This psychic reading given by Edgar Cayce at his home on Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 3rd day of September, 1936, in accordance with request made by the self, through Mrs. [601], Active Member of the Ass'n for Research & Enlightenment, Inc.

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

TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [1093]; this we have had before.
2. As we find, the acute conditions that have arisen with this body may be said to be the effect of a strain with an excess of acid in system producing a neuralgic effect in the muscular forces and in the tissue in the right groin and limb.
3. With proper applications these should soon be eliminated. If inflammatory conditions arise from incorrect applications, we may find greater disturbances.
4. We would in the present, then, make applications of Soda Poultices upon the hip, the groin, the right portion of the abdomen. Best to wet a heavy towel with very hot water. Do not wring dry but wring the surplus; then put dry baking soda on the towel about a quarter of an inch thick, at least - fold into same; use half a pound or more. Bind this about it; the hip and the groin.
5. And take an alkalin eliminant, such as Milk of Magnesia; a tablespoonful to two tablespoonsful.
6. On the morrow have a correction osteopathically, especially in the lumbar and sacral area, and apply a little electrical vibration from the violet ray.
7. An electric pad may be put to the Soda Poultice to keep it warm for two, three, four hours.
8. The condition should disappear.
9. We would keep some of those suggestions formerly given for these tendencies of the circulation to be overactive in the superficial activity in the lower limbs; which will be helpful also.
10. We are through with this reading.

I am doing my best in following all the information given. It certainly is remarkable what results I have had already and it sure feels grand to be walking around again. I was laid in bed for four days. Oh, I am so grateful to you. I am enclosing $3 now, I do hope it's alright, as I will send more in the next letter."
