This psychic reading given by Edgar Cayce at his home on Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 5th day of February, 1937, 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. Some better are the conditions in many ways.
2. We would keep most of that which has been indicated, adding these:
3. For those places on the limbs and the body where there are swellings, we would prepare Mullein Stupes. But do not have same too hot nor too cold; just a little above body temperature. Prepare same in hot water and then put leaves on a very thin cloth, like dressing cloth. Then put a heavier cloth over same and apply to the body.
4. Keep body-building forces in the diet, that make for the better resistances; as beef juices and the like, and those things that are easily assimilated. A little fish occasionally will be helpful. And a good deal (that is, several meals a week of mornings) of whole wheat crushed, but cooked very, very thoroughly.
5. These as we find are the better for the body in the present.
6. Ready for questions.
7. (Q) How long at a time should the Mullein Stupes be applied?
   (A) Until they become cold, you see, and then take them off and after resting an hour or so, or two to three hours, apply again. Or apply them once, twice, three times a day, dependent upon the reactions they produce.
8. We are through for the present.

REPORTS

1. 2/06/37 His letter: "The first in a long while... I think and hope I am much improved, but suffer a great deal, and the constancy of it day and night, no let up, makes it very bad, and seeming such very slight improvement. I have had wonderful care, and I think the readings have been tried to be carried out fully. If circumstances will permit, give me a ck. rdg. once each week. Would like to know why I can't lie down? Why don't I improve in walking faster? Walk very little, but can't. No strength or breath...
   "Do we get any more Ash? Are you making it now?
   "Been sitting here almost six weeks, I think it is."
2. 2/24/37 He obtained 304-45 giving more detailed advice as to the mullein stupes, etc. to improve the circulation and prevent the accumulation of fluids in swellings.
