This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at the office of the Association, Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 8th day of November, 1941, in accordance with request made by the self - Mr. [2518], Associate Member of the Ass”n for Research & Enlightenment, Inc.

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

Time of Reading 10:30 to 10:45 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. …, Ohio.

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

2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [2518]; this we have had before.

3. Some conditions show improvement. In others there has not been the response that has been indicated would come. This is because of the humor in the superficial circulation - hands and exposed areas. The improvements are indicated where there has been set up better coordination of eliminations.

4. At least once a week have a full, complete osteopathic adjustment. These have been beneficial, and should be kept up - until at least ten to twelve more treatments have been taken, or throughout the period of these applications as we will now indicate, especially.

5. We should also keep better eliminations, even though it necessitates the use of laxatives; not so much purgatives but laxatives. Prepare this compound to be used as a laxative.

Rochelle Salts…1 level tablespoonful, Cream of Tartar…1 level tablespoonful, Sulphur, Purified…1 level tablespoonful.

Mix these together thoroughly. Best that they be mixed by using a mortise and pestle.

6. The dose would be a level teaspoonful of the mixture each morning before the meal is taken, for five days. Leave off five days, and then repeat again. Leave off then ten days, and then repeat again for five days.

7. For the affected areas, where the humor is indicated, we would use a poultice made from either of these localities:

8. Obtain the earth from the Ohio area, - near Dayton, in Overlook Park, the strata near the bridge, as will be indicated from observation - being different in color from that around same. It is on the left side (if one is facing the river) from the little bridge over the ravine there. Take this earth, put it in a glass container and heat in the oven for one hour - at five hundred and forty (540) degrees of heat. Then pulverize it and mix with Peanut Oil to make an ointment. Use this as an ointment on the areas affected, rather than that which has been supplied - or suggested. Make the mixture just so it works into a good paste, see?

9. Or: Obtain the raw material - after being washed and baked once - from the talc mine near Jacksonville, Alabama. This would not require heating, but might be used in the raw form before being bolted the second time for purification; for it will have already been purified by washing and heating, to be sure. Mix this with the Peanut Oil and use as an ointment.

10. Use whichever of these is preferable. For, each of these carries sufficient of the gametal qualities to work with the deteriorating forces from the humor that is in the superficial circulation.

11. Preferably use that from the Dayton area.

12. Ready for questions.

13. (Q) Should I continue the use of the Calcios? (A) We would continue the Calcios, but we would now take it every other day instead of every day - but in periods, as indicated.

14. (Q) Should I continue the lithia tablets? (A) These will be well. But these, too, may be taken a little farther apart.

Do these, and we will bring better conditions for this body.

15. We are through with this Reading.

See extra sheet of directions [which was enclosed] for obtaining the earth near Dayton. We would suggest that you get in touch with one of our members, Mrs. J. A. McClelland, 803 Parkview Ave., Dayton, Ohio, who located this particular clay for another case some years back.)

Reports

Reports & Follow-up

R1. 2/11/42 Letter from Leona McClelland: “Last Sunday we went to Overlook Park and got a bucket of clay and sent some to Mr. [2518] in Youngstown. We also explained some to the man who owns the park, about you and the clay, etc. - that it might be worth something. He did not charge us for it and hopes it helps the man, to let him know if it helps was all he asked. Told him he could write you if he wished. It is a blue putty looking clay.”

R2. 5/3/43 Wife [2899]‘s letter to EC:

Dear Mr. Cayce:

About a year and a half ago you gave my husband Mr. [2518] a reading. He had a rash on his hands what the doctors termed eczema. He followed instructions fairly close and last summer it didn’t break out at all. Now it is beginning to break out again and I didn’t know what to do. So I thought I would write to you. He may need another reading so will you please let me know what he should do as soon as possible as it seems to be getting a little worse all the time. I got his other reading out and followed it as closely as is possible again but there seems to be something he lacks. I’ll appreciate to hear from you as soon as possible.

Sincerely yours, [2899]

R3. 6/15/43 Letter from wife, [2899]: “I am writing about my husband’s hands again. He is in agony - they are like raw meat. He hasn’t been able to work for several days - it affects his nerves and he won’t be able to stand it 2 wks. longer - Wire us collect, and he will be home.”

1. What effect does cigarette smoking, coffee, beer, fresh tomatoes, have on this condition?
2. Specify what foods should be stressed and what foods avoided in diet?
3. If more osteopathic treatments are needed, please specify special area.
4. Is there a local application that will relieve the rash on hands?
5. Does Vitamin B-Complex help?
6. Should I stay out of the sun and heat?

R4. 7/17/43 See 2518-3.
