This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at the home of his mother-in-law, Mrs. Elizabeth E. Evans, Route 2, Box 20, [Russellville Rd.], Hopkinsville, Kentucky, this 4th day of September, 1925, at the request of Miss [421]'s mother, Mrs. [482].

Present: Edgar Cayce; Gertrude Cayce, Conductor; (?), Steno.

TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here now. We find there are some conditions that need correction in the physical forces of this body. The manner of the organisms functioning, under existent conditions, are not abnormal for those conditions, but are abnormal for the normal functioning organism - hence, we find the disturbances in the nervous system and in the ductless glands of the body, with reflexes in various portions that cause distress to the functioning of different organs under the different strains produced in the system in the various cycodes [cycles] of the body-functioning.
2. Now these are the conditions as we find them in this body - [421], we are speaking of. First, in the blood supply, in this we find the tendency towards anemia; that is the nerve system so taxed that there is poor assimilation throughout the system. This then produces then the strain on the organisms producing the blood for the system and the tendency for the system to overuse that in the system - hence, the condition that occurs in the circulation at times.
3. The heart action produced from this condition, the tendency for extremes of heat and cold or hot and cold sensations and the lack of full circulation in various parts of the body. The indications of these in the existent condition, the constituents and eliminations of the blood very good at present. For with the subluxations in the system being released this has produced better eliminations in the body, hence is beneficial to the conditions in the system, yet a slow way to overcome that which is necessary for this body.
4. In the nerve system now in various portions of the spinal - that is cerebro-spinal system we find there is and has been greater subluxations of impingement of the nerve supply to the various organisms of the system. These that show more at present are rather in the lower end of the coxis [coccyx], the upper sacrum and last and next to last lumbar, in the third and fourth dorsal and in the second and fourth cervical - hence, these are the conditions that exist in the system from these conditions in body.
5. The functioning of the organs of the pelvis depressed and lack of functioning.
6. The organs in digestion act spasmodically or in a spasmodic manner. The lungs in their respiratory functioning make depressions and produce a tense condition in the larynx and hence the tickling sensation or tendency to produce a hacking cough and to spit a great deal; often the saliva glands are drained in this manner.
7. There is a tendency for the stomach to produce the continual desire for food and very little satisfies and this rarely ever digested properly. Some digested quickly, others remaining long in stomach, hence the reflexes in the nerve system produces a very much overstrained condition in the ductless glands and the functioning in the throat. The tendency of the action in kidneys and in spleen, hence wet the body, show these inclinations as produced by this condition in the functioning of the organs of the body.
8. Brain forces very good. The exceptional functioning of sensory and sympathetic show this strain as is produced in the forces of the nervous system. The susceptibility aroused over things sympathetic or the fear and desire that becomes incompatible to the seriousness are merely the reflexes of the system.
9. Organs of the sensory system very good. Throat shows the effect of this over-functioning as is produced, hence the condition as is found.
10. Lungs good though the lack of blood supply, the condition as is produced in the secondary cardiac plexus show the effects yet not an organic condition. Stomach below or smaller than normal. Spleen enlarged, liver torpid in the right lobe and very good in the functioning in the left, hence the variation, hence the effect in the excretory and secretive organ of this body - more in the upper intestinal, upper intestinal digestion. The lacteal ducts show the undue strain in their functioning and the pain or uneasiness felt at times due to this condition. The lactean [lacteal] glands are abnormal in size and do not function in a normal manner. The organs of the pelvis show the overactivity in ductless glands or subnormal activity in the reproductive glands. In the kidneys we find these depressions show, also.
11. With the assistance then of these conditions as have been applied to the body we would add this - more of the adjustment and manipulation that would follow out the ends of the nerve system or rather an addition of neuropathic forces with the reproductive forces, using also those properties found in the Radio Active Appliance with the iodine carried in negative contact to body making that negative contact on this body over the umbilicus or just above and to the left, see? This vibration will add to the system direct, to the nerve system of blood building. [See 1800-6, Par. 7-A.]
12. Let the diet be consistent, yet give these building properties of and for the blood. Cereals, whole wheat and fruits, not too much meats, save of rare or juices of beef.
13. The appliance should be attached to body, at least - first, each day preferably when the body rests for at least from one and one half to two hours. Adjustments at least two each week. Neuropathic forces one each day, with rest for the mental and physical forces of the body. Strains such as in walking and in studying would be detrimental and bad for this body - physical and mental. DO THAT.
14. (Q) Will it be injurious or detrimental in any way to attend school or climb steps while at school?
    (A) It will for the body to study, alright to read to it, detrimental to attend school. Do not climb steps, as given.

BACKGROUND

1. 8/18/25 Mother [482]'s letter: "Our daughter, [421], hasn't been well all summer; in fact couldn't let her take examinations at close of school. We have been having her take chiropractic adjustments all summer. Still I am not satisfied. Would you take a diagnosis of her for me? I would like for you to tell me her condition, especially about her throat as to a goitre, and examine the lungs good, in fact the whole body. There may not be anything for me to worry about, but she doesn't gain as fast as I think she should. What about her going back to school? What you tell me I am sure will be right. If we should continue the adjustments also."

REPORTS

1. 10/08/25 EC wrote his friend, Mrs. A. Wood Gray (Mamie Butler Gray) in Selma, Ala., that he was referring Miss [421] to her for neuropathic treatment, since Mrs. Gray had received instruction in neuropathy from Dr. Elise Stone of the Southern School of Neuropathy, Montgomery, Ala. He said that he had written Mrs. [482] advising that she let Miss [421] come to visit Mrs. Gray for several weeks in order to take the treatment.
2. 12/27/30 Miss [421] wired for a Ck. Physical - See 421-2 on 1/05/31.
3. See subsequent rdgs. in re warding off tuberculosis.
4. 3/12/35 See 421-10 in re development of goitre.
