This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at his home on Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 5th day of July, 1939, in accordance with request made by the husband - Mr. […], Associate Member of the Ass”n for Research & Enlightenment, Inc.

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

Time of Reading 4:10 to 4:15 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. New York City.

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

2. EC: Yes.

3. As we find, in many ways there is a GENERAL improvement.

4. That there is the continuation of the pain through the limbs, especially the hips and those areas from which the impulses for the circulation and the nerve impulses arise from the trunk portion of the body to the limbs, of course is a part of the general disturbance.

5. As we find, if there would be - but ONLY under the supervision of a medical administration, you see - the use of Sulfamilhide (?) [sulfanilamide], and this given for a period, we would find it would aid - with the rest of these applications being made; though we would not use the Compound Tincture of Benzoin rub during the period this is given, but the rest of the treatments should be administered as has been indicated, see?

6. The rub NOW we would prepare in this manner:

Olive Oil…1 ounce, Peanut Oil…1 ounce, Cedar Wood Oil (not cedar nut nor of other characters, but the Cedar Wood Oil)…1/2 ounce.

All of these will separate, you see, but shake or stir well together before being used, or as they are used.

7. Then keeping the rest of the treatments as has been indicated, would be the proper applications for this body in the present.

8. Ready for questions.

9. (Q) Will this also help her to sit or stand comfortably more than a few minutes at a time? (A) As the pains are gradually removed, and then the strengthening power has come through the supplies for the activities of the muscular forces, this will aid. Of course, there will be a reaction first from THIS administration, you see, - but as this is gradually used and there is the tendency for the temperature to subside, bettered conditions will come about, see?

10. (Q) At the time Mr. Jeiter is applying treatment, the body is without pain. Can you suggest anything she might do for herself when he is not there? (A) Apply the same character of massage for self over the areas where the relief comes, which - as indicated - is in the trunk portions of the body, where there is the conjunction of the sympathetic nerve system and the nerve trunks to the lower limbs.

11. (Q) Please review the work of Mr. Jeiter and tell us if there is an error in his treatment of the body; if so, please suggest correction. (A) This is very good if kept as has been indicated.

12. (Q) Any other advice for the body? (A) We would do these for this body, as indicated, for the better conditions.

13. We are through with this reading.
