This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at his home on Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 18th day of August, 1932, in accordance with request made by her husband - Mr. […], Associate Member of the Ass”n for Research & Enlightenment, Inc.

[Edgar Cayce; Gertrude Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno. Mildred Davis and Hugh Lynn Cayce.]

Time of Reading 4:10 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. …, Texas. (Physical Suggestion)

1. EC: Yes, we have the body, [4438] - this we have had before.

2. In some respects we find the physical condition shows improvement.

3. As we find, there has been an adverse reaction to the specific condition, owing to the manner in which the various applications were made. Should this continue in such a manner so that the discharge becomes offensive, and gives the appearance of the proud flesh, the operative measures should be resorted to at once; but with the application in the manner as has been given, all in their regular order and as outlined, the discharge should be stopped, or the tendency for the continuation of the swelling and soreness, and rather DRY the affected parts than causing erosions.

4. Ready for questions.

5. (Q) Is the treatment being followed properly? (A) Read just what was given, that it hasn’t been put altogether in the order and manner as outlined, causing adverse reaction to the existent condition for the affected portions of the system!

6. (Q) Just what part hasn’t been put together properly? (A) Only gotten part at the time, and part at the time begun to be taken - which caused reverse reactions in system, just as given!

7. (Q) Should anything be added? (A) Do as we have outlined; and should this continue to show the reactions from those conditions that are affected, then the operative forces should be resorted to at once.

8. That is all the questions.

9. We are through with this reading.

Reports & Follow-up

R1. 8/23/32 EC’s letter to [4438]‘s husband:

Mr. […] …, Texas

My dear Mr. […],

The reading for Mrs. [4438] was mailed to you several days ago. I’m sure conditions have either improved a great deal or you have had to resort to more drastic measures. I was very much in hopes that she would be able to start all the treatments properly, for - from past experiences I felt the condition could be removed without an operation. The suggestion in the last reading was that if you did not see a response it would be advisable to have the operation right away. This was very disappointing to you, I am sure - but I do hope she did respond and that it has not been necessary to have the operation. Just what part of the treatments had you failed to get at first? Did you get the ash immediately from Bradley in Chicago? This is what should have done the most work, both locally and internal]y, as well as the lights. One without the other does not have the desired effect.

Be sure and let me hear from you as often as you find the opportunity, for I am quite anxious and will be very glad for you to let me know just how your wife’s condition comes along. Please know that if it is at all possible for me to be of service, that is my desire.

Sincerely, EC:GD

R2. 9/4/32 Husband’s letter:

…, Texas

Mr. Edgar Cayce; Virginia Beach, Virginia

Dear Mr. Cayce;

Your reading and letter received several days ago and very much appreciated, although the contents were somewhat disappointing. The only part of the treatment that we did not start properly was the Atomidine as we had some trouble in getting it, but we did start with the Ash and the lamp and the Iodex on the breast, eight days before the Atomidine came. We ordered it from a local druggist and it was not carried in stock at the wholesale house at Ft. Worth, so we had it reordered and as it did come when we thought it should, we wired direct to N.Y. for it and had it sent by air mail so you see we had quite a time getting it.

Now we will try and describe the condition at present. To us there seems to be quite a less amount of drainage. There is very little soreness, and no increase in swelling. But the erosions are worse, I mean by this that it is slufing away around the nipple more than it has been. If it were not for this slufing we would not be worried but this looks very bad to us, although there is not a sign of proud flesh. You say in your reading that if the discharge should become offensive. The discharge has always been offensive since we started the treatment. But does not seem to be quite as bad as it was.

She has been following the diet very closely, but has not had the desired bowel action and has been taking small doses of Dr. Hinkle pills every other day that she doesn’t take the Ash. They are a cascara compound. However she has quit this until we hear from you as we are afraid that this might interfere with the treatment.

Now Mr. Cayce I hardly know what to do, I do not want to ask for more Readings than is necessary, but feel as though we should check as soon as possible, as we are not able to have an operation and would have quite a hard time getting it done properly, and if there is any chance to avoid it we certainly want to do it. Please let us hear from you at once, what you think should be done. I am working now and will send the Ten Dollar balance on the Membership about the 10th of this month. Also please let me know what the charges are for the check Reading and I will send it as soon as possible.

Very Sincerely yours […]
