This psychic reading given by Edgar Cayce at his home on Arctic Crescent, Va. Beach, Va., this 28th day of June, 1933, in accordance with request made by Hugh Lynn Cayce, Active Member of the Ass”n for Research & Enlightenment, Inc.

[Edgar Cayce; Gertrude Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno. Mildred Davis and Hugh Lynn Cayce.]

Time of Reading 3:25 to 3:55 P. M. Eastern Standard Time.

1. GC: We seek at this time information regarding the disease known as pyorrhea and its treatment by the preparation suggested through this channel called Ipsab. You will please answer the questions which I will ask about this disease and its remedy.

2. EC: Yes, we have information respecting that called pyorrhea and treatment, that compound called Ipsab; these we have had before.

3. As given, pyorrhea is a disease resulting from a germ that, more often, is the result of film on the teeth and the lack of proper exercise of the gums.

4. Pyorrhea is one of the prices that man pays for food that is cooked or prepared in the soft state.

5. For, few of the American Indians showed signs of pyorrhea until at least an advanced age. Few of the Laplanders or Eskimos show signs or results of pyorrhea until an advanced age.

6. Then, pyorrhea is one of the oldest disturbances to mankind, where quantities of cooked foods of the mush or soft nature are consumed and little or no activity given gums by tearing or rending raw foods in their original state.

7. Foods of all characters when the atomic forces are broken by heat affect the gums, and form upon the teeth a film that is the result of the breath AND digestion of the characters broken in cooking foods.

8. Such film makes a place of refuge for that form of bacilli germ that attacks the gums, and produces first the bleeding or irritating state. Eating deeper, it forms receding gums and - eventually, attacking the exposed portion - produces Riggs’ disease, or pyorrhea in its advanced state.

9. In making research for the preparing and distributing of a remedy for such a universal ailment to mankind, in the present state of experience, it would be well to consider some authorities that have searched out or prepared such remedies for their own use, and to then combine that which may be transposed - without in any form or manner taking some one else’s preparation, but use with that which may be given through these channels; for even the findings of the early ones that first set research in earth’s experience during those various periods may be given as they are needed - even from Hippolyte (?), Stiltz (?) or Tillson (?) - and these are worth while!

10. The preparation that has been given through these sources is for self’s own enlightenment, rather than for common knowledge and distribution in a manner as to gain better remuneration from the efforts; but this is scientifically builded, for the basis of the preparation is (when reduced) an alkaloid from that the Indian, the Atlantean, the Egyptian, the Mongolian, knew as toothache bark, or a remedy for infection or a disorder with the teeth or gums - whether from injury or from broken enamel that caused the leakage; hence - being a basis - is a preparation of merit.

11. In preparing it, preferably the bark in its original state should be selected. This may be pounded or powdered, but it is not as well in a GROUND state as a pounded or broken state - when allowed to dry. This is first steeped, and - as given - when made to conform to a standard may be made more economical and worth while.

12. Hence, when boiled in an earthen or enamel or brass container, it would register - in hydrometer test - to four. With this test, or strength of solution, begin as a base; using either the rain water, snow water or distilled water - or, if convenient, ocean water would be preferable, for this would carry sufficient quantity of the preservative that becomes an active principle in the preservation of foods or flesh (as in this quantity, or this condition) for a body, see? But, when using ocean or sea water, it should be BOILED HARD - see?

13. And when this registers as the test, to each OUNCE of solution - whether one ounce or a thousand ounces - add in this proportion per ounce of solution:

14. If there is used rain water, snow water, sleet or distilled water, to each ounce add a quarter ounce of salt. If sea water is used, it would not be necessary for any saline to be added to solution.

15. As to the other properties, iodine in solution - or atomic iodine that is non-poisonous in its reaction - may be used.

16. If Atomidine is used, add - to each ounce - six minims.

17. If Tincture of Iodine is used, add - to each ounce - three minims.

18. And, in either case, add two minims - to each ounce - Essence of Peppermint.

19. This used as a massage to the gums, inside and out, will be found to be effective in any case of pyorrhea or Riggs’ disease, where the process has not broken entirely through.

20. As a wash, use as given, massaging the gums at least three times each week with the finger or a small piece or tuft of cotton. It will make an effective resistance to the disorder.

21. While the solution does not brighten the teeth, it does not - with excessive use - dull the teeth.

22. But insist, with the use of such, that at least one meal each day for a patient consist of vegetables NOT cooked but raw; and this will bring to the users a state in the gums that will be most desirable for all.

23. It is necessary that the preparation be presented to the public in a way and manner that will appeal.

24. To be sure, in extreme cases, the use of the preparation may be more effective with tweezers, so that the solution is put between and around each side of any tooth or molar that shows signs of being affected by pyorrhea.

