This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at his home on Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 30th day of August, 1938, in accordance with request made by the self - Mrs. [808], Active Member of the Ass'n for Research & Enlightenment, Inc.

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

TEXT

1. GC: You will give the present physical condition of this body, with suggestions for further corrective measures; answering the questions that may be submitted, as I ask them.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [808].
3. Now as we find, in a general way conditions are very satisfactory.
4. There are periods, however, when there is more or less of an irritation in the nervous system, and the feeling as of uneasiness.
5. Hence as we find, it would be well to use the Radio-Active Appliance occasionally; twice or three times a week. Make the connections positive, of course, and keep the plates very clean.
6. Once or twice a week, until eight or ten are taken, we would have an adjustment - a GENERAL adjustment throughout the whole system.
7. This should tune or tone the body in such a way and manner that there will be the continued coordination of the glandular forces to function the nearer normal.
8. For the irritation that arises at times from the superseniitiveness of the mucous membranes to odors or particles of the reactions from the ragweed and the pollen of others at this particular season, we would use and inhalant - prepared for this body in this manner:
9. To 4 ounces of Grain Alcohol (at least 95%) - add, in the order named:

   Oil of Eucalyptus...................20 minims,
Rectified Creosote...................2 minims,
Compound Tincture of Benzoin........15 minims,

   Oil of Turp..........................5 minims,
Tolu in Solution....................25 minims.

   This would be put in at least an eight ounce - six to eight ounce large mouth bottle (while the solution itself will not be more than four ounces, see?), with a cork stopper - or rubber stopper; with two small glass tubes into the upper portion or vacuum portion of the bottle, see? One tube maybe much shorter than the other, you see - and both would be kept tightly corked when not in use. These two vents or tubes would be in the stopper or the cork to the bottle, see? Such a container would be preferable.
10. When ready to inhale, shake the solution well, then open both vents and inhale the fumes - not the solution itself - through the nostrils. into the throat. Not as a spray but inhale the fumes that arise from the combination of these properties. It will act upon the mucous membranes in such a way as to not only PREVENT the irritation but make bettered conditions in these directions - with the manipulations and the vibratory forces set by the activities of the Radio- Active Appliance.
11. Twice a day for the inhaling should be sufficient, morning and evening. However, if there is a case or cause for irritation, then it may be inhaled extra. Shake the solution and then inhale. Of course, close the tops of both the openings when shaking it.
12. In the matter of the diet, keep to those things that make for a normal balance for the eliminations.
13. In the activities keep in the open when not in contact with the pollen to which the body is subject - or sensitive.
14. Do these and we will make for the better forces for this body.
15. Ready for questions.
16. (Q) Should I continue to take the Atomidine? How often?
    (A) We would make this farther apart, though continuing to take it. Now, take one minim in water about Mondays and Thursdays - of morning before any meal, of course.
17. (Q) Is there still a deficiency in the glands?
    (A) Rather, as this is a nervous reaction in the present, there is the need for the toning or tuning or coordinating through the manipulative forces, and the creating of a balance by the use of the Appliance.
18. (Q) Are the seeds in figs too rough for the intestines in this body?
    (A) Not too rough, if the figs are well ripened and WELL masticated - or plenty of the salivary gland activity with same. In other words, don't eat and wash them down with water!
19. (Q) Is my diet properly balanced?
    (A) This is very good. Follow those indications as we have outlined.
20. (Q) I am taking "Mucilose" for evacuation of the bowels - Is this harmful to my system?
    (A) This as we find is very good.
21. (Q) What would be the means of building this body up to a healthy normal condition?
    (A) To keep a normal balance or coordination throughout the system. It is in very good condition, if those precautions as indicated will be adhered to in the present.
22. (Q) What makes me feel so exhausted most of the time?
    (A) As indicated, a nervous condition.
23. (Q) Where may I have the prescription for the inhalant properly filled?
    (A) Anywhere where there's a good drug store!
    Or the body may obtain each of these ingredients and by using a dropper prepare it herself! This would possibly be the more SURE way. If the proper bottle is obtained , it would be well to prepare same itself.
24. (Q) Any to her suggestions?
    (A) Do these things, being precautious for the activities of the body that produce the proper eliminations, and we will bring the better forces for this body, [808].
25. We are through with this Reading.

