CAYCE QUOTE ON FORMULA 1800-20
 
    This the proportion in the preparation of Tim (long pause):
    As we find, there are other properties much preferable in the use of same than the old formula.  Here's the better formula:
    To 1 ounce Oil of Butterfat, add:

    Tincture of Benzoin..................10 minims,
    Atomidine, or atomic iodine...........5 minims, (or iodine, though atomic iodine is that with
       the poison out - but plain iodine is not as expensive as the Atomidine)
    Powdered tobacco or snuff.............3 drams, preferably the snuff - the powdered.

    Stir well together.  Preferable that this never be put in tin, but rather in the porcelain or glass; and should be in an ounce or ounce and a quarter hexagon-shaped jar, preferably.  The directions would be to apply as an ointment to affected portions once or twice each day.  Rest as much as possible AFTER application, with the feet elevated ABOVE the head.  It'll cure it!
