This psychic reading given by Edgar Cayce at the office of the Association, Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 4th day of February, 1943, pursuant to the request made by the Aunt, Miss [288], Member of the Ass”n for Research & Enlightenment, Inc.

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

Time of Reading 4:00 to 4:10 P. M. Eastern War Time.

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

  2. EC: [After repeating the suggestion in an undertone] Yes, we have the body here; this we have had before.

  3. As we find, there are those effects of an acute condition with the glands of the throat, the mammary glands, and the Eustachian tube - and ears.

  4. These, as we find, produce temperature, and irritation, upsetting of the appetite and the like.

  5. Necessary to keep the body quiet, and to prevent - especially - the getting of the feet wet. This does not mean not taking a bath, but do not get out of doors or in the open, see?

  6. Then a massage along the back of the neck, between the shoulders, with Minit-Rub, would be given following a thorough massage of the same areas with an equal combination of Mutton Tallow (melted), Turpentine and Camphor - this between the shoulders and back of neck, especially. Put the Mutton Tallow on first, you see, then the Minit-Rub; else it would be too hot.

  7. Around the neck or throat or around the ears massage with a rag or flannel dipped in kerosene, all the body will absorb - of evening. Well to tie such a rag (but this not flannel, rather gauze with kerosene on same), and then a cotton cloth over same, about the throat and the ears.

  8. This, with keeping good eliminations, keeping the body quiet and the massage (which may be given at least twice a day), should better the condition.

  9. (Q) Any particular diet? (A) That which is body-building and is agreeable, but not too much sweets - and of course NO acids.

  10. We are through for the present.
