[Edgar Cayce; Gertrude Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno.]

Time of Reading 11:15 to 11:20 A. M. Eastern War Time. …, Tenn.

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

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

3. As we find, conditions are rather serious in the present. The cold and congestion, combined with the fracture, has produced a stoppage in that side of the lung. [Pneumonia?]

4. Then, we find, should be done in the immediate:

5. Prepare an onion poultice. This should be full, but cut onions, heat them, mix then with a little meal - yellow corn meal, preferably; and apply on gauze over the area where the injury is indicated from the fall. This should cover both front and back of this side, see?

6. When this has been on about an hour, change and apply another.

7. Then, when this is removed, apply the combinations in the mud, see? a jacket, as it were, with the Antiphlogistine good and thick upon either side, and especially along the area close to the spinal column, but should cover front and back.

8. Keep body quiet.

9. Only liquids, of course, should be taken in the present.

10. Do have each day, once or twice, a gentle massage to keep the body quiet.

11. Take internally the Syrup of Squill about twice or three times a day, - half a teaspoonful.

12. These should bring relief. These we would do for the present.

13. Ready for questions.

14. (Q) Is the present doctor alright to give the massages, or should I have an osteopath? [K. Elizabeth Cummings, D.C., Ph.T.?] (A) Be good, and be very good for the present; but we would have this massage about twice a day, until the body is much easier.

If the body does not respond, and the temperature continues, it will be necessary to use the sulfa drug; but do not use this - for this body - unless it is necessary, owing to the great pain.

15. (Q) Why am I losing weight in spite of good appetite? (A) This is not a great deal, but it is just overtaxation. First we need to remove these conditions; else there will not be the need for any other conditions - unless this may be checked.

Of course, as soon as it is practical, the body should be STRAPPED; but this should be done either by a good osteopath or a good doctor that understands the condition and the position of the structural portions of the body.

16. (Q) Any further advice? (A) Do these, and do these fast.

17. We are through with this Reading.

R2. 11/4/42 Dr. K. Elizabeth Cummings wrote: (11:15 A.M.) “I think you are a perfect marvel…[243] is so much better that I am enormously pleased.”

R3. 11/7/42 Mrs. [340] wired: “[243] still uncomfortable though improving. Is she ready for strapping?”

R5. 11/9/42 Sister, Mrs. [340], wrote: “Guess I don’t have to tell you that Sister [243] has been VERY sick. We have been so uneasy about her.

Shackleford [D.O.] strapped her yesterday - wanted her to come to office today for a treatment, but she isn’t well enough to go. However, she says she feels better this p.m.”

R6. 11/13/42 Sister [340] wrote: “[243] went to work this morning about 10:30, and promised me she wouldn’t stay late; but she isn’t strong enough to be back at the store. She looks dreadful, and is so very weak.”

I know when I get my rdg. and know what to do I will be alright.” [Rib fracture?]
