This psychic reading given by Edgar Cayce at his home in Pinewood on Lake Drive, Va. Beach, Va., this 19th day of May, 1932, in accordance with request made by self - Mr. [427], Associate Member of the Ass”n for Research & Enlightenment, Inc.

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

Time of Reading 11:50 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. …, Ala. (Physical Suggestion)

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [427] - this we have had before.

2. Conditions in a general manner show some improvements since that we last had here. While the muco-membranes of the throat, head and the respiratory system, show some congestion, yet there are periods when these show that the circulation is much more thorough and general.

3. As we find, this condition - if provided that there are the proper precautions taken - would be very much better handled than would under other environs or surroundings, for the diet may be looked after much better, and the activities of body as relations to others would be much better. But the PRECAUTIONS should be taken, as has been indicated.

4. It would be well also were there added, at least every morning and every evening, the vapor or gasses from apple brandy inhaled into the lungs as would cigarette smoke or the like. This should be at least a half gallon in a gallon container, wood - charred wood, and kept so that evaporation taking place is not allowed to escape except when inhaled morning and evening into the lungs.

5. Keep the inhalant that acts as an antiseptic for the muco-membranes of head, throat and nostrils.

6. We would also keep the White’s Cod Liver Oil Tablets, one after each meal, and we will find that the meals should consist more and more of those that are blood and nerve building.

7. With these precautions, and being mindful that cold and congestion does not arise from over heating, over eating, or too violent an exercise, the conditions should continue on the improve. In three to five months the body should be NORMAL - WELL!

8. Ready for questions.

9. Each day we would find that the exercises physically should be (this is outside of the daily labors, to be sure) considerable in the open air, but not so much NIGHT air. Walking is the best exercise. This done in the surroundings, or parks, or the like, is well for the body - EARLY MORNING exercises.

10. (Q) Would it be beneficial to my health to change my line of business? [Newspaper - editorial dept.] (A) Not necessarily. Take the proper precautions, for in this line the body may make a success. [See 427-3 on 9/29/27.]

11. (Q) What month, day and year may Miss […] and I expect to be united as man and wife? (A) Wait until the body is physically fit. This should be by the latter part of the present year. If circumstances and conditions are then of such a nature that this may be consummated, would be well.

12. (Q) It is not necessary, then, to go west to cure my illness? (A) West would be worse for the body.

13. We are through for the present.

Reports

Reports & Follow-up

R1. 7/31/32 Letter from father [779] to EC: ”…Yes I also want to say that [427] has shown a wonderful improvement. He has gained about 5 or 6 lbs. He did not take the treatment as closely as he should and not near as much as we are having son [781] to take, but [427] doesn’t seem to be troubled any more with those conditions as he did before reading given…”

R2. 8/28/32 Letter from [779] to EC: ”…Yes, I am very happy to report that both son [427] and son [781] are still improving and looking much better. We are so glad to give these readings complete credit for the very wonderful way they have and are still responding to the treatments. I think [427] said today that he has gained 9 lbs. He looks so much better.”

R3. 10/16/33 Mr. [427]‘s letter to EC: “Probably I should start off with an apology for not writing to you sooner, but this is really the first opportunity I have had in sometimes.

Since you last heard from me I have married and am now the happiest person in the world. I have been feeling fine and gaining weight up until a week ago. Now I don’t feel quite so well and have lost several of the pounds I gained during the first months of married life. Last Saturday and Sunday nights I was bothered with a slight pain in my left chest, seems like the same trouble I had sometimes ago. I want to stop whatever it is before it gets a hold on me and I thought that I would get the prescription you gave me for an inhalant, but it has been misplaced. Mother looked for it, but she also was unable to find the reading. So if it is not too much trouble I would like to see if I couldn’t get another reading on “the body” as to its present conditions and remedies it should have. I don’t know of any particular questions I want to ask, so I wonder if you would let me hear from you within a short period as to what you would do if you were me.

Daddy [779] told me to write to you if I still wanted to receive the bulletins that are issued by you. So I take this opportunity to ask you to please send them to me at the address in the above left hand corner. At the first of the year I am going to do all in my power to start a monthly contribution to the wonderful work that you are carrying out so well under the present existing conditions.

Mr. Cayce, I wish you could meet my little wife. She is one of the sweetest kids in the world and I would not give her up for anything. She is the type of woman that believes in God and His works and she attends Sunday School and Church weekly. I am fixing to begin to attend SS regularly with her. So you see I have someone that will probably help me more than anything in the world.”
