1. EC: Now, we have here those physical conditions as regarding [3796] for behold she prayeth!

2. Now, these are the physical conditions as are to be met in this body. While we find that the mental attitude of the body is above the normal, as respecting the condition that may be produced by the mind being kept at an at-oneness with the divine that lies within, yet physical conditions arise, and man is of that element and nature that, wherein fear or desire having been created within the system, that organism in itself goes about to create those conditions that are combative, and destructive even, to those conditions that would bring healing forces in their wing. While the attitude is in this way and manner, receive then these as those healing physical forces that will overcome this toxin as is thrown off from the system and not eliminated through the proper channels. While we have no organic conditions to be overcome, there are those functional troubles as are seen in the lungs, from the condition of cold, congestion, and the condition as is produced by same in liver that prevents the normal eliminations. The drosses being thrown back into the circulation, the attempt of the capillaries to eliminate an excess produces a rash, an irritation, the pimples, the abrasions, over various portions of the system that gives distress, and to the system becomes again as producing, as it were, fear within the entity itself, [3796].

3. To overcome these conditions, we would keep that ever present attitude of the entity, KNOWING that these conditions are going to be overcome, for these WILL, will the entity but keep the will one with that Universal Force and power as brings to the PHYSICAL body those healing forces; and add to same that in the PHYSICAL that brings the PHYSICAL in an at-oneness, physically, with that attitude. This, as we see then, will bring this condition. Use this as an inhalant for the lung, for the throat, for the thyroid conditions:

4. To 4 ounces of pure grain alcohol, add:

Eucalyptol…30 minims, Benzosol…15 minims, Benzoin…10 minims, Rectified Oil of Turp…5 minims, Canadian Balsam…5 minims, Tolu in solution…20 minims.

Shake this well together, and inhale two to three (2 to 3) deep inhalations at least every 2 hours. This, as we see, will allay the condition and bring the normal forces for THIS portion of the respiratory system.

5. This as the condition for the liver and intestinal tract. Take green ragweed 3 ounces. Add to this 8 ounces distilled water. Reduce by simmering (not boiling) to 1/2 the quantity. Strain off. Then add 4 ounces beet sugar dissolved in 2 ounces of distilled hot water. Set this aside as one solution. Then take 4 ounces of wild cherry bark. Add to this 8 ounces distilled water. Reduce this by simmering to 4 ounces. Strain. Then add this to the ragweed or ambrosia weed solution. Add then to THIS 1 dram of Balsam of Tolu cut in 1 ounce pure grain alcohol. Add then 2 minims Oil of Peppermint. Shake solution well together, and the dose will be teaspoonful every 4 hours.

6. For the condition as is seen in the capillaries and over various portions of the body, dust this with Stearate of Zinc (powder), and we will find that by the time the full quantities of each of these have been taken we will bring near the normal conditions to this body.

7. The diet should be those of vegetables, especially of the season vegetables, and no meats whatever. The body does not eat meat though, but no meats whatever, and these, with that as the body applies to self, will bring the normal forces, for there is much good and many peoples to whom this body will bring joy, peace and happiness.

8. We are through for the present.

My dear Mr. Hall:-

I want to bother you once more. I am enclosing for you, herewith, a copy of something that was gotten in a reading for Miss [3796]. She asked that I get this fixed for her, as I am sending it on to you. If you haven’t this on hand, please get it right away, because we want to fix it if it is possible. I feel sure, if you haven’t the Wile Cherry Bark, you can get it from Seller’s Drug Company in Birmingham. The green ragweed, of course, you can gather anywhere around there. Please fix this for me at once and mail to me, and I will forward it to Miss [3796] as she is on the go at the present time. You will also enclose me with same a box of the Stearate of Zinc Powder.

R3. 6/7/26 [3796]‘s letter:

Edgar Cayce 115 West 35th Street Virginia Beach, Virginia

Dear Mr. Cayce,

I am writing you for two reasons. To acknowledge receipt of the “inhaler” and to ask your assistance in my work here. I just cannot seem to get the people out in Portland. My audiences are far too small to warrant a class. Have spent much money on advertising and do not know what more to do.

As a rule I have large audiences.

Will you consider this at your earliest convenience possible and let me know by telegram collect. I am arranging to continue the lectures up to Tuesday of next week and not close this week. For some reason I have a confidence that you can help. Enclosing check also one of my programs. Thanking you I am very appreciatively yours, [3796]

(Am using the inhaler)

R5. [3796]‘s flier:

PRACTICAL PSYCHOLOGY or “Life and How to Live It”

THE LAWS OF EFFICIENT, HEALTHY, AND HAPPY LIVING IN LANGUAGE YOU CAN UNDERSTAND, FREE FROM COLLEGE CLASSROOM TERMS.

Psychology, as a science, has compiled its own facts. These are in conflict with no religion, but may be effectively used to intensify the impact and make more practical and effective the message of all churches which are not hostile to scientific truth, and which are willing to admit that natural law is GOD’S law, and if natural law applied to mind can cure disease, overcome destructive emotions, build character of the highest type, and demonstrate the scientific path to righteousness, then it is to the glory of God and the glorification of human life that this teaching should become universal - a part of the message of every creed and faith.

If you are sick, [3796] will show you how to co-operate with natural law so as to regain perfect health.

If you are unhappy, burdened with worry, fear and other destructive emotions, she will point the way to mental poise and calm, bringing to you the BLUE BIRD OF HAPPINESS.

If you have failed to achieve success, and your bravest efforts have met with disappointment and failure, the study of LIFE, AND HOW TO LIVE IT, which is a study of HUMAN LIFE, YOUR LIFE AND MINE, will discover to you the ROYAL ROAD TO SUCCESS, HAPPINESS, AND HEALTH.

It explains hundreds of other important things about yourself and other persons that you must know if you wish to be as HEALTHY, HAPPY and SUCCESSFUL as you have a right to be - AND CAN BE.

YOU HAVE WITHIN YOURSELF THE ANSWER TO YOUR PROBLEM

We all are blind until we see That in the common plan Nothing is worth the making If it does not make the man. Why build these temples glorious If man unbuilded goes We build a world in vain Unless the builder also grows
