Time of Reading 3:50 to 4:05 P. M. Eastern War Time. ..., Maryland.
1. GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find at the present time; giving the cause of the existing conditions, also suggestions for help and relief of this body; answering the questions, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, called [4012].
3. As we find there are disturbing conditions which prevent the normal physical functioning of the body. These are very definite as to their sources and causes. There has been intemperance in the use of those things for body-functioning or body-building. This has caused first a rebellion in the assimilating system and then those conditions in the gall duct area, and the incoordination of the circulation between liver and kidneys.
4. There are congestions then in the area of the gall duct and the activity of the liver. This causes inability of proper assimilation of foods because of the inactivity of the gastric flows through the duodenum, the jejunum, the gall duct, the liver and the spleen with those activities in the areas; causing a swelling or flatulence for the body when foods, especially any fats or starches are taken in the body. These also cause the liver spots or blemishes indicated on portions of the body, especially on exposed areas where the air pressure is indicated; as face, neck, hands, arms and lower limbs.
5. These as we find may be eliminated either through operative measures or a longer and safer period of using these applications:
6. Begin with hot Castor Oil Packs over the whole liver and caecum area, or extending from the lower portion of the rib on the right side to the lower caecum and extending half way across the abdomen. Use three to four thicknesses of flannel, old flannel preferably, thoroughly saturated with Castor Oil. Apply directly to the body, warm, covering with an oil cloth to prevent soiling the linens, and then an

electric pad. Keep these on for an hour and a half each day for five days in succession.
7. After the third day begin taking internally small quantities of Olive Oil every two or three hours. To be sure do not disturb the body at night to give same, but do take during the waking state half to a teaspoonful every three hours, until there is a full evacuation through the alimentary canal.
8. Rest then, from these applications for a period of three days and then repeat.
9. After the second series have two colonic irrigations to cleanse the colon. These should be several days apart, but cleanse the colon of all fecal matter and especially of the mucous that will be in portions of same.
10. Rest then a week and repeat the whole procedure.
11. Then, not before, begin osteopathic adjustments and empty the gall bladder. It will require some five to six treatments to prepare the body before the gall duct is emptied osteopathically. Such a one as Smith we would indicate to do this correcting.
12. Do these and we will gain better equilibrium and bring better conditions for the body, eliminating the sources of these disturbances.
13. Ready for questions.
14. (Q) Has this been the cause of my skin taking on the brownish tinge? (A) Just as indicated. This is especially noticeable on the exposed portions to air - or on face, hands and limbs.
15. (Q) What should be done to correct bleeding and sore gums? (A) The treatment indicated will aid a great deal, but for the specific condition we would use Ipsab. Massage the gums with this, using a small tuft of cotton or just the finger - inside and out. Then rinse the mouth. Do this in the beginning about once a day for three to four days, or do it each day until the body has been purified especially through the oil packs, the Olive Oil and the colonics. Then it may be used about once a week.
16. (Q) [By GC] Is the bottle of Ipsab I hold in my hand prepared correctly? [7/22/77 GD's note: Par. 16-A re Ipsab was left out of the original sent to Miss [4012] because the question was not submitted by her but by Mr. A. M. Godfrey who had just made a new batch of the Ipsab based on formula given him 2/14/42 in 1800-34. He had left a sample with Mrs. Cayce so that she could ask about it in the next Reading that recommended Ipsab, which happened to be 4012-1.] (A) It will do for this job!
17. (Q) Do I need a tonic?
4012-1 Page 3
(A) Not until the body is cleansed. After the body has been cleansed we would use a tonic in the form of the combination of vitamins that may supplement the diet. Those combining the vitamins and minerals would be preferable, such as Pearl vitamins or the combination of the B-1 complex, or Miles Laboratories combination of vitamins.
18. We are through with this reading. Two copies to Self (one for osteopath when you are ready to begin these treatments - We would refer you to Dr. Emil Smith, 322 N. Charles St., Baltimore, Md.) Copy to Ass'n file " under Case number for indexing (3/21/44 GD's note: See directions [which were enclosed] for preparing Castor Oil Packs.)
