This psychic reading given by Edgar Cayce at his home on Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 31st day of December, 1936, in accordance with request made by the daughter - Miss [243], 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, if there will be the alkalinizing of the body as has been indicated [in 304-37], also using the Ash [as in 304-36 for asthma] the more often - the 8th grain three times a day if it becomes necessary - this depends upon the reaction, but use the violet ray over the front and back of the chest and the bronchi each time it is used for three to four minutes - this will give a reaction that should loosen, but will require that there be kept the eliminations.
3. To be sure, use the oil rubs that have been indicated for the body under the existent conditions.
4. In the diet, more of a liquid or semi-liquid. Those with the stimulants of egg and spirits frumenti, or with the honey and the apple brandy. [As in 304-37.]
5. These as we find are the better for the body in the present.
6. Ready for questions.
7. (Q) Just what should be wired?
   (A) Alkalinize body as indicated. Increase frequency of Ash to three times each day if necessary, stimulating with the violet ray. Liquid diets. Keep up eliminations.
8. (Q) Just what is the present condition?
   (A) As has been indicated, the cold, congestion; acidity.
9. We are through for the present.
