This psychic reading given by Edgar Cayce at his home on Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 1st day of August, 1933, in accordance with request made by the father, Mr. [...], Active Member of the Ass'n for Research & Enlightenment, Inc., through Mrs. [264], over telephone.

Present: Edgar Cayce; Gertrude Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno. Sarah and Lu Hesson, Mildred Davis and L. B. Cayce.

TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here; this we have had before.
2. Conditions, as we find, are not so good.
3. While there has been some response, there is the ability of the eliminations to be set up so as to carry OFF these accumulations.
4. Unless there is the drawing OFF, or the stimulation through taking more of the hypnotic as to reduce the pain, there must come the separation.
5. When the body has responded to either of these, if it does respond, we may give that which may be helpful.
6. Overanxiety has brought some destructive forces.
7. Ready for questions.
8. (Q) Under present conditions, which would be the better course?
   (A) It will necessarily be BOTH, for it'll have to be under the influence of a hypnotic - or a narcotic - for drainage to be superficially done!
9. (Q) Can Dr. Brenner do any good, or be of any help? [E. P. Brenner, D.C.]
   (A) Only in quieting the body.
10. We are through with this reading.
    Phoned to Dr. Brenner at 11:40 A.M.

    Copy to Mrs. [264]
    Copy to File

REPORTS

1. 8/06/33 Letter from Mrs. [264] to GD: "...Well, the little girl [374] did not make the grade. She lived all that day and night, and passed on the next night about twelve o'clock. She was thoroughly conscious most of the time until the end.
   "We certainly appreciate what Mr. Cayce did. My only regret is that they did not have a reading sooner.
   "That night after talking to you, [853] went out there, and Mr. [...] got him to get a medical Dr., and [853] said Mr. and Mrs. [...] begged him (the Dr.) to treat her according to the reading, and he refused, finally saying they would have to get some one who knew nothing of medical science to do it..."
