This psychic reading given by Edgar Cayce at the office of the Association, Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 12th day of February, 1942, in accordance with request made by the self - Mr. [849], Associate 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 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, [849].
3. As we find, there are continued improvements.
4. There should not be the attempt to break up the lesions faster than the body is able to eliminate them; else we may produce an outlet - or sores that may become hard to cope with.
5. We would continue to keep an excess in eliminations. The Innerclean will be very satisfactory, if the irrigations are used occasionally to prevent the Innerclean forming clogging conditions in the colon. Thus, it would be well to use a colon tube when such an irrigation is given, - at least every ten days, or oftener unless there are better eliminations.
6. Now we would use an extra, separate connection for the Wet Cell Appliance, carrying the Spirits of Camphor commercial strength. The plain attachment would be used upon the lumbar axis and the one carrying the Camphor would be used upon the sole of the foot, first one and then the other. This will aid in reducing the abrasions, or will make better eliminations and better healing. This should be used in addition to the Gold, you see, but use in a different container and with a different connection, and - to be sure - at a different time of the day. When the Camphor attachment is to be on the right foot, attach the other plate to the left side of the lumbar axis, see? and when to the left foot, put the plain attachment to the right side of the lumbar axis. It would be well for this to be applied each day, alternating the attachments from day to day in the manner indicated.
7. To aid in stretching the limb, we would use about a pound weight. This should be used in the exerciser, so that it is held straight down. This may require the use of the Venom to insure that it does not become too irritating. Use this as oft as once or twice a week in the beginning, but gradually increase the use of it to every day if this is possible. Do not use it more than an hour at the time; thirty minutes in the beginning, and gradually increase to an hour period, see?
8. Use also the Epsom Salts Packs about the knee and that portion of the limb where the muscular force must be stretched for the straightening of the limb, or limbs, see?
9. Do not break up the accumulations too quickly, but a little bit each day; particularly in the sacral and the knee and feet. These gradually, but not so as to cause greater disturbance.
10. The rest, - as to all other treatments, - keep them in the manner indicated.
11. It would be well to keep pretty close to those diets that have been indicated from time to time; not as to become burdensome, but the closer these are adhered to the better it will be.
12. Ready for questions.
13. (Q) Is the inhalant sitting at the bedside table, with prescription around the bottle, properly filled? If not, what is wrong?
    (A) As we find, the ingredients are not combined in their regular order as indicated that they should be. Have this filled in Virginia Beach.
14. (Q) What is the best thing to use on the inflamed skin of the right foot?
    (A) As we find, Carbolated Vaseline.
15. (Q) Any other advice at this time?
    (A) These things indicated we would do for the present, and - as we find - there is being given a good massage; just don't be too quick. But keep up the eliminations well, see?
16. We are through for the present.

    Two copies to Self (one for Mrs. Townsend)
    Copy to Ass'n file
    (2/12/42 GD's note: I'm sending the notation to Marsden Godfrey about the Camphor connection; also having Meredith send you the inhalant. GD.)

   We are all very pleased with the Check Reading. It is always wonderful to me to know what the course of action would have been were it left to well-meaning but just CONSCIOUS people, and then to see the all-wise direction of the readings. How many times treatment of me would have gone wrong in the past four and two thirds years, even if by some miracle we had been able to get on the right track by ourselves! Mrs. T. feels the same way, and will follow instructions to the letter... [1102] is stepping up the fish content of my diet...the man next door is making me a special slipper with a weighted sole (one pound)... Mrs. T. says that Innerclean can be brewed like senna tea which would eliminate the collection of particles in the colon...is that right? I'll try it to-night and if she is right I ought to have the cramps typical of senna tea.
   [1102] bought the spirits of camphor today [for the Wet Cell Appliance] and the man said it was scarce and getting scarcer...she wants to know if 6 ounces need be used at once, or will a smaller amount do...and how often should it be changed...hope to get the connections and bottle soon from Marsden...we will need another top for the gold solution soon...
   Golly, I'm getting unbent! Mrs. T. and her husband now come over each Sunday and give me a whopping big stretch. Yester- day they had my legs nearly over my head. My aspirin dosages is now pretty consistently down to THREE times a day.

   Darned if I didn't forget to tell H. L., in my letter to him, the news that would please him most, and give him a laugh. I'll tell it to you to hand on, and you can appreciate it also:
   The man next-door built for me a chair which slides over the toilet, and has a hole in the middle, nicely padded. I slide to the chair, roll into the bathroom, and am left there until all is well.
   It's the reversing of my position, after four years, that had me upset last week, so I lost a few days of work. I didn't know which end was up, literally, and had headaches and burps galore.
   It's a wonderful chair - you should see it.
