This psychic reading given by Edgar Cayce at his home on Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 6th day of October, 1937, in accordance with request made by the husband - Mr. [228], Active Member of the Ass'n for Research & Enlightenment, Inc.

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

TEXT

1. EC: Yes.
2. Now as we find, conditions have become more acute since last we had same - while in the present there are some improvements - owing to the discharges from conditions that have been localized.
3. While the manipulative forces have been too severely given, these HAVE as we find proved most helpful under the existent conditions.
4. As we find, since last we had same there has developed greater inflammation in the left ovary and that tube.
5. While those activities may be eliminated without operative forces, if there are again the ACUTE conditions arising - with temperature - then it would be necessary for operative forces to prevent this from producing infection in the areas about the capsule that holds the intestines as well as the lower portion of the abdomen; to prevent peritonitis or such reaction. But unless these disturbances arise again, these measures would not be necessary.
6. But for the immediate use we would paint those areas where there is distress with a combination of three parts Laudanum to one part Aconite. Then apply saturated solution of Epsom Salts in packs; using very heavy toweling. Change when they have grown cold, unless the pain has subsided.
7. As soon as it is practical, or there is little or no flow, we would use the douches of the Atomidine. These we find preferable to the other characters that have been used, and with less trouble or with less inclination for producing a sediment upon delicate tissue of the pelvic organs.
8. Ready for questions.
9. (Q) Do you think she needs any kind of nerve medicine?
   (A) The combination of the bromides would be much preferable to any narcotics. These are sedatives, to be sure, but are nerve compounds; those properties of the nature of three, you see - Bromidia; preferably given under the direction, though, of a physician.
10. (Q) What will break up her sleepless condition?
    (A) As has just been indicated; relieve the pain, use the bromides, and she should rest.
11. (Q) Soreness continues in abdomen from doctor's treatment?
    (A) As has been indicated, use those things.
    If there is an acute condition, DO have the operation before any infections would arise.
    DO NOT attempt to treat with radium or the high vibrations - as X-Ray.
12. We are through for the present.

BACKGROUND

1. See 313-11 on 9/27/37 and subsequent Reports.

REPORTS

1. 10/06/37 Wed. night see husband's letter under 313-11, Par. R3, giving her condition throughout the day, especially what took place at 4 P.M., etc. See also husband's ltr. dated 10/12/37 under 313-13 Reports in re correctness of rdg. 313-12. [EC, of course, did not receive this letter until later.]
2. 10/09/37 Husband wired for his rdg. 228-10, saying "[313] improving."
3. 10/10/37 Husband [228]'s wire: "Please take reading for immediate diet and wire night letter."
4. 10/11/37 See 313-13.
5. 10/15/37 EC's ltr.: "How many times we have had the experience when taking a rdg. such as [313] was having at the time of 313-12! A few times we have even had a description of the surroundings of the body, grounds, house and even furnishings of the room. Not always, nor is it even given when asked for at times; but such has been very interesting, it seems, to the students of 'the work', especially at Duke and Columbia, as each of these are having special cases for observation."
