This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at his home on Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 2nd day of July, 1940, in accordance with request made by the self - through his daughter-in-law, Mrs. [1237], Associate Member of the Ass”n for Research & Enlightenment, Inc.

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

Time of Reading 10:55 to 11:05 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. …, Va.

1. GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find at the present time; giving the cause of the existing conditions, also suggestions for help and relief of this body. You will answer the questions, as I ask them:

2. EC: Yes.

3. Now as we find, these conditions with this body will gradually become more serious unless some measures are taken to correct or allay the process of collapse of nerve impulse in the extremities, which is being experienced. For, unless corrected, there will be formed a condition of paralysis, which will be slow and gradual.

4. We find that this arises from conditions existent in the glandular system.

5. Hence, for corrections, we would first use measures to purify or cleanse the glandular system; then we would add those properties which would aid in correcting the disturbance. Thus we might help or allay the condition which has been begun.

6. First, then, we would begin taking internally small doses of Atomidine; one minim in half a glass of water each morning before the meal is taken, for five days; then leave off five days; then take again five days, leave off five days, and so on for at least three periods.

7. Then we would begin with osteopathic adjustments in the cerebrospinal system, specifically in the lower cervical and THROUGHOUT the whole dorsal area. There should be at least fifteen of such adjustments taken in the first series.

8. Also once or twice a week during the whole period we would give injections of Liver Extract.

9. As to whether it will be necessary to repeat the whole course of treatments or not will depend upon the reaction, and it should be indicated during the first series of osteopathic adjustments.

10. As to the diet, - do not eat those things that are of a greasy nature. Then, no fried foods at all! Not too much of drinks that carry carbonated waters in ANY form!

11. Keep rather the normal activities, normal eliminations.

12. Doing these, we should make for better conditions of this body, [2295].

13. Ready for questions.

14. We are through for the present.

R1. 7/8/40 Daughter-in-law, Mrs. [1237]‘s letter to EC:

Dear Mr. Cayce:-

Since getting the reading for Mr. [2295], my father in law - we have begun the treatments. For five days we have given him the atomidine each morning. Today being the fifth day of the five day rest period. He has been suffering severely with his toe, foot, ankle and leg and the pain is almost unbearable. I would appreciate your trying to give me a check reading and to answer the questions on the enclosed sheet as soon as possible. We are following the reading but the mention of the liver extract isn’t exactly clear.

If the reading is given before Saturday, of this week, Mr. [2295] will be on the …, if given Saturday he will be at his residence - … Ave. - City.

Thanking you for whatever consideration may be given me, I remain.

Sincerely, [1237]

1. Who will be advisable to give the injections of liver extract? How much should be given at a time? What kind of extract should be used?
2. What can be done to relieve the pain in the toe, foot, leg and ankle, which has been more severe since taking the Atomidine?
3. Should the liver extract be taken before the osteopathic treatments are begun?
4. What can be done in order that he can rest and sleep in bed rather than by sitting in a chair?
5. If a sedative would aid in relieving the pain, what is suggested?
6. Does bathing the toe and foot in salt water at night have any bearing on his not sleeping and on the pain?

B1. 6/21/40 Daughter-in-law, Mrs. [1237]‘s letter to EC:

…, Virginia

Mr. Edgar Cayce Arctic Circle Virginia Beach, Va.

Dear Mr. Cayce:-

Last week I spoke to you on the ‘phone in regards to a physical reading for my father-in-law, Mr. [2295]. Mr. [2295] has been ailing for almost a year and has had little relief from local doctors. When I talked to you I was told that you might be able to get a reading thru after the Congress so I am listing below several questions and facts and trust that this will be the information needed.

Mr. [2295] is 70 years old; and next week will be at the … from 7 AM to 5 PM every day except Friday at which time he will be at his residence.

Questions:- 1- Has the treatment as given in the “boot” benefited me any? 2- Why is it that I can not rest in bed even after it has been raised…and yet can sleep comfortably in a chair? 3- What is the real trouble with my foot? 4- What is the suggested cure for the trouble? 5- Does my standing and walking, in line with my work, tend to make my toe ache and get cold? 6- Any such other questions as may be suggested.

Mr. Cayce since I have had such a recovery four years ago…this fall…[See 1237-1 & 1237-2] I only trust that I may in some small way be able to lead someone else to the shadows of this wonderful and Godly work.

After the reading has been given you can call me collect at … or you can mail the information to me at the above mentioned address and I will take care of the costs.
