Involuntary. This psychic reading given by Edgar Cayce at his home on Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 5th day of March, 1937, in accordance with no request or suggestion, but at end of another Check Physical.

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

TEXT

1. EC: Now we have those conditions for [1112], ..., Alabama.
2. As we find, we would keep - in this acute condition - the hot packs as given over the lower portion of the kidney area.
3. We would begin with Watermelon Seed Tea; not too strong, but about the proportions of a tablespoonful (heaping) of the seed, beat or ground or crushed, to a pint of water. Let this not boil but almost, keeping it covered. Then give little sips of it two, three, four times a day until it is seen that it has acted with the kidneys in throwing off accumulations there.
4. Also we find that the manipulations that tend to make the circulation active below the lumbar axis will be helpful.
5. We find that these as combined with those other administrations would be most helpful.
6. We are through with this reading.
