This psychic reading given by Edgar Cayce at his office, 35th Street, Virginia Beach, Va., this 22nd day of September, 1925, in accordance with request made by self - Mr. [953].

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

Time of Reading … Street, 12:00 Noon - Eastern Standard Time. Chicago, Illinois.

1. GC: You will give the present physical condition of this body, with further suggestions for the relief of same. You will give particular attention to the weakness in legs and across back and hips, telling the cause of same and what will relieve same. Also you will give if there should be any change in the medicine in any way since the last reading, how many more adjustments the body should have, and what may, if anything, restore the sense of smell.

2. EC: Now, we find that the general physical conditions of the body are steadily on the improve. While there is the accentuated condition of weakness in various portions of body from time to time, this we find rather that of the system attempting to create an equilibrium in its functioning throughout, and the weakened condition in the lumbar and sacral region is but the reflex or the retraction of the conditions as have been in the system and causing the disturbance to same. This is not that of a weakening of the organisms of this portion of body, but we will find that with the application of the Radio-Appliance, as given, this will assist in creating an equilibrium in the body, see? This will also add to the system those vibrations bringing again the reaction of the sensory system as relating to the sense of smell.

3. All medicinal properties may be diminished half; that is, either half quantity or half as often taken, see?

4. The adjustments should be taken occasionally, once - twice - per month, that the body may keep on the even keel for its rejuvenation, as it were, in the whole system, see?

5. Well that the Appliance be kept for many hours, or whenever the body is resting or reclining, especially, well this be attached to the body. Do that, see?

6. We are through for the present.

Reports

Reports & Follow-up

R1. 9/22/25 EC’s ltr. to [953]:

I was certainly very sorry to have to delay so long before we were able to get this reading for you. I certainly hope and trust that it has not proven detrimental to you in any way having to wait. I would judge, from what the reading says, that you should have fine results from this little battery that Mr. Brown was to make for you. I saw Mr. Brown in Cincinnati, on my way over, and had a letter from him to-day, telling me he had shipped one of the appliances to you. I suppose he told you about how it’s to be used. You simply place the battery in a container full of ice and water. Then attach one of wires, or plates on wire, to your wrist first, then to your ankle on the opposite side of the body. This is to be put on when you lie down to rest, and if it remains four or five hours, there will be no harm from same. I am sure after the first few days of this you’ll be able to see some results from it; that is, if it works anything like the others that have been given. In three or four weeks, we will want to change this, but I will have Mr. Brown to prepare the thing for you and send it to you. You know you do not put anything in the water except the ice and you want sufficient ice to last four or five hours anyway.

R2. 9/26/25 [953]‘s ltr. to EC:

Chicago,

Mr. Edgar Cayce, 35th Street, Virginia Beach, Va.

My dear Mr. Cayce:-

I have your letter of the 22nd with reading enclosed.

Very glad to hear from you and very much pleased with the reading. Glad to know that you are getting settled nicely in your new home. I am in hopes that you may meet with the success that we feel will come to you there.

I have not received the battery that Mr. Brown, Cincinnati, was to send me. Had a letter from him last week stating that he had mailed it but it has not showed up.

B2. 9/8/25 Ltr.: “I would like to know particularly about weakness in my legs and across my back and hips. Also if I shall change medicine in any way fr. last rdg. prescription, and shall I have any more of the adjustments. What if anything will restore sense of smell? I never rec’d the instrument for vibrating purposes we talked about while in Dayton. If you tell me how it’s made I can probably set up one for my use.” [He requested a Physical Rdg. for Mrs. [206].]
