This psychic reading given by Edgar Cayce at his office, 115 West 35th Street, Virginia Beach, Va., this 13th day of December, 1926, in accordance with wire request made by his wife - Mrs. […].

[Edgar Cayce; Mrs. Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno. [257].]

Time of Reading Commodore Hotel, 12:00 Noon - Eastern Standard Time. New York City.

1. GC: You will answer the questions which I will ask you regarding this body, and give suggestions for the relief and improvement of same.

2. EC: Yes, we have the body here. We have had this before. These are rather serious conditions as we have at the present time that have arisen in the physical forces of the body, and unless they are watched very carefully, we will have resulting peritonitis, that will bring about complications that will be very destructive to the physical forces of the body - for we find the conditions as exist are those of lacerations in the smaller intestines, and especially about those of which the body has been warned, as regarding the separation of the blood supply in the system - that is, where the chyle ducts begin, or in the region of the lacteal ducts, see?

3. Now, this nausea as is produced from this is a regurgitation from inflammation as is produced below. The temperature is from the increased hepatic circulation, as is the strain that is brought on the kidneys, and the inactivity of the liver is from that same reaction of temperature as is produced internally.

4. To meet the needs of the condition at the present time, we would first take small quantities of Chalk and Magnesia, about half a teaspoonful, prepared in any manner in which the body may take it easily - stirred as a small dose, you see, in water.

5. Then, after this has been taken, we would begin with as much of Yellow Saffron Tea as the body can easily assimilate, FOLLOWING this constantly with small quantities - that is, just as long as the body can assimilate it, see - of pure Olive Oil, until we have reduced the temperature, until we have allayed the condition in the intestinal system, and until the system is thoroughly cleansed.

6. Very little foods should be given the body during this time, see? There may be taken small quantities of beef juice, see? Not the meats at all. Graham crackers may be taken with the beef juice, see?

7. Now, the Yellow Saffron Tea would be given a tablespoonful at the time, or half a GLASS if the body can retain that much - but we want to prevent there being any regurgitation. Small quantities in between times of the Oil and Yellow Saffron of equal parts of Lime Water and Cinnamon Water may be taken - teaspoonful at the time, see? This will settle the stomach and reduce these conditions, but be sure the Magnesia and Chalk is taken first.

8. (Q) How much should be taken before the other? (A) One dose, as given, and the quantity as given - half a teaspoonful of the two combined, see? Then, when this has begun to show improvements through this, there should be the addition, then, of small quantities of egg and milk - the egg first cooked with small quantity of whiskey - just sufficient - let it be Spirits Frumenti though and not common whiskey - and then the milk added. Take this, though, in VERY small doses, but keeping up at the same time that of the Yellow Saffron and Olive Oil, for this will be food for the intestinal system - reduction in temperature - of course cold cloths may be used on any portions of the body where the pain is severe, as is seen at the back of the head or across the small of the back, where these pains come from the overtaxing to the kidneys, and some show of the reaction from the glands as are irritated by this overthrow of eliminations through this portion of the system, see?

Do that.

9. We are through with this reading.

R2. 12/14/26 EC’s ltr. to [2889]‘s wife:

My dear Mrs. […]

Your wire received and, as you know, I wired you the thing I understood was to be done at that time. I’m certainly sorry to know that Col. [2889] is having trouble, but I certainly hope and trust that we may be the means of having offered some suggestion that will prove worth while.

We want to assure you of our interest, and shall be glad for you to let us hear regarding his condition from time to time.

Should you desire further information, I believe it would be well for you to make a list of questions respecting his condition, as YOU understand it. Possibly through that channel we will be able to help.

With kindest personal regards to you both; I am

Sincerely, Edgar Cayce [EC:GD]
