This psychic reading given by Edgar Cayce at the office of the Association, Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 7th day of January, 1942, in accordance with request made by the self - Mrs. [808], Active Member of the Ass”n for Research & Enlightenment, Inc.

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

Washington Time of Reading Sanitarium & 10:55 to 11:05 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. Hospital, Room 195, Tacoma Park, Wash., D.C.

1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with suggestions for further corrective measures; answering the questions, as I ask them:

2. EC: Yes, we have the body, [808]; this we have had before.

3. As we find, in the present there is rather an acute condition from cold and congestion, combined with a period when the glands have been disturbed by the excess of eliminations in some directions.

4. While conditions show improvement, we would in the present - under the direction of a physician - give a CRC pellet (calomel, rhubarb and colocynth); this to stir the activity of the liver for eliminations of urea as an excess or dross indicated there.

5. This, to be sure, will weaken the body for a day.

6. Then have excess quantities of Vitamin B-1, even given as an aid hypodermically would be the manners to bring the quicker normal resistances for the body.

7. Then we would keep rather close to those things that have been suggested, - in the exercise, the stimulating of eliminations; but being very mindful to keep the feet dry. As oft as practical, or regularly, exercise in the sunshine - when this is possible.

8. When the massages or hydrotherapy treatments are given, use some of the ultra-violet light - if the days are dark or if there is a lack of exercise in the open.

9. These as we find would bring the bettered conditions for this body in the present.

10. Ready for questions.

11. (Q) Does this occasional achiness in my body still mean that the “flu” germ is in my system? (A) As indicated, this is rather the after effect. The activity of the liver ducts has been rather choked, and these properties as indicated, in the proper proportions administered by the physician, would be that element to correct same.

12. (Q) Should I continue with the directions in my last Rdg; hydrotherapy, Calcios, Adiron, Atomidine, etc., after I get over the effects of this germ? (A) As has been indicated.

13. (Q) Wouldn’t it be better for me to get up and move around, walking outdoors, etc., rather than go to bed when I get tired and weak? (A) Not until after these activities have been completed and there is the gaining of strength and vitality, as we have indicated here.

Do these things as outlined, for better conditions of this body.

14. We are through with this reading.

Reports & Follow-up

R1. 1/15/42 Ltr. to EC from [808]:

Dear Edgar:

Have been intending to write you every day but have so much to write decided I better wait until I had more strength.

First of all thanks a lot for the reading - It was wonderful! My doctor refused to give me the CRC as, as I told you once before, he doesn’t approve of these readings. I will tell you about his objection sometime later as it takes quite a bit of detail. Anyway, [2784] asked the druggist about it and gave it to me himself. I was certainly sick that night (still at the hospital) but the next morning although I was weak, I felt much better. The doctor had been giving me the B1 intravenously or hypodermically as indicated in the reading, so I had no trouble along that line. I stayed at the hospital until Saturday and then [2784] brought me home. I had 4 hypodermics of B1, 3CCC [cc’s] each time. I figured that would give me a start and then I could take it by mouth. I am now taking 6 a day of Whites Vitamin B complex, taking ultra-violet every day, and also following directions given in the reading I had at the beach in October. Do you think that is alright. I will take the Hydrotherapy treatments twice a month and take the ultra violet at home. Then the Atomidine, etc. as indicated. I am feeling better but seem to take such a long time in getting better but seem to take such a long time in getting my strength back. I haven’t been back to office as I haven’t felt strong enough but do hope I will be well enough by next Monday to go back. I had to laugh at [2784] - He told my doctor that he wasn’t such a bad doctor after all as he had been giving me everything you had indicated in the reading with the exception of the CRC. I think the doctor sort of resented that. However, he admits it is miraculous but questions the source and refuses to have anything to do with it. Well, that upsets me terribly and neither one of us discussed it further as he was definitely set in his opinion and needless to tell you mine! Anyway I will tell you all about that later. Do you think I should continue the Vitamin B hypodermically or do you think I’m getting enough now by mouth. I don’t want to do a thing that would deviate from the reading but the way I read it I presume it is alright to continue it now by mouth. If you interpret it differently, please let me know.

By the way I will send you a check for the reading sometime next week. Also owe you for my last dues and will pay that at the same time.

[2784]‘s step-mother [2567] passed away Sunday night or rather Monday morning at 12:20. It was a blessing as she has been suffering so terribly and it was so awful to see her suffering like that. The funeral was yesterday but I couldn’t go. No matter how long you expect it coming it still is a shock when it happens. Although I was thankful that she was out of pain.

R2. 3/17/42 Ltr. to EC from [808]:

I’m ashamed to tell you but I still feel pretty awful. I think the only thing that keeps me going is the thought that I will snap out of this suddenly like I did one time before and each day I think maybe tomorrow will be the change. I have been following my two readings and the other day [2784] asked me to start with the Tonicine and take it for ten days

• He thinks that helped me so much before and now I’m taking it. Several mornings I didn’t come to work I was sick all the night before and felt so awful that I just couldn’t make it, but outside of that I have been dragging myself to the office every morning wondering if I can make it through the day or not and praying that I will. I just quit telling everybody how I feel and I know people think I’m crazy the way I act sometimes. However, as I said, I feel this cycle should be about over and I’m hoping and praying that it will end soon.

