CAYCE QUOTE ON FORMULA 243-29

    As a cough medicine, an expectorant, and for a healing through the whole system, prepare:
    Put 2 ounces of Strained Pure Honey in 2 ounces of Water and let come to a boil.  Skim off the refuse, then add 1 ounce of Grain Alcohol.  To this as the carrier, then, add - in the order named:

    Syrup of Wild Cherry Bark.................1 ounce,
    Syrup of Horehound......................1/2 ounce,
    Syrup of Rhubarb........................1/2 ounce,
    Elixir of Wild Ginger...................1/2 ounce.

    Shake well the solution before the dose is taken, which would be about a teaspoonful - and this may be taken as close together as every hour.  It will allay the cough, HEAL those disturbing forces through the bronchi and larynx, and make for better conditions through the eliminations.
