This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at his home on Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 20th day of April, 1938, in accordance with request made by the husband - Mr. [1005], Active Member of the Ass”n for Research & Enlightenment, Inc.

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

Time of Reading 10:45 to 10:55 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. …, Kentucky. (Physical Suggestion)

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [23], this we have had before.

2. As we find, conditions as respecting the attempt to save the body-developments are rather serious.

3. For as we find the organs of the pelvis are out of position and are in such a state of strain that the fetus forces are causing a drainage that produces irritations, as well as a great deal of pain.

4. It is, of course, close to the third month, as indicated. Hence it becomes the more serious for all conditions.

5. As we find, it would be necessary for hospitalization. With precautions it MAY be able to save the situation.

6. But with the leakages there is, of course, the danger of there becoming infectious forces; thus making for conditions hard to be dealt with. For septic poisoning would make for conditions that would become serious - or separations.

7. As we find then, the sooner there is the care in the hospital and under the direction of a surgeon, with precaution taken, the better.

8. Gaither, as we find here, would be preferable if local conditions are taken into consideration.

9. Ready for questions.

10. (Q) Is operation necessary or advisable for the good of this body? (A) As just indicated, if there are the dangers of septic poisoning from the leakages and position of the womb itself as related to the rest of the system, it will be necessary - to save the body, see? Under the directions of hospitalization, then, the body-developments within the body may POSSIBLY be saved - but it doesn’t appear so in the present.

11. (Q) What type of operation? (A) What type! To DRAIN the conditions - remove the foetus!

As just indicated, then, the sooner the body is under the direction of the physician, the better - or the more possibility there is for saving the situations.

12. We are through with this Reading.

Reports & Follow-up

R1. 5/7/38 Husband [1005]‘s letter: “[23] has been getting along fine since Dr. Gaither fixed her up. I was pretty much worried about her for a while. Thanks a million times for the readings.”

R2. 5/24/38 Letter: “Telling you that I’m grateful to you for the way you responded to my ‘S.O.S-es’ is so very inadequate as compared to the way I feel about it. I do so sincerely thank you from the bottom of my heart…

“Needless to say, I’m so excited about this coming event of ours that I can hardly realize that it is actually true. I think I’m about straightened out now. I’m just up out of bed again, where I’ve been for five days. Dr. Gaither advised that - at that particular time. I’m feeling fine now and am so happy I could dance a jig.

“May I have another check reading? I’d like to know if I’m as right as I feel. And would you ask 2-3 questions for me, please? I listen to what the doctor says with only one ear

• all the time wondering what the readings would say about it… [See list of questions included in 23-11.]

“I asked about the doctor I should have at the ‘grand finale’ - Dr. Gaither doesn’t take confinement cases any more. His surgery takes all of his time. He said that he would see me through the trouble I was having and then turn me over to another doctor. And since I don’t know a single one of the doctors here - I’d like to have the reading’s advice on it.”
