This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at his office, 115 West 35th Street, Virginia Beach, Va., this 24th day of January, 1927, in accordance with request made through Mr. [953].

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

Time of Reading 4:30 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. Chicago, Ill.

1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with suggestions for the relief and improvement of same.

2. EC: Yes, we have had THIS body here before.

3. Now, we find the greater cause of disturbance as is produced in the system now is from centralization of those conditions in the weakness of the body - as has been outlined - through the digestive system, and the tendency for the stomach to give the body trouble, which - with the overflow of the blood supply to the hypogastric and pneumogastric plexus - brings about that as produces throughout the capillary circulation that feeling or appearance of chilly and hot sensations, which brings the circulation from the extremities, so that the body suffers with cold hands and feet - yet seemingly flushed in face and over the body - with congestion in throat, bronchials and larynx.

4. To overcome these conditions, we would cleanse the system by using a mild cathartic - preferably that of salts, followed with that of Petrolagar, see? (plain). At least one bottle of the Petrolagar should be taken (the plain Petrolagar), a teaspoonful at the time, morning and evening - following a large dose of Epsom Salts, see?

5. Use also as an inhalant those properties as would be found in this:

6. To four (4) ounces of pure grain alcohol, add:

Eucalyptol…20 minims, Benzol…10 minims, Benzoin…5 minims, Balsam of Fir…5 minims, Rectified Oil of Turp…5 minims, Tolu, Tincture of - in solution…40 minims.

7. Keep this in a glass container at least twice the size of the quantity, with glass stopper. Shake solution together and inhale through the nostrils and through the mouth, at least three or four times each day, and WHENEVER there is tendency to cough - which is found early of morning and as the body retires, which shows how the unequalized circulation is shown throughout the system.

8. Well, too, would the body either take those of the adjustments for the cerebro-spinal system or of a very specific and very rigid exercise in evenings and mornings.

9. If the exercises are taken, rather than the adjustments given by the chiropractic or osteopathic forces, we would use in the EVENING those exercises for the lower portion of the body, from the hips down. Of MORNING, those from the hips up - circular motion of the hips, stooping and bending, but the bending more in the circular motion of the body, see? so that we give each vertebra, each center in the cerebro-spinal system, that laxness as is necessary for the correct operation or action, as it were - or, as to describe it, that each nerve center may have its proper connection with the cerebro-spinal nerve system as to receive the proper incentives from the action of the brain forces, and the assimilation of foods in system - and WATCH THE DIET, that we do not have the over taxation to the digestive system.

10. Do that.

Reports

Reports & Follow-up

R1. 2/28/27 Mrs. [583]‘s letter:

Dear Mr. Cayce:-

Well I suppose you are back from your trip to Florida. Glad you encountered no hurricanes or such while there. I should keep my grip packed and have a ticket back to Virginia if I were there at any time. Even that might not be sufficient. Would you say the ‘Halycon’ days were over?

Regarding my last reading which I am returning herewith. I’m not so sure that it is my reading. Most of it seems entirely foreign to my condition especially the reference to congestion in throat, bronchials and larynx. I am entirely free of cough and am not bothered with cold hands or feet. Can’t see that I need exercises. My trouble is the other way. I need rest. I am continually on the move.

Speaking of moving. You will notice my new address. Have been here a month now. Have been very busy naturally and one reason I haven’t written you are this. The last few days I have had severe pain and soreness in my right side in the region of my appendix (that was) and I have had to slow up some.

Could you ask some direct questions as to whether I have cancerous tendencies, whether in danger of another attack of peritonitis, whether an operation would be advisable. I have taken a number of osteopathic treatments as you advised in a previous reading and I believe they helped me much at least I felt better there-after. Just why is there a very sensitive place in my right side. Were my intestines injured in operation of appendix? Am I to continue on beef-juice diet and are there any foods to be eliminated. Does continual use of Petrolatum help my case? I’m not much at asking questions but these suggestion may assist you.

Hope this finds yourself and family in good health and spirits. Best wishes and kindest regards to all.

Sincerely, Mrs. [583]

R2. 4/1/27 Ltr. verifying appointment: “At the time you gave the rdg. that I ret’d (583-6) I was at the neighbor’s two doors from here, and my sister was there too. It may have been most anybody in that case as far as I can see… [953] is in Kopperl, going to stick to the finish, be it a glorious one or otherwise (oil well, etc). I can only hope.”

R3. 4/27/27 Mrs. [538]‘s letter:

Dear Mr. Cayce:- Thot maybe you had forgotten the existence of we ordinary mortals in this part of the hemisphere but evidently my own fault for I should have answered you sooner. Thot I gave it plenty of time tho and couldn’t be sure that I’d be home until I did answer. As long as I’m writing again I will try to set down a few direct questions that may help.

Have I a tendency to cancer, if not why the disturbance and itching of moles and beauty spots at times?

What ails my kidneys, why should I have a pain in that part of back when I wake up having lain on my back for sometime?

I seem to become exasperated over trifles sometimes is this nervousness or do I need to control my temper more?

The pain in my right side, is this other than my ovary? Sometimes I fear intestinal obstruction account of adhesions and operation. Have I cause to worry about this?

Can my uterus be righted other than by operation and the ulcers cause by the present condition be healed other than by cauterizing?

Is it my condition and lack of energy that causes me to be melancholy?

That ought to hold you for a while. Next time you won’t ask for questions will you? Don’t dress it up, give it to me as you get it, will you? The enclosed check isn’t much but then I haven’t much anyway especially now after moving and buying everything urgently needed. Kindest regards you yourself and all,

Sincerely, [583]
