To 1/2 gallon of distilled water, add:
Sarsaparilla Root...................2 ounces,
Dogwood Bark........................2 ounces,
Mandrake Root.......................1 dram,
Buchu leaves......................1/2 ounce,
Elder flower........................2 ounces.
Reduce this by slow boiling or simmering to 1 quart. Strain,
and while warm add 2 ounces of grain alcohol, in which 3
drams Balsam of Tolu is cut adding with same 3 minims of
Tincture of Capsici.
Shake the solution before the dosage is taken, which should
be teaspoonful 4 times each day.
Keep the intestinal tract OPEN, using enemas for the
evacuation of the colon; using those salves of TIM for the
condition as exists in the rectum.
Use for the diet, those of no meats - whole wheat bread only
- little of the foods that grow under ground in vegetable
nature - rather those that are of the easier digestion,
sufficient to carry weight, but principally those that will
be ALKALIN PRODUCING in the system.
When the whole of this quantity is taken, we would then give
that necessary for the further correction of those conditions
existent with this body. We are through for the present.

BACKGROUND
6/17/29 Requested a Physical Reading, via Mrs. [
5670].
7/09/29 Letter: "...The questions I want to know are: What
is wrong with my leg, and what gives me a heartburn after I
eat sometimes, and also what I can eat for my diet, and what
these pains are that I get around my heart? Also my other
leg hurts me now, why do my legs and feet swell?"
REPORTS
9/23/29 Mrs. [
5670]'s letter: "...I am writing you for
Mrs. [
5657]. I wanted them [the family] to write you but
they don't seem to understand. They are Italian. Now the
interest I have in them is that Doctor [
5656], my husband,
was the doctor for their children and they seem to think I
can tell you better than they can. Mrs. [
5657] sleeps
better, in fact good, but when she gets up to walk she has so
much pain in feet and legs. She has taken over half of her
medicine and says she is very strict about her diet but wants
to know what to do about her feet and legs..."
9/30/29 EC wrote Mrs. [
5670] making an appointment for a
second Physical Reading, for Mrs. [
5657].
10/23/29 Mrs. [
5670]'s letter: "...I am sorry to bother you
again but Mrs. [
5657]'s daughter was here last evening and
says her mother is not improving any as they can see, only
she sleeps better. She has taken her medicine and will only
have enough to last until the middle of next week. She diets
but everything she puts in her stomach gives her heartburn.
She doesn't take anything for her bowels but everything acts
as a physic. She drinks milk but that acts on the bowels and
when she gets up on her feet she has terrible pains in the
feet and hips. I really believe Occy-Crystine, Radio-Active
Appliance and osteopathic treatments would do her a world
of good [as given in my own reading] but of course I did
not tell them so. They have the money and are able to do
whatever is for the best..."
10/10/29 EC wrote Mrs. [
5670] asking if Mrs. [
5657] could
come to the Cayce Hospital for treatment.
10/21/29 Mrs. [
5670]'s letter: "...In regard to Mrs. [
5657]
I know they are amply able for her to go to your hospital,
but I am afraid she will not come there. I know she would
not go alone and she does not speak our language at all. So
you see it would be hard for her to get along..."
10/28/29 EC gave the second reading for her. See
5657-2.
