This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at his home on Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 20th day of September, 1937, in accordance with request made by the self - Miss [288], Active Member of the Ass'n for Research & Enlightenment, Inc.

Present: Edgar Cayce; Gertrude Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno.

TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here; this we have had before.
2. As we find, the cold and the congestion and the effect of the poisons and accumulations of same arise somewhat from indiscretions and overtaxations of the system.
3. We would find, to bring about the bettered conditions for the body, first we would bathe the lower limbs from the knees down with Mustard Water; this, of course, just before retiring of an evening; this done once or twice; that is, this afternoon, tomorrow afternoon, and then keep quiet.
4. Produce the better eliminations with the Castoria as combined with the activity of the Simmons Liver Regulator; or take one dose of the Simmons Regulator, one dose of the Castoria. These will make for a burning in the stomach when taken, but take about a teaspoonful of each - this done a whole afternoon; then the next morning take a flushing with at least two or three teaspoonsful of the Castoria.
5. This as we find, with a thorough massage or osteopathic treatment, would make for the correction of the conditions.
6. Ready for questions.
7. (Q) When would be best to have the treatment?
   (A) This should be between the times, in the morning.
   Do these as we have indicated, being - of course - consistent with the diets; not oversweets, not overacids, not over alkalines, but a normal diet, see?
8. We are through with this Reading.

Cold seems better this a.m. but so TIRED; also my nose feels 'draw-ey' and I've sneezed quite a bit."

REPORTS

1. 9/22/37 "I felt much better after the osteopathic treatment [by Gena L. Crews, D.O.] yesterday morning.

I feel pretty good now but my nose is sore and still stopped up off and on."
