This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at his office, 322 Grafton Avenue, Dayton, Ohio, this 19th day of June 1925, in accordance with request made by self - Miss [4379].

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

Time of Reading 4:00 P. M. Dayton Savings Time. …, Georgia.

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 in this body, the seat, cause or beginning of the trouble dating back many years, and have to do with conditions as produced much by self, through conditions as the body knows of. The condition as produced in the body at the present in the physical forces being those of incoordination, especially as is in the nerve system, the locomotories, and the inability of the coordination with the sympathetic system and the cerebro-spinal, for many of the actions of the involuntary become voluntary and involuntary of the voluntary.

3. In the condition then, these are those to be met, and the rest of the system is subjugated much to this condition. This being then the chief condition to be met, and these may be assisted somewhat through care, persistence and through following out the conditions as will develop by the use or application of these properties to the body. First, we would every other day apply, from the 2nd cervical to the base of the spine, mud (stiff mud) from the creek near this home. The black loam, with as little of the gravel and sand as possible. Let his remain on body until the next morning. This will be found to ease and rest the body, after the body becomes to that condition where this is not burdensome - from second to third application. Next morning after use, bathe the portion of the body thoroughly, massaging into the portion of the spine so covered that property of oil and Life Everlasting, equal parts, massaged into the whole length of the spine. Make also a battery vibration, as will be found in this:

4. To one and a half gallons of rain water, add:

Heavy Sea Salt…1 pound, Copper Sulphate…1 1/2 pounds, Sulphuric Acid, C.P…1 ounce, Plain Zinc, or Common Zinc…6 drams.

5. Place in this also an opaque container containing one pound Tincture Iodine. This then should be charged with high voltage, low amperage, for at least one hour. Using then as poles the copper in one, the nickel in the other. To these poles attach small copper wires, with thin copper plates on the end of each wire. Attach to the body on days the mud is not used. The larger plate, from the nickel pole, to the body just above the umbilicus. The other plate to the neck, near or at the 1st and 2nd cervical. Attach these with tapes. Let this remain on body for at least forty to sixty minutes.

6. Take internally these properties: to 10 ounces of distilled water, add 15 grains Chloride of Gold, with 10 grains Bromide of Soda.

7. Shake solution well before taking, which would be (the dosage) three to five drops in half a glass of water twice each day.

8. When these applications have been made to the body consistently and persistently for thirty days, we will find a change coming to the body. Then we would give from here further instructions.

9. We are through for the present.

Reports & Follow-up

R1. 6/19/25 EC’s letter to [4379]:

My dear Miss [4379]:

As you will see, your reading was gotten this afternoon. The condition is not described so much, save the inability of coordination throughout the nervous system. I’m sure, from the results that others have gotten, if you can follow out the suggestions as are given here, you will gain relief from your trouble. To be sure, it will be necessary for you to have someone who will assist you with this, but it will be a very simple thing, but you must be very persistent in the application of the mud, also of the vibration, with the massage that is to be given after mud is cleansed off. In the making of this battery, you can have your druggist to put these solutions together, then get some local battery station to charge same for you. Charge same until the discharge is at least five and a half ohms. The Gold and Soda of course will be prepared by your druggist, and after you have taken this for a while, be sure and let me hear from you, then we will give another reading and see how you have been getting along.

I’m certainly very much in hopes this will prove of the benefit to you the same as it has to so many others.

Hoping you will let me hear from you.

Sincerely, Edgar Cayce EC:GD

My Dear Mr. Cayce

I have wanted to write and tell you how much I do appreciate your kindness but have been too sick and nervous to do so. I haven’t commenced taking your treatment simply because I have not been able to get the medicine. Hope to go to town one day this week and will see if I can get it there. I believe you can cure me with God’s help. As soon as I can I [will] get the medicine and other things will begin at once. I do not always have the money to do as I want to but I trust God for I know he will take care of me. I pray God will bless you. As soon as I get the medicine will let you hear from me again. Please send me some of your literature. Let me hear from you again.

Yours Sincerely, [4379]

My Dear Mr. Cayce

I know you must think hard of me for not writing to you. My father was very ill for three months & passed away a few weeks ago.

I have tried so hard to have the battery made. A druggist in Montgomery, Ala. wrote several battery houses but they said they did not know how to fix it. He told me to ask you to please give me another reading. Anything you can do for me will be appreciated as I suffer so much.

Yours sincerely, Miss [4379]

…, Ga.

My Dear Mr. Cayce

I appreciate you giving me an appointment for another reading. The time and hour stated will suit me alright. I pray you can help me. I hope you can treat me without using the battery as it will be hard work for me to get some one who understands it. Let me hear from you. Thanking you for your kindness, I am

Yours sincerely, Miss [4379]

Dear Mr. Cayce,

Nearly two years ago I wrote & asked you to give me one of your treatments. I told a friend to answer your letter but she never did. For God sake help me if you can & he will bless you. I have no means & am a helpless nervous invalid, can’t walk a step alone. Let me hear from you soon.
