This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at his office, 115 West 35th Street, Virginia Beach, Va., this 29th day of April, 1926, in accordance with request made by her sister, Mrs. [4329].

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

Time of Reading 10:50 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. …, Ohio.

1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with suggestions for the further improvement of same, and you will answer any questions I may ask you regarding this body.

2. EC: Yes, we have the body here. This we have had before. Now, while we find many of the physical conditions of the body accentuated in some respects, still we find that, with persistency and consistency in the carrying out of those conditions for the body, in the way and manner as has been outlined, we will bring the better conditions for the physical forces of the body.

3. While the osteopathic adjustments are being made, the medicinal properties may be diminished to one-fourth of the NUMBER of times as would be taken, see? and this will give the incentive in the functioning of the system and prevent an accentuation of the conditions, especially the nervousness in the portions of system that shows the tremor and the action of the nerve ganglions regaining their equilibrium. There may be expected some retraction through this changed condition, for, as we find, in the adjustments it is not possible to make ALL at once, else this would so overtax the system as to throw the whole nervous system into such a state of excitement as to be very detrimental to the whole body; yet, with those conditions as have been outlined, with the applicator and with the massage and the osteopathic adjustments, with the medicinal properties eased along, we will find this will bring the normal forces to the body, as much as may be expected under the conditions under which the body has labored for so many years, see?

4. Then, follow in that way as has been given, for it will be found that the appliance and the adjustments tend to make the body rest easier. Do that then, in the way as has been outlined. Do not become discouraged, but know that that which will bring the body to that position and condition of relief from the suffering is being applied, and that the reactions MUST occur, yet the better condition WILL prevail in the physical forces of the body.

5. We are through with this reading.

Reports & Follow-up

R1. 6/2/26 Sister [4329]‘s letter: ”…I regret so much that I could not acknowledge the receipt of Mrs. [4848]‘s reading, sending the enclosed check last week, but I was tired out with traveling and then found sister [4848] very ill from a recent attack of tonsillitis and cold. She wishes me to tell you that she had to discontinue your medicine while dosing with cold remedies, also now, while her old doctor is trying to prevent an acute spell of kidney trouble; but as soon as all imminent danger has passed, she wants to resume, and will take it once a day instead of four times as your recent letter advises. She had started to improve a little before the tonsillitis, and we are pleased that the doctor finds, even now, less albumen in her urine than formerly (perhaps I told you that she has chronic Bright’s Disease). The absence of so much albumen is surely encouraging. She still wears the Radium pad and is taking osteopathic treatments twice a week. She sleeps much better now, and has been for several weeks. That, also, is encouraging. She has only two or three ounces of your medicine left. Do you think she should have the prescription filled again? I shall keep you informed of changes from time to time. We are so glad that the Lord pointed you out to us…”

R2. 6/8/26 EC’s letter: ”…I was certainly very glad to have yours of the 2nd. I am certainly sorry to know that Mrs. [4848] has been troubled with an attack of tonsillitis. I am in hopes that she has entirely recovered from this. I am glad, however, to know that she had started to improve, and I am sure that she will want to continue with the treatment. From the long standing condition, it is of course going to be necessary for her to be very patient, but very persistent with the suggestions as were given, both with the medicinal properties, the applicator, and the osteopathic treatments, for, as would be indicated by the improvement shown, she is on the right road and it will only be necessary to check up occasionally and see that she does not become over stimulated in some one direction, and this of course we shall be very glad to do whenever she feels that she would like to know how the reading says she is getting along. Yes, she should have the medicinal properties prepared again…”

R3. 7/29/26 Sister [4329]‘s letter: ”…Over four weeks ago, when sister [4848] had about recovered from effects of tonsillitis and we had prepared another filling of your prescription, she contracted vegetable poisoning (when in garden) and had to go to doctor again for immediate help. After the swelling and eruption got better - in face, right arm and hands - the left arm got infected somehow and we had blood poisoning to fight. With poulticing, her arm is almost healed now and she is beginning to feel better of effects. She thinks your medicine did her a lot of good and will resume taking it, at once. She had to suspend osteopathic treatments, fearing to scatter the poison still more through her system. She thinks they did her much good but for above reason and shortage of cash, feels that she cannot resume, for awhile. She took 26 altogether. She sleeps so much better and has less dizziness and other distress in her head. We are all so grateful for it. The Radium pad she continues to use…”

R4. 11/26/26 Sister [4329]‘s letter: ”…My sister, Mrs. [4848], who is again bedfast, has decided that she wants another reading. First, I want to tell you that the three courses of treatment which you advised - osteopath, medicine, and Radium applicator worked wonders for her! Last week she sent a urine specimen to a doctor and he said no albumen was present. Two or three times during the summer he said the same. He seemed surprised, but we did not tell him why. Sister [4848] would still be better, but she always works beyond her strength - then gets so she can’t sleep enough and nerves go bad. She is not discreet about her eating either, so she is down again, suffering with stomach, liver and heart distresses - with something like rheumatic trouble all through her body. If it suits you, will you please give her the reading before mine. Hers is the more urgent…”
