This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at his home on Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 17th day of January, 1938, in accordance with request made by the self - Miss [528], Active Member of the Ass”n for Research & Enlightenment, Inc.

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

Time of Reading 11:25 to 11:35 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. …, Ky. (Physical Suggestion)

1. EC: Yes, we have the body, [528]; this we have had before.

2. As we find, there has been the inclination for too severe a taxation to the body without taking those precautions to keep the body alkalized sufficiently. And the leaving off of sufficient of the corrections osteopathically to keep the conditions in the cerebrospinal system from leaking as it were in the circulation has caused the body to become disturbed with cold, congestion and the effect of poisons more in the system.

3. We would rest from so much taxation. This does not mean to go to bed, or not work at play. But keep in the open, active to be sure, but make those applications; by the manipulations osteopathically, by the deep inhalations from the charred keg with brandy in same - this not so much to cause irritation to the throat but sufficiently to break up the congestions.

4. Use the Wet Cell Appliance - this we would keep.

5. We would take internally the oils to carry on the eliminations sufficiently. A little Bromo-Quinine would be helpful, though it will tend to make the body feel the irritations from the effect of the Quinine in same by roaring, by an achey feeling even more than has been experienced - but keep the feet dry.

6. And in the applications by the osteopath, make some corrections in the lumbar and sacral areas, as well as those where the indications are in the upper dorsal and cervical for the soreness that exists.

7. In the use of the oil rubs, these should not be so much as to irritate the skin, but keep sufficiently that the body may absorb the effects of the Olive Oil in particular. Do not use too much of the rub alcohol, as this tends to dry when continuously used - unless more of the Olive Oil is absorbed by the skin.

8. Do these as we find for the better conditions of this body.

9. Ready for questions.

10. (Q) Just how should the Bromo-Quinine be taken? (A) Swallow it!

11. (Q) I mean, how often and how much? (A) Sufficient to feel the relaxation of same. Two tablets taken before retiring and before arising. This taken for about two days or three days should be sufficient. Two tablets upon retiring, two tablets about an hour before arising.

12. We are through with this Reading.

Reports & Follow-up

R1. 1/23/38 GD’s letter to Miss [528]: “This clipping I cut from our Norfolk paper yesterday, as it occurred to me that you might want to write to the young man and tell him your experience. If so, I’ll be glad to send him literature. Of course, as you know, we do not ‘solicit’ Readings, but we are only too glad to arrange a Sponsored Reading (by one of our Active Members) for a case of this kind, provided we have the sincere desire and seeking on the part of the individual and those responsible - or those who have the ability to follow out the Reading. So, the best approach would be from a person who has had experience with a similar condition - such as yourself. If you write him, let me know and I’ll send some literature about Mr. Cayce’s work for him to study before deciding.

“I want to remind you, too, that all money you and your family have paid to the Association during the past year may be deducted on your family income tax return. The Association is a philanthropic educational research organization, and all money donated may be counted as a gift to charity, etc.

“With kindest regards, and trusting you are on the ‘up and up’ continually, I am…”

Farmer Faces Certain Death Reconciled to Fate of Being Petrified Alive

Wheeling, W. Va., Jan. 22 - (UP) - Reconciled to his fate, Ogle Neely, 36, of Howard, laughed and joked although he faces slow but certain death because his flesh is turning to “leather.”

His arms to his elbows and his legs to the knees already have been “petrified” by the rare disease of scleroderma, from which specialists at Johns Hopkins Hospital say he is suffering. Doctors say they know neither the cause nor the cure for the disease which has attacked Neely in a worse form than ever before recorded.

When the Marshall County farmer was only 23 years old, the ailment first appeared in 1924 and started at the tips of his fingers and toes. Each year it spread a little more.

Now he is unable to work and he must live on $20 a month relief funds. Although his legs are deadened, he walks four miles to the nearest grocery once a week.

Neely is reconciled to his fate, Byron Pipes, relief investigator, believes.

R2. 5/2/38 She obtained 528-16, a Mental-Spiritual rdg., which also gave physical advice. See subsequent correspondence in re her complete cure under 528-16 Reports.
