This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at the office of the Association, Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 6th day of June, 1942, in accordance with request made by the self - Mrs. [623], Associate Member of the Ass'n for Research & Enlightenment, Inc.

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

TEXT

1. GC: You will given the physical condition of this body at the present time, with suggestions for further corrective measures; answering the questions, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [623].
3. Now, as we find, while the acute condition is causing a great deal of pain and anxiety, this is being handled very well by the dentist. It was an unfortunate choice of time. And while the conditions in the system allowed for the infections to take place, if these are adhered to in the manner in which it has been determined by the dentist, it will soon be alright.
4. There is not the presence of strep in the blood, but an infection.
5. As a gargle we would use Glyco-Thymoline; this applied warm to the face, or held in mouth, will be helpful. This should not interfere with those antiseptics used locally by the dentist.
6. Also as an intestinal antiseptic we would take internally a few drops of Glyco-Thymoline - five to six drops in water about twice a day for a few days.
7. Ready for questions.
8. (Q) What caused the infection?
   (A) Removing the tooth, and the condition of the blood, as just indicated. It was a bad time - astrologically.
   Do these, and keep up those activities - and the condition should soon be better.
9. We are through for the present.

BACKGROUND

1. See previous Rdgs.
2. 6/06/42 Phone request to EC: "Do I have strep throat? What may be done to correct the condition?
   "I had my throat swabbed by Dr. Taylor, the osteopath, but it is no better - we're afraid of strep throat; so thought I'd better ask for a reading. I was supposed to go down to his office to have it swabbed again this morning, but think perhaps I shouldn't go out. If anything urgent in way of treatment is suggested that I can do between now and Monday, please phone me."

REPORTS

1. 6/06/42 P.M. GD phoned her:
   Remarks when the directions were phoned: Can't understand - thought there was never a mistake in the Rdgs., but this apparently is one. I didn't have a tooth removed. The fact is that I had all my upper teeth removed when I was 21, and have been wearing a plate since, but soon after I started wearing the plate a wisdom tooth came. The other day I was chewing gum, and I noticed that the wisdom tooth was sore around the roots. I thought it was just rubbed by my plate and went to the dentist. It kept getting worse, and went down into my throat - the infection - little white spots in my throat. The dentist swabbed it but wouldn't do a thing to the tooth - wouldn't think of pulling it. What he applied seemed to make it worse, so I went to Dr. Taylor yesterday, the osteopath, who swabbed it with something that made it better. So I think that must be the application I should continue. I know my blood is acid, and I'm sure the Glyco-Thymoline will help in clearing it up. Thanks very much.
   [Observations by GD: EC answered the phone this morning and talked to Mrs. [623]. I think his conscious mind influenced the Rdg. When she told him she had an infected wisdom tooth, he immediately jumped to the conclusion that the wisdom tooth had been removed and the infection from it had gone into the throat.]
2. 6/09/42 Letter: "Sorry I did not make myself clearer about the tooth not being out. I wish it was out, as that is still ahead of me. A little upper wisdom tooth I cut last year.
   "As for my rheumatism, diet seems to have a great deal to do with it. Last week when I could not eat my rheumatism got better, so I had that relief."
3. 7/15/42 Letter: "I had my wisdom tooth taken out last Friday, it was the jawbone that was infected, so they took out some of the bone also; they froze the gum well and did not hurt me, lacerated the gum and later put in one stitch; seems to be healing very nicely. I have kept it clean with Glyco. My tonsil tried to get sore again but is alright now. Tried to pick a day proper or good for such work; I should say, favorable astrologically."
4. 6/11/55 Letter: "I am ashamed of myself for not writing long ago; intended to, many times; thought of you all often, for instance when [951]'s 36th birthday (she is 41 now) which doubled her life from her first Cayce reading at age 18 when she was so sick and we were so worried."
   [GD's note: See details of her other correspondence in [951]'s file, also her granddaughter [3473]'s and husband [2461]'s. She referred many other people for readings.]
5. 2/27/67 Daughter [951] phoned: "Mother [623] thought there might be something in the rdgs. to help my daughter [3473]'s stomach ulcers... Mother [623] has been in a mental hygiene home for 2 yrs., her memory is good about the past but she is not able to cope with the present. We visit with her often."
6. 3/12/67 "She had some small strokes and was completely hallucinated overnight - knew no one - hid - was terror stricken. Since has returned mentally to a more tolerable state. Sews, plays the piano some - takes part in hospital projects and is really very content. We bring her home for the day sometimes (Xmas, etc.)."
