This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at his office, 322 Grafton Avenue, Dayton, Ohio, this 11th day of August, 1925, in accordance with request made by self, through her sister, Miss [4619].

Time of Reading 11:45 A. M. Dayton Savings Time. Chicago, Ill.

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, in many respects we find this body very good, yet there are those latent conditions that bring about distressing conditions in the body, especially in the functioning of certain glands in the system. Rather at specific or specified times does this condition occur. Hence we find some specific conditions arise, as it were, and then some general physical conditions is as an effect from these.

3. Now these are conditions as we find them in this body, [4816] we are speaking of. First:

4. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, this we find near normal in red blood, with the extra secretions in lymph and white blood, which at times causes a condition that becomes rather of an exaggerated condition, yet bordering on a condition of an anemia of a kind. This extra secretion at times causes distress to throat and nasal cavities, and the lungs at times, or breathing seems to be involved in same.

5. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, this we find overtaxed by these strains as are brought to these central portions of the respiratory system, for we have a lesion in the upper dorsal and in the cervicals. These assist in the trouble in the general way, in that there is the deflection in circulation through the incentive or motor forces in same, rather than of the nature that causes a lesion of depression. This rather the functioning of the gland forces, especially in nasal, bronchials, throat, and a general condition in system. Creative forces, as it were, of lymph and white blood, then, being over supplied with incentives for functioning, producing a dross on red blood system, strain on nerve energies of the body, direct functioning disturbances lungs, throat, bronchials, larynx, digestive system, liver, for these, as we find, functioning in the rebuilding of blood supply and with the over effects of portions, this causes a disturbance in these portions of body.

6. FUNCTIONING OF ORGANS THEMSELVES, the system very good. No organic condition, as we find, save as is reflex and of the functional nature as produce by the conditions as are given in the system in their functioning.

7. Then, to bring normal conditions for this body, we would have those conditions in the cervical and in the dorsal corrected through osteopathic or chiropractic adjustments, preferably that some conditions of each be used, for the muscular tissues need to be relaxed, as well as adjustments made in the segments of the system, see? These would require at least five or six.

8. To assist the functioning of the system, we would make an inhalant of this: To 4 ounces of grain alcohol, add:

Oil of Sassafras…20 minims, Oil of Peppermint…20 minims, Balsam of Tolu (first dissolved)…20 grains, Eucalyptol…15 minims, Creosote…1 minim.

Keep solution well corked and in a container twice the size of the solution, see? Shake well together (rather warm or heat by coming in contact with heat, see) and inhale the fumes into the nostrils and in lungs. Twice each day at least should this be done. This, we see, will add to the respiratory system these properties that will become stimulants to the body, without affecting digestive system by taking internally.

9. Diet should be of the nature of rebuilding red blood. Meats, beef especially. Not of the rough character, rather the lean, not too well cooked, but of the nature that will digest in the system, using Pepsins in its preparation, see? The potatoes, beans, lentils, all of the vegetable forces that induce the digestive system to expand, especially those that grow BELOW the ground will be good (tuberous natures, see?), with those of stimulants in coffees and teas. Not too much. Milk, see? Brans, and not too much of the sweets, see? except grapes or pears. These in sweets will be good for the body.

10. Do these, and we will find we will bring the normal conditions for this body, [4618].

Reports & Follow-up

R1. 8/11/25 EC’s ltr. to [4618]:

Dear Miss [4618]

Enclosed, herewith, you will find a copy of reading as gotten this morning. I trust that this will prove interesting and beneficial.

As for the suggestions for the adjustments, I would refer you to Dr. Robert B. Saxmann, 7300 Princeton Avenue. I do this, not as trying to get patients for Dr. Saxmann, but rather because he is acquainted with the work and I’m sure he will give you his diagnosis of the condition as he finds same, and will be glad to accord adjustments as will be necessary and in keeping with the condition.

As for the inhalant, I’m sure you can have this prepared at any drug store. As I understand this, the whole container is heated and not a part poured out.

I certainly hope you will receive good results by following out the suggestions and I trust that you’ll let us hear from you from time to time.

Yours very truly, Edgar Cayce EC:GD

Dear Miss [4619]

We were unable to get the reading for your sister at the appointed time. Whether it was that she was not at the address given, or that the address was insufficient for us to locate her, we cannot say, but we are asking that we make this appointment again for Tuesday Morning at the same hour, on the 11th, and ask that you give us the address a little bit better if it’s possible, giving us house number if this is the home or residence, or give us room number if it’s an office. I certainly hope that we shall be able to get this and that it can be of service.
