This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at his home on Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 3rd day of May, 1937, in accordance with request made by the self - Mr. [1287], uncle of Edgar Cayce, Member of the Ass”n for Research & Enlightenment, Inc.

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

Time of Reading 4:15 to 4:25 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. …, Ky. (Physical Suggestion)

  1. EC: Yes, we have the body and those conditions as produce or cause disturbances in same.

  2. There are some improvements from that as we first had here, but too soon has there been left off the eliminants as indicated that would relieve the poisons from the system that have been an accumulation - and which from same produce pressures in the locomotary areas that cause the disturbance in the activities of the lower limbs.

  3. We would prepare then again the Toris Compound - two quantities; the one made up with the Simple Syrup and the other with the Spirits Frumenti; both, to be sure, using the ounce of the Compound Syrup of Sarsaparilla; then the two put together. Half a pint of the Spirits Frumenti (or Whiskey) would be used. The dose would be a tablespoonful four times each day, before the meals and before retiring.

  4. Also we would prepare another form of rub with which we would massage not only the lower limbs but from the waist and above the hips and back downward. Such a compound would be prepared in this manner:

  5. To a quart of White (or not discolored) Gasoline, dissolve half a block (the small size block) of Camphor Gum - this may be crushed and then stirred until it is thoroughly dissolved. Then add also:

Oil of Cedar Wood…1 ounce, Oil of Wintergreen…1 ounce.

Shake the solution well, and - evenings when ready to retire, mornings before dressing - massage same, all the body will absorb, across the smaller portion of the back, across the lumbar and sacral area, down the limbs and especially under the knees (back portion of the limbs) and the feet. Do not massage too heavy but sponge off with lukewarm water after this has thoroughly dried or been absorbed by the body.

  1. Occasionally - that is, say on Tuesdays and on Thursdays - before the morning meal we would take a teaspoonful of Eno Salts. While with the Toris Compound this causes the action of the alimentary canal or from the bowels to be over profuse especially on these days, there will be sufficient activity to the action of the lower hepatics or the kidneys - from the Eno - to assist in cleansing the system.

  2. This done thoroughly we should find a great deal better control of the activities of the lower limbs, and a better assimilation of the foods.

  3. Beware of hog meat, except crisp breakfast bacon. Do not eat too much of white breads. Preferably corn bread or whole wheat. Do not eat bread and potatoes (white potatoes) at the same meal.

  4. Keep in the sun as much as the general activities permit.

  5. Do that.

  6. Ready for questions.

  7. We are through with this Reading.
