1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time with suggestions for further corrective measures, answering the questions, as I ask them:

2. EC: Yes, we have the body here: Edgar Cayce; this we have had before.

3. As we find, there are many changes in the general physical forces of the body. Not all of these are for helpful influences. For, since the experience with the near-pneumonia, the lobe of the left lung, especially in the tracheal vein to the thrombose area, to the shoulder and the arm, shows a great deal of inflammation and thus the continued course of reactions when there are those paroxysms of coughing and still a good deal of phlegm indicated.

4. While these are not infections, unless there is sufficient heat produced there and unless the dissipation of the inflammation through the adhesions there may be strong enough, lesions may be built such as to cause a thrombose heart disorder. For this is considerably engorged, from the activity there, and with the weakness which has ever been indicated in the gall duct and the liver, these in sympathy form a great deal of disturbance as to assimilation or as to the digestive foods or flows.

5. Here we would find that there should be added, either in one form or another, sufficient of the lactic fluids which would produce better assimilation, and thus we would change the whole condition through alimentary canal and thus alleviate the body-forces from those necessities for those forms of the eliminating fluid which are gradually causing a weakness of the peristaltic movement throughout the alimentary canal, and especially through the lower right portion of the colon, or that in the caecum area. These, of course, depend upon those conditions there but the greater trouble to be worked with or to be aware of is that coming from those conditions in the left area of the trachea from circulation. There is no infection, as indicated, of

294-209 Page 2

tubercular inflammation but the adhesions, and these were produced by the after-effect of the sulpha drug. While this, to be sure, destroyed those inflammations of the natures in the lobe of the lung itself, yet it is like saying the operation is successful but the patient died; so it is successful in eliminating the character of inflammation or the bug which was infectious, but the adhesion in same is causing the greater trouble.

6. In relieving same, we would find it would be necessary that there be, besides that for the general system, the digestive foods, digestive fluids.

7. Taking of the Essence of Lactated Pepsin following each meal will be beneficial.

8. Chloride of Gold taken internally, a few drops, (two drops) every other day will be most beneficial in producing the character of acid necessary for stimuli to the energies of the nerve forces of the body.

9. A great deal of heat is needed, a great deal of rest through the lung, with plenty of open air.

10. Balsam would be well to be taken, as the combination with Horehound, Balsam of Tolu and the Syrup of Rhubarb. These combined together in formations as an active force, with the exercise and massage breaking same up, with the radio-short-wave then eliminating same, may eliminate this from the body. We would do that.

11. In the preparation of the compound we would put first: Syrup of Horehound..........1/2 oz., Syrup of Rhubarb............1/4 oz., Apple Brandy which has been set with compound Simple Syrup......3 oz. Put these together. A dose would be a teaspoonful morning and evening.

12. Then the short-wave would be given at least once or twice a week.

13. The massage for the breaking up of this through the shoulder, left side, arm, neck and the brachial center would be given at least twice each week. Do that.

14. The diet: Keep the better assimilations, those foods which are not too much acid-forming. And keep away from too much of mineral salts, use oil in the place of same, or Nujol, Usoline or such.

15. Do have the acids from the Gold as indicated.

16. Ready for questions.

17. (Q) How should the gold be prepared? (A) One grain to one ounce of distilled water, and take

about two drops about once every other day.

18. (Q) Would the contemplated trip to Florida be advisable at this time? (A) This, if desired would be very well, if there is plenty of rest taken and not too much in the open where cold or congestion would be contracted.