Have been praying mornings and before dinners as indicated [in 281-60] and several times have forgotten and felt just awful about it. I do try to remember though.

R3. 3/18/42 Ltr. to EC from [808]:

Dear Edgar:

I don’t quite know how to begin this letter. First of all I just hate myself for giving in like this, but thought I would write this letter to you and explain a little bit how I feel and then let you decide if I need a reading or not. If you think I do and you can give me an appointment on a Saturday afternoon I would appreciate it a lot.

I have been feeling pretty awful but know it is glandular and have felt that it is just a cycle that I am going through and would pass off as I told you in one of my letters the other day. However, I haven’t been sleeping properly and as a result my whole body feels utterly exhausted. My legs ache, my back feels as though some one has been beating me, and my arms are so heavy I can’t raise them without effort. Some days I feel better than other days but even on those days the least thing that I do I tire so easily and then I seem to start downhill again. I can’t seem to get myself together and most of the time I’m bordering on hysteria and of course won’t let myself do that because I know that won’t help!! I’ve been taking those shots and they have ordinarily picked me up, but don’t seem to have any results from them. [2784] said this morning though that he doesn’t think I have been taking them as frequently as I should under the circumstances. I’m going home tonight and take a sleeping pill at 6:00 in order to get some sleep, so probably will feel better tomorrow and hate myself for telling you all this. I haven’t told anyone but [2784] and [1935] and have been trying to fight it through. However, if from what I am telling you now you think it best to have a reading, I would appreciate your giving it to me. If you think it is just a cycle and will pass over, well I will fight it through.

Will send you the questions if and when you decide.

Love from us both

R4. 3/21/42 She and [2784] phoned verifying appointment, submitting questions.

B2. 1/5/42 “I’m crying ‘Help’ again and it seems as tho you are the only one that can ever help me!!

“The Sat. before Xmas I started with a sore throat & ached all over & presuming I had a TOUCH of the grippe I stayed in bed (except to wait on myself) & gargled, drank fruit juice, etc. Well, the Friday after Xmas my throat seemed better but physically I still felt terrible. [2784] called Dr. Wolohon & he suggested that I stay at the SAN. for a couple of days. Well, to make a long story short I have been here for 10 days & altho at times I feel better & get up & sit around, I feel weak, tired, & then I start aching again & feel as tho I’m starting all over. I have no temperature, no cold, but feel weak, tired & last night I started to ache again & feel miserable this morning. It seems as tho you are the only one that can ever help me get on my feet. I hadn’t asked for a reading before this because I’ve been following my last reading - It helped me so much before I got this ‘germ’ that I wanted to continue doing those things. Do you think you could give me a Check Rdg.? I hate to ask - I know you are so busy with urgent cases & know you weren’t feeling so well yourself. However, I don’t think I’m getting better & have been quite patient UNTIL NOW. I must admit to you that I’m getting QUITE DISGUSTED & want to get home. I was supposed to go home last night & felt pretty good after my hydrotherapy treatment yesterday morning. Sat up for about 2 hrs., then got tired & went to bed. Yesterday afternoon got up again & started feeling awful - when I went back to bed commenced this aching again. Do you think you could give me a Ck. Rdg.? I would appreciate it so much. [2784] knows nothing about how I felt last night when he left as he feels I’m better & inasmuch as I want to go home & he halfway promised to take me home tonight. However, I’ll be alone at home & don’t know whether that will be advisable or not. Anyway, I’ll either be here in the Washington Sanitarium bldg., Room 195, or at home, etc. You will find me!!

I’m taking a hydrotherapy treatment every day. Afterwards I always feel better for a couple of hours. They give me an injection once a day & have been giving me something for the aches. Dr. Wolohon ordered something to pep me up but only took this one day as I had a very bad reaction from this.

We have a Xmas present for you, but me getting sick sort of upset everything & [2784] just hasn’t had time to send it. You will get it tho, and I’m sure you don’t mind if it’s late.”

B3. 1/6/42 Wire to husband: Advise [808]‘s address for reading tomorrow morning 10:30-11:30. [He phoned questions, saying she was still at the hospital.]

1. Does this occasional achiness in my body still mean that the “flu” germ is in my system? (If the Rdg. indicates it’s the result of the flu:)
2. Wouldn’t it be better for me to get up and move around, walking outdoors, etc., rather than go to bed when I get tired or weak?
3. Should I continue with the directions in my last rdg.; hydrotherapy, Calcios, Adiron, Atomidine, etc., after I get over the effects of this germ?
4. Is there any way I could fortify my system against the flu, colds and the like?
5. There is a sensitiveness between my last two teeth on the right side of my jaw. Is there anything there causing that? The dentist says he can see nothing.
6. Please ask any other questions that it would seem desirable to ask.
