, then give in small quantities until the system is able to retain same, using ice packs on head, neck, to reduce temperature in the body.
5. Let the diet be those of arrow root, junket, and of such natures, that are easily assimilated in system.
6. Well that enemas be given at times to reduce temperature. Also which may be followed with egg enema, for the building up and resistive forces in intestinal trouble, and as food for system. These will be better taken in this manner than through system, until we can assist the body to gain equilibrium.
7. All water as is drunk shall have particles of elm, and Yellow Saffron Tea may occasionally be given. Not too much of stimulants in any nature, save that as necessary to keep heart's action normal.
8. Do that.

REPORTS

1. 3/14/26 Husband [5771]'s letter: "...I will write you regarding another reading for Mrs. [5421] as she has been sick since last June and the doctors seem to have done all they can, but still she does not get well, so she asked me to write to you and see if you could not do something again for her, as you saved her life twice maybe you could again.
   "Now, when we got your reading in July [5421-3] she was at the point of death and I have made arrangements to move her to San Diego, California, to a cooler climate and in the hospital there your reading at that time did not seem to be in accordance with her troubles, as her stomach seems alright. The trouble started with a carbuncle on her left arm and I got a doctor and he cut in it with dirty instruments and got it infected. It seemed to be a sort of anthrax infection. The whole arm swelled and was one solid infection. I changed her doctor and they took her to the hospital and opened her arm and put in seven drains and then we took her to San Diego and there they gave her a treatment in the veins which seemed to kill the germs in the blood and then this poison seemed to gather in big pus for abscesses which she had, seven or eight. The arm healed up alright but is quite [swollen?] still. She seemed to be getting along alright so I brought her back here to ..., Arizona. It was not long till she began to have swollen places on her limbs and pained awfully bad, so we thought it a sort of rheumatism and I took her to a radium hot springs not far from here and gave her baths which brought out four more of these abscesses. Now she is in bed most of the time.
   "Now, Mr. Cayce, I have spent all I have got and still owe lots but if you can do her any good please do so and I will pay you as soon as I can. Hope to hear from you as soon as you can get a reading. Will close for this time. I remain your friend, [5771]..."
2. 3/22/26 EC gave the fourth reading - 5421-4.