BACKGROUND

1. See 808-7 on 12/15/37.
2. 8/22/38 She submitted questions.
3. 8/24/38 "I was wondering if it might be well to ask about my hay fever. Every fall I get a slight case... Last yr. I didn't have it so bad but several weeks ago I had a slight case of it and then it disappeared. That was a little bit earlier than I usually have it."

REPORTS

1. 9/08/38 [808]'s ltr. to EC:
   Dear Dr. Cayce:
   "Received my reading last week but wanted to get my first treatment before writing you. I think the reading very good and was quite pleased with it. [2784] is going to have my prescription for the hay fever filled by a druggist that he knows, but the druggist has been away so he is awaiting his return to have it filled. I had the special bottle made in one of our laboratories so will let you know how it works out. I'm hoping that a regular drug store will have the ingredients that is prescribed, but if not, I will have to seek another source and make it up myself.
   "Well, anyway, I had my first adjustment treatment last night and I felt like a million dollars after. I slept last night like I haven't slept for weeks. I took my reading to Dr. Bolkhardt and he read it very carefully and gave my treatment accordingly. The thing I like particularly about Dr. Bolkhardt is that he reads your instructions very carefully and tries to do exactly as you say, no more, no less. There were a few vertebrae in my back that he said were out of place and they were awfully sore, but they felt fine this morning. I think I will have the ten treatments as they do make me feel so good. I'm also taking the Atomidine as ordered. The reading said this should be taken father apart but stated to take one drop on Monday and Thursday of every week. Before the reading said to take it every 15th, 16th, 17th and 18th of each month. Maybe it means instead of taking it four days in succession to take the drops farther apart like two a week. Well, anyway, I'm taking it as the reading directs and also using the radio active. It says positive - Is mine positive?
   "I'm trying to carry out your instructions to the letter so I know that I am bound to feel like a million dollars. When I get the next Check Reading I bet I will be 100% perfect, if there is such a specimen. However, if I would continue to feel as good as I do today, I would never complain.
   "I will let you know how I make out with the prescription. Must go now but thanks a lot for my reading - It has helped me a lot already and I have had only the one treatment."
   Love to all, [808]
   "P.S. [2784] wishes to be remember to all. The house is coming along fine - slow but sure. We do want you to see it when it is finished - You will love it."
2. 9/21/38 [808]'s ltr. to EC: Dear Dr. Cayce:
   "Received your letter and have been intending to write you every day for a week. [2784] was able to obtain the inhalant and it certainly has relieved my hay fever. The peculiar part about it is that which I took the top off the bottle that it came in to smell it, it wasn't very strong and it didn't seem as though I was getting any of the fumes at all. I poured it into my special bottle (designed by you) and believe it or not, but the fumes were very perceptible. It made my head feel so clear and refreshing. That sounds like imagination and one would really almost have to try it to see the difference. Well, anyway, I use it morning and night as indicated and outside of a couple of normal sneezes and sniffles, I haven't been annoyed at all with hay fever."
3. 10/31/38 [808]'s ltr. to EC:
   "I haven't been bicycle riding for several months now but have been getting in my usual walks. My hay fever has disappeared entirely and although I still feel awfully exhausted at times and have difficulty sleeping, I think I'm much better than I was. Perhaps this excitement caused by building this house is responsible for most of it. I'm still taking my treatments from Dr. Bolkhardt as indicated although I have had eight [the number indicted in the reading] treatments. I think perhaps I will have one more and then quit. It is a good thing [2784] isn't of the same make up that I am because he has really had the whole responsibility of the house and has had to do an awful lot of running around taking care of things. However, I expect to be like that someday too. When you get finished with me I probably will have inexhaustible energy! How about that?"
