This psychic reading given by Edgar Cayce at his home on Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Virginia, this 4th day of January, 1934, in accordance with request made by her sister - Mrs. [760] - and her daughter, Mrs. [538], Active Member of the Ass'n for Research and Enlightenment, Inc.

Present: Edgar Cayce; Hugh Lynn Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno. Gertrude Cayce, Helen Storey, Esther Wynne.

TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body, Mrs. [265]; this we have had before.
2. As we find, conditions are rather serious. The relaxations that have been produced by the use of the forces that only make the tendency for congestions in other portions of the body are only palliatives, and are not aids. Yet the condition in the throat, the bronchi, the head, the general cold, congestion, the inactivity of the kidneys (which is being produced), all make it very hard on the circulation and the heart's action.
3. In the present condition, as we find, it would be better to use a preparation in capsule - preferably, or it may be added in a carrier such as simple syrup - preferably in capsule, as this:

   Oil of Eucalyptol.................1 minim,
Rectified Oil of Turp...........1/2 minim,
Rectified Creosote..............1/4 minim,
Codeine........................1/60 grain.

4. Or, prepared in the syrup, it would be in this manner:

   To 2 ounces of simple syrup, add:
Oil of Eucalyptol................10 minims,
Rectified Oil of Turp.............5 minims,
Rectified Creosote................4 minims,
Codeine (dissolved or crushed)....2 grains.

5. This would be shaken together very thoroughly each time before the dose would be taken. The dose would be half a teaspoonful. It may be taken two or three times each day.
6. As we find, this will relax the bronchi; for both the turp and the creosote are active forces for lung and bronchi, while the turp and codeine will be active with the circulation such as not to hinder yet to allow the activity of the heart's forces, the liver and the kidneys. This, however, is not only a palliative but would be beneficient to the general conditions.
7. But, unless there is a change, and the heart's action continues to be depressed - and the choking sensations arise, will be bad.
8. Ready for questions.
9. (Q) Of the two prescriptions given, which would be the easier for them to get filled - the capsule or liquid?
   (A) The liquid; that's why it was given.
10. (Q) Any other suggestions for the body?
    (A) We would massage the feet to keep the circulation down. We would keep the feet as warm as possible.
    Do not force food, but prepare rather beef juices and gelatin.
    Syrup of Squill would be well to have on hand for the periods when nausea may arise from having to take too great quantities of the Creosote, for this becomes rather hard, to be sure, in the stomach itself. Syrup of Squill would be taken in the small doses, half a teaspoonful three or four times a day, which would be helpful for the digestive forces acted upon by the Creosote, see? But this is not too great a quantity, for - as seen - there's very small doses, but this in the homeopathic dose makes for an activity that would be most beneficient and helpful, as we find, for the body.
11. We are through with this reading.