25. Naturally, the character, shape, size of the container should be considered; not so unusual, but very distinctive and individual in itself. The container should not be too large; an ounce or an ounce and a half should be sufficient, but should be used with a screw top to the container, and be in an extra container or carton carrying something of the condition, relative to the effect of pyorrhea upon the general health of an individual and as to how effective a wash can be made with the paste, or the like; for, as we have given, there will never be a better paste made than that combined with these properties indicated - nor any better than plain soda and salt, for a rub with brush.

26. In the carton should be a booklet or leaflet; not too ornate, but of such a nature as to signify that the preparers, makers or manufacturers, have made some study of the disorder. And the carton itself should be distinctive, in that the color and writing is different from that ordinarily displayed; though not gaudy, but effective.

27. And there would be no better sign or motto than the swastika in the triangle, for it carries all that indicating the source of the information being given - or that may be given - for the action upon such preparations.

28. And, as we have given, this prepared properly - presented in the right way and manner, will make more than a millionaire in moneys of the one presenting same. Then, don’t give it away!

29. We are through for the present.

Reports & Follow-up

R1. 7/33 Motto copied by Mildred Davis:

SIGN OR MOTTO FOR I P S A B - Svastika or Swastika [See 1800-19, Par. 27-A.]

Description from Nelson’s Perpetual Loose-leaf Encyclopedia, P. 562:

SVASTIKA: A symbol of unknown origin, and early introduced into India, apparently in connection with sun-worship. It appears either as a cross in a circle - or with the arms bent at right angles. The latter symbol is found in heraldic and ecclesiastical work in Christian countries, as well as in the catacombs, and is known as the fylfot. Medieval mystic writers derived it from the Greek gamma, which they thought suggested of Christ as the cornerstone; but it is seen on objects exhumed at Troy by Dr. Schliemann, and in early Indian and Chinese art; also in Mexico and Peru.

R2. GD’s note: The Hitler swastika is opposite to the design specified in the reading. [See Source File Key #1800 for newspaper article, “Hitler Address That Stirred World” re 1800-19.]

R4. 4/6/34 HLC’s letter to B. F. Buckner:

The H. C. Whitmer Co., Columbus, Ohio Att: Mr. B. F. Buckner

Dear Sir:

In reference to a discussion which you had with my father, Mr. Edgar Cayce, I wish to inform you that I will mail you tomorrow samples of the two preparations under consideration, one for pyorrhea and the other for hemorrhoids. [Ipsab for pyorrhea, Tim for Hemorrhoids.] Full directions for use will be found with each preparation.

I will appreciate it very much if you will outline for me the method employed by your company in selecting products for distribution. Both of these preparations have been successfully used in a number of cases concerning which I will be glad to furnish you letters of testimony. The more satisfactory method of estimating their value would seem to me to be that of making your own tests. We are confident from our own experience that both of the products will produce satisfactory results.

Neither of these products have been commercialized. Previous to this time they have not been presented to any large companies. In fact we have only recently perfected the rather complicated methods of preparation for commercial distribution. Previous to this time the cases in which they have been used have been scattered and individual.

I will appreciate it very much if you will keep the Association’s and my father’s name in the background should you deem the products worthy of further consideration. Within the next few months we intend placing these remedies in the hands of some large company for distribution. For personal reasons my father requests that negotiations be opened with you.

Yours very truly, Hugh Lynn Cayce, Manager

R5. 4/13/34 Mr. Buckner’s reply to HLC:

Association for Research & Enlightenment, Virginia Beach, Va. Attention Mr. Hugh Lynn Cayce.

Dear Mr. Cayce:

Thank you very much, Mr. Cayce, for your letter of April 6. My recent trip to Virginia will always stand out in my mind as most enjoyable, due in particular to the conversation I had with your father on the train.

The H. C. Whitmer Company has several hundred contracts in the way of dealers who purchase products from us and resell them at a suggestive retail price. These products are sold mostly in rural sections.

However, we have a number of men who are shipped on consignment in various cities.

Your letter was addressed to me at Columbus, Ohio. No doubt the package containing the products was addressed there also. I have been waiting the last two or three days for these to arrive. It might be they will show up the first of the week.

As soon as they get here, we will test them thoroughly and then be in a better position to write you further in regard to this matter. You will hear from us within a few days after the arrival of the preparations.

Thanks again for your letter.

Yours very truly,

B. F. Buckner Dist. Sales Director. THE H.C. WHITMER COMPANY

R6. 4/21/34 HLC’s letter to B. F. Buckner:

The H. C. Whitmer Company Columbus, Indiana Att: Mr. B. F. Buckner

Dear Mr. Buckner:

I regret that the package of preparations did not reach you promptly. I forwarded stamps to Columbus to have it remailed to you and perhaps by now you have received it.

We received notice of the serious illness of my grandmother on the afternoon the letter and package were mailed to you. I left the same afternoon and did not return to the Beach until last night. This will account for my hurried mistake.

The salve for hemorrhoids should be used once or twice each day according to the severity of the case. Instructions are printed on the bottles of Ipsab. Kindly advise me if you care to have larger quantities of the preparations for testing.

Thank you very much for your courtesy.

Yours very truly, Hugh Lynn Cayce
