This psychic reading given by Edgar Cayce at the Phillips Hotel, Dayton, Ohio, this 18th day of June, 1923, in accordance with request made by self - Mrs. [147].

Present: Edgar Cayce; Linden Shroyer, Conductor; Fay Autry, Steno. Dr. Jacob H. Farrand (?), Mr. [287] (?) and others (?).

TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here. We have had this before, you see. Now we find the conditions are a great deal better throughout the whole system at the present time, better than it was when we had it last, even. All of the forces in this body toward the elimination and the adjusting of the physical forces are being and have been corrected, you see. The condition as we find through the region of the centers governing the flow of the circulation to the sensory organism, especially, those to the sense of hearing we find, save in head, the correct vibrations in these to give the vibrations that overcome the condition in the system.
2. With the change that has come in the general physical condition of the body we would, at the present time, give that vibration necessary to produce within the vital forces of the system those vibrations that will overcome the condition as produced, that is, in the second cervical at present. Use then, this:
3. To one gallon and a half of rain water, preferably in a glass container, add this: [Wet Cell Appliance]

   Plain charcoal....................1 lb.,
Heavy sea salt....................1 lb.,
Copper Sulphate...................1 lb.,
Sulphuric Acid, C.P...............1 oz.,
Zinc uncut........................6 drams.

4. This solution would charge itself be [it?] must be charged to give the correct vibration, and at the same time, to gain from the solution in its own vibration created by these elements being added together. While this then is being charged, there will be within the solution being charged, a one pound bottle of iodine, either suspended or laying in solution, glass corked. Give the vibration of low voltage and high amperage until the discharge from the battery so formed gives off at least five and one half (5 1/2) ohms. The poles now would both be of heavy copper preferably held in place by a piece of board or wood suspended across the top, the small wires attached to each of these poles and have a small plate attached to each wire, one end of wires attached to plate, and one end of wires attached to poles. Let one pole have the plate of copper, the other, the opposite or negative pole, the plate of silver, see. When attached to the body, one would be attached at the 3rd and 4th cervical now, the other to the opposite side of body from which this may be attached either to left or right ankle. After the solution gives off voltage lower than two ohms have recharged in the same manner, see.
5. (When recharged each time the poles and wires and everything except the glass container and the one pound bottle of Iodine are to be changed, see. Made up in the same manner, but have new supply.)
6. Be well that this be used at least thirty minutes each evening before retiring, that the body may have the reaction from this vibration in the resting of the physical body, so that the body will produce through its own nerve energy and vibration that which will affect the hearing in its proper form, see.
7. Be well if at the 3rd and 4th or at least once each evening in a week, let the change in the place of vibration be changed from ankle to the upper portion of the trunk part of body midway between the umbilicus and the breast bone. Once each week this occurs. Each other evening it will be attached to the cervical and the ankle. In the once each week will be at the center of body and the cervical. Do that, and we will find we will bring the vibration to the tentacles of the nerve system sufficient to carry the circulation properly to the body and rejuvenate the nerves of the ear proper to receive vibrations sufficient for the hearing in the right side to become nearly normal. Do that as we have given.
8. (Q) How must this battery be charged, Mr. Cayce?
   (A) With low amperage and high voltage from direct battery vibrations used to charge batteries and until the ohmage from this battery at least reaches five and one-half ohms.
9. (Q) Must the battery be charged from a storage battery or direct from a charging outfit.
   (A) We have just given it. Do as we have given.
10. (Q) In applying to the body, should the hands be insulated and how?
    (A) No.
11. (Q) Should the wires or poles be left in the solution when not in use?
    (A) They may be. The poles should be of heavy copper. The small wires, whether attached or disattached, should not come in contact with each other when not attached to the body.
12. (Q) Should the chiropractic treatments be kept up?
    (A) These would only be given every other week to make the perfect adjustments as the change is given in the system. They are necessary to keep the correct vibrations in order but only given every other week. Vibrations from the battery each evening for thirty minutes just before retiring.

BACKGROUND

1. 4/18/23 She obtained Ck. Physical Rdg. 147-7 giving further advice for treating her deafness; completely deaf in left ear and growing so in right.
2. 6/18/23 She requested a Ck. Rdg.

REPORTS

1. 8/08/23 She wrote: "Dr. Farrand says he has written you but I also write to ask you regarding this prescription.
   "I can't think it is correct or we would be getting some results. I should like to know if it is the filling, the charging or applying and who is responsible for the error.
   "I am at the office ... Street, from 8 to 11 A.M. and 1 to 5 P.M. and 8 to 12 Saturday, Eastern time. The solution is at ... Street. Every time the solution is charged they burn or melt one of the poles off. One pole is now so short I have to tilt the jar to have pole in the liquid. When it is like this should there be a new pole and would it be all right to change poles after it had been charged?
   "My hearing grows steadily worse, but of course you will see that if you give me a reading so there is no use for me to say more except that I feel if I don't have help and have it VERY soon I shall be totally deaf.
   "Thanking you and wishing you continued success. I am"
   Very sincerely yours, [147].
   "Farrand is using much larger plates also than has ever been used before. Will you please send copy of Reading to me DIRECT?"
2. 8/21/23 EC wrote from Selma, Ala.: "Yours of 8th came to hand after some delay, and not being in a position to have the work written have been unable to get this for you, but trust will be able to do this shortly. Letter from Dr. Farrand also regards same, but will send what is gotten direct to you. Something is wrong in the way this is made, for have never had any such trouble as this with them anywhere else. I hope to get it straight for you."
3. 9/10/23 EC gave Ck. Physical Rdg. 147-9, taken down by Gladys Davis on her first day working for him full time.
