This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at Tutwiler Hotel, Birmingham, Alabama, this 4th day of December, 1922.

[Edgar Cayce; Frank E. Mohr, Conductor; (?), Steno. Mr. [5710].]

Time of Reading Unknown. …, Alabama.

1. EC: Yes, we have the body. Now, we find this body is very good throughout. There is, however, some abnormal conditions, especially, do we find this in that part of the vital force necessary to keep the body at its highest or a high state of efficiency for it, at times, has over the body, the tired, dull feelings from apparently no reason, or one hard to define or outline. Save the conditions effected over various portions of the body, the body is very good, but we would find by the ridding of these conditions the body would be more vital in its everyday actions in those elements the mind forces often put forth.

2. Now, these are conditions as we find them in this body, [5710] we are speaking of, present in this room: In the circulation, we find this very good, yet in the forces necessary to create the perfect elimination through all the forces of elements in the make up of the blood, there is being carried some form of impurities that cause this condition over the system for it leaves in some of the emunctory glands, those elements that should be eliminated through the regular channels. We find in this force or in this body, in that rather the unusual force, that is, mineral forces are needed in the system where ordinarily it is vegetable forces needed in the system, especially in the blood supplying forces to produce the perfect elimination throughout the whole body.

3. The nerve forces in the body in the control of these, we find the body is very good, but when he does get high tempered he is high tempered, you see. The action of the sensory organism over the system is shown in the forces at and about the plexus governing the eliminating forces from the sensory organs themselves, hence the condition that, from time to time, there is the effect produced in the functioning of these organs, only a reflex or a warning, as it were, of the condition existing in the system, - not an organic condition or one to be feared. It creates a tendency at times to a clearing of the throat, of full mucus and the burning in and about the eyes and the buzzing sound in the ear, especially in the evening, and the dryness of the tongue, you see, at times. These are only warnings, you see, of a condition that might be, if not corrected, and that elements needed should be used either directly or those forces necessary to produce the difference in the circulation applied to the body.

4. In the functioning of the organs themselves, in the brain’s forces and action of the body, these are very good. Trained forces are evident throughout the whole functioning of all portions of this. Through the throat or through portions of the facial structure, has been some trouble with teeth. Some troubles have been brought from this condition as they were absorbed in the system from this. This has affected the salivary glands and some forces are carried to the digestive action, where first the blood picked these up, you see. The lungs themselves are good. The digestive forces through the stomach and intestinal tract, only those of both elements from the condition in the blood and that as brought into the system by insufficient lactic forces, so we have at times with this dull feeling a full stomach. No organic conditions through these. Through the intestinal forces with the condition we find the Peyerian [Peyer’s] glands are excited at times to over-functioning, hence the condition through that portion of the body at times with the over-charged and functioning of the kidneys and the organs of the pelvic region. These are well taken care of for the condition, as the body is above the normal forces found in many.

5. To give the more perfect elimination and to add that vital force necessary to keep this body, [5710] we are speaking of, to its high point and effort or vital forces with these conditions, we would take in to the system, that, that would give the necessary force to the body and take along the whole length of the spine, especially at the 5th to 7th cervical and 1st and to the 6th dorsal, but over the whole length, vibrations from an electric driven vibrator. As for the tonic for the system -

Gum Camphor…20 grains, Sulfate of Morphia…3 grains, Muriate of Iron…30 grains.

These would be well mixed and made into thirty pellets or pills, one be taken every evening, see. The vibrations would be kept up until the body feels physically fit throughout. It is only to assist all nerve centers along the spine to alleviate and to eliminate properly.

6. Make a weak solution of Prickly Ash bark, that is, one to 20 parts, steep well, make the tea and add three parts of salt. Use this as a wash and rinse the mouth once or twice a week. We would relieve the gums and give to the glands in the throat, the inside of the mouth and the tonsils, a new vibratory force. Do that as we have given.

7. (Q) Mr. Cayce, the body wants to be sure about the number of grains of Sulfate of Morphia you prescribed. How many grains of this should be used? (A) We have given these and will only be less than one-tenth of a grain to each dose.

Reports

Reports & Follow-up

R1. 4/11/23 Letter to Mr. Frank E. Mohr: “Mr. Cayce’s treatment was of great benefit to me. I did not take the prescription, as it contained morphine, and I have such a horror of becoming an addict that I was unwilling to take the slightest risk. I therefore left that off, but I did take the vibrations and I feel immensely benefitted. In fact, I think that I am in perfect condition. Mrs. [5709] and Miss [4777] have both been benefitted, and the other two ladies here [[4704] and [4882]?], whom I know that he treated, seem to be in splendid shape.

“When do you expect Mr. Cayce to return to Alabama? I would be glad if you would give me his Texas address, as I have a friend in New Orleans who would like to consult him there, if he passes through soon, or who, if he does not, would perhaps like to write him.”

R2. 4/12/24 Letter: “I am most interested in the nature of your book, ‘Psychic Phenomena’ [[3744] series] and I am enclosing check for $1.25, with the request that you have a copy sent me.”

R3. 8/4/27 Letter: “I was very much pleased, through receipt of the prospectus of the [A.N.I.] to hear of you, and to get the impression that you are succeeding in establishing the institution you have desired to found. I am glad to send you my check for $15 for membership. Please be kind enough to send me a book of application blanks for readings.”
