This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at Hopkinsville, Ky., this 2nd day of August, 1911.

[Edgar Cayce; L. B. Cayce, Conductor; J. King, Steno.]

Time of Reading Unknown.

1. LBC: You have before you Mr. [2674], who is in this room with you.

2. EC: [2674], in this room.

3. LBC: He is with you now, you will see him.

3.000003, of white 1.401.

4. EC: We have him here.

5. LBC: I want you to go over him carefully, examine him thoroughly, and tell us what is the matter with him, if anything.

6. EC: Now, as we have in this body here, Mr. [2674] that of little weight outside of the normal condition of the body, as we have in this body, you see, the normal temperament; pulsation, 78 to 80, respiration 14 to 18, blood temperature 98 5/8, specific gravity of urine 1.14, red blood corpuscles

7. While as we have in this body here now, Mr. [2674] coming in conjunction with these through the normal condition as through the splenic forces, and again to the blood forces rebuilding the red blood and the nerve tissues, into the brain through the sensory organism, through that of the sensitiveness to that of the imaginative, or that which receives impressions through the senses, especially that of the feeling, and especially to that of the hearing and sight. Catching all the forces through the conditions of the body, through the abnormal condition of the system, it is supplied through these in elimination, producing the splenic forces coming into conjunction with the first and second dorsal, supplying to the upper portions of the body the eliminating powers, to the kidneys, and the plexus.

8. The next condition we have through the locomotory nerves of the blood supply to the lower extremities of the body, the legs. The same condition as we have through the forces supplying the upper gastric juices of the stomach, produced from the same condition we have here oftentimes through the sensitive condition of the system of the lung, or that of the dilitation [dilation?] of the diaphragm between that of the plethoric circulation of the lungs, or the pulmonaries, and that of the normal condition. The condition in the pulmonaries covers about three thousand square feet, in the condition of Mr. [2674] we have something above the normal of full lung forces, created more by the condition of the mind in itself over the matter in the body than over the exponent condition of the system in itself.

9. (Q) Any other abnormal conditions? (A) Some we have here from the exterior portion of the body itself. Nothing into the rebuilding portions of the body that is abnormal.

10. (Q) What treatment would you prescribe? (A) Plenty of water at all times. Drink more than he does here, of a soft nature, or that containing more soda than he has been heretofore. Plenty of soda, producing into the condition of the stomach and duodenum the replenishing forces supplying the powers to the rebuilding of the cellular forces into the spleen, that is, the body in itself, until the juices or the cellular forces enter into the organ itself, rebuilding more of these supplying properties to the brain in itself, that enter into the system at this condition by a force which acts more to the condition of the kidneys or that we will find through that of the cellular.

11. (Q) Any other treatment? (A) That is all.
