This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at his office, 115 West 35th Street, Virginia Beach, Va., this 18th day of January, 1928, in accordance with request made by self and Mr. [341].

Time of Reading 3:40 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. …, Va.

1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, giving the cause of the pain in using the Lysol, and if the pills are harmful and should be used. You will answer any questions I may ask you regarding same.

2. EC: Yes. In the use of the Lysol, this has been used too strong. This should be reduced to one to twenty, and then this would be found to be more beneficial - for too strong a solution, to be sure, causes too much irritation or burning sensation. Preferably that under the present conditions, and if the pills are to be continued (while these are not harmful, these create more of other conditions in the system), use only the other solution as injection - but use a piece of resin (rosin)* to chew on occasionally. Bite off a piece not quite as large as a pea - green English pea - and chew same. This may be done two to three to four times each day, see? Ready for questions.

3. (Q) Take the resin (rosin) instead of the pills? (A) Instead of the Lysol injection! Keep the pills. We would occasionally use charcoal tablets for the digestion also. Let them dissolve on the tongue, see? These may be taken one a day, or one every second or third day.

The condition is on the improve. Just be careful. When there is found that irritation comes, REDUCE the dose, as is given here, you see. These injections are as antiseptics - the Lysol in this strength too strong, but this may be left off, provided the other is kept more often, used each day, especially of mornings.

4. We are through for the present.

• [ros’in (roz’in; -‘n), n. [From RESIN.] The hard resin, amber-colored to almost black, left after distilling off the volatile oil of turpentine and used in varnishes and soaps, on violin bows, in driers for oils, etc. - v.t. To rub with rosin.]

Reports & Follow-up

R1. 4/1/28 Friend [341]‘s letter: “[849] is still having a hard time. I hope that he will come back to your work for help but if the doctors continue to mess things up, he is going to have a hard time. He has had some trouble with his knee swelling [synovitis?] lately and the doctors have done little to help it.”
