This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at his office, 35th Street, Virginia Beach, Va., this 25th day of September, 1925, in accordance with request made through Mr. David E. Kahn.

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

Time of Reading 3:30 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. …, N.Y.

1. GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find at the present time. You will diagnose the case thoroughly, giving the cause of the existing conditions, also the treatment for the cure and relief of this body.

2. EC: Now, we find there are many abnormal conditions for this body. These, or some of these especially, need prompt attention. While the conditions that bring these about are of a general nature, yet many specific conditions need the special attention. The conditions as have to do with the shortness in the breath, and the pulmonary conditions as exist in the system, these need the first attention, see? We find then these as the conditions at the present time, [4234] we are speaking of, see? First:

3. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, this we find weakened, or not of the sufficient forces to produce the revibration necessary in the rebuilding properties in system. Hence the depletion from infectious forces as is carried in the blood stream. This gives the full, choking sensations as give portions of body the distress.

4. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, this we see the general debilitation by much suffering. The temperature as is produced in system at present comes more from the disturbances as are produced between the distribution of eliminations and assimilations. Hence the swelling condition as is seen in portions of the system, those especially as pertain to nerve centers in trunk portion of body.

5. FUNCTIONING OF ORGANS THEMSELVES, all are under the distress of the general condition.

6. Then, for the first, we would give these properties (internal, see?):

Eucalyptol…2 minims, Canadian Balsam…1 minim, Rectified Oil of Turp…1 minim, Heroin…1/60 grain.

7. This to be combined to-gether as each dose. One dose taken in morning, one in evening, and apply the vibrations from the Violet Ray for stimulation over the whole of the cerebro-spinal system, reducing temperature by the mixture of rub alcohol with that of Hydrastis - equal parts, see? - Essence or Elixir. This should be rubbed in the portions of system where the swelling and in the joints, in the abdomen, along these portions of body. This will assist, too, in reducing temperature and giving food for the system. The diet should be very little, only as stimulants, until the excretory and the system in assimilation is nearer balanced, giving THEN those properties as will be found in Junket, in Arrow Root. Egg, Spirits Frumenti. These as stimulations, see, for system. Do this and we will find we will bring the better conditions for system, and when conditions have been localized, then we would give that necessary for the rebuilding of the body. Take at least, of the properties as given, six doses, see? Three days, see? Then we would give from here those things to be done, if this proves to rejuvenate the system for the resistances to be given. Do that.

8. We are through for the present.

R1. 9/25/25 EC’s letter to DEK:

35th Street, Virginia Beach, Va.

Dear Dave:-

Certainly very sorry I couldn’t get this [4234-1] reading for you last evening, but had just finished with one when I received your wire, and already had a special on hand for this morning that I couldn’t delay. I’m certainly in hopes that this reaches you in time to be worth something to this good lady, though it seems like from this that its quite serious. If I remember correctly, this same prescription was given for someone in Birmingham for something like the similar conditions as described here. They had some time getting a doctor to prescribe or write the prescription for this, but it was finally written by one of the best ones there, and he told me himself, personally, that it was the most remarkable reaction, the most satisfactory results that he had ever seen in anything. I certainly hope this can be gotten alright. Be sure and let me hear about how she gets along and have them make up the list of questions for the next reading.

We have certainly been very busy trying to get straight since we moved. Have hardly gotten started on the work as yet, and are something like twenty-five or thirty, maybe more, behind with our readings at present. So you know how it is when one comes in that’s special.

I understand from Morton that you have already shipped the stuff [Davenport suite for living room]. I wonder if you shipped it from the high point factory, or from where. Be sure and let me know about this, send me a bill of lading if it’s possible, unless you shipped it according to the first directions and if you did that I suppose the bill of lading was sent to Van Patten. How is your Mother? Why can’t you make it by here when you’re going back and forth to some of the factories in Carolina? Can’t be but little bit out of your way. Certainly like to see you and talk with you. Let me hear from you whenever possible. Please remember me to your Mother and the folks. With best from all,

Sincerely, Edgar Cayce EC:GD
