1. EC: Now, we have those conditions as regarding the proposition of exploiting properties as would be given as a specific for physical conditions that are detrimental to the health of the human family. These specifics given through the psychic forces, as manifested in the body Edgar Cayce, the proposition of exploiting same considered by Morton Blumenthal and David Blumenthal, these conditions we find:
2. Were these handled in the proper channels, there is the good to be obtained for the human family, and the expending of monies, expending of self, expending of all endeavors to be of assistance to others, when there is not excess of any nature, when there is only the good being attempted to be given, the returns in the monetary way are only the just desserts to such explorations.
3. As to how these properties are to be made, namely, that under consideration: Well that these be manufactured under the supervision of someone directly interested in the manifestations of such phenomena [Edgar Cayce?].
4. As to how this pyorrhea, or Gum-ese, would be prepared: [It was later [from 1925 on] referred to as Ipsab*.]
* [10/17/72 GD's note: An article on Ipsab appearing in 11/72 issue of The A.R.E. Journal by Tom Johnson and Carol A. Baraff states "It is not known where the name originated." This reminds me to make this notation: The name was suggested by Gertrude Cayce, combining the first letters of the main ingredients: iodine, prickly ash bark [or peppermint], salt. Soon the readings started using the name.]
5. To six ounces toothache bark, or Prickly Ash Bark, add 16 ounces rain, or snow, water.
6. Reduce by simmering (not boiling too severely) to one-half the quantity. Then add iodized, or salt treated with iodine, to the amount of 8 ounces; this stirred well in while the solution is very warm, adding at the same time to

these properties 2 minims of Oil of Peppermint.
7. Use or place in container wherein the solution may be used by rubbing on gum with the finger, and the mouth rinsed with plain water after rubbing for two to three minutes. This solution should be used where pyorrhea has begun at least twice each week, until the gums and soreness is relieved. Then once each month. Should solution become hard from exposure, and from evaporation, add small quantity of water and the solution will be ready for use. Best that these properties, then, be put in small containers.
8. We are through.
