This psychic reading given by Edgar Cayce at the office of the Association, Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 17th day of April, 1943, in accordance with request made by the self through wife, 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 corrective measures; answering the questions, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes - we have the body here, [1151].
3. As we find, these attacks in the present are part of a general condition which has existed.
4. It would be well, or necessary in the present - unless there's taking grave dangers, for the body to be quiet - for at least two to three days.
5. At least an hour, or two periods of an hour, each day for the next two days, - apply first the thicknesses of gauze saturated with full strength Glyco-Thymoline, over the gall duct area. Apply this next to the body, just over the gall duct area. This is to act more upon the gall duct itself, in easing pain and in relaxing the duct itself.
6. Apply over this the Castor Oil Pack, the three to four thicknesses of flannel saturated in warm Castor Oil, see? Apply both packs at once, you see; but the Castor Oil Pack should cover the whole liver area. Put the electric pad over these and keep warm, as hot as the body can well stand, for at least an hour. The Castor Oil Pack is to act upon the nerve forces and the energy activities through the liver itself.
7. If there is still nausea and pain, repeat the application for another hour. Then tomorrow repeat the whole procedure. It may be necessary to use twice today, you see, if the pain is severe, and then tomorrow it may not be necessary to use more than once - but keep on for one hour at the time - both packs at once.
8. But keep quiet most of the time.
9. Not too much foods, but rather liquids, or juices and the like. Not too much solid food.
10. After the second day - that is, late tomorrow afternoon or evening, take internally three tablespoonsful of Olive Oil.
11. Unless there should occur high temperature (which as we find should not occur, unless there is too much activity), this should aid in disgorging the disturbance in the gall duct area.
12. Do not eat too much of meats of any kind. When taken, fish and fowl are preferable.
13. Ready for questions.
14. We are through for the present.

BACKGROUND

1. See 1151-30 on 8/31/41.
2. 4/17/43 Wife phoned that he had taken sick on Friday night and was in great pain.

REPORTS

1. 5/12/43 Wife's letter: "I feel remiss in not having written you immediately after receiving the help from you for [1151]. He was really a very sick man the morning I phoned you, but after following for two days the program outlined he not only was relieved of pain but able to resume his regular active duties on Monday. He was profoundly grateful and asked me to write you, at once, as he left that morning (Monday) for Washington, D.C., and has been on the move ever since. Pressure of events here, however, interfered with my writing before, so please accept my apologies on my behalf and my husband's. It is difficult to describe our thanks, for without the advice that came thru you we would be have been obliged to call a doctor, in which case [1151] might still be sick. As it was, he never lost grasp on the duties of his daily work. He was taken sick on Friday night and was back on the job Monday morning, due to the help that came thru you. God bless you and keep you in His loving care."
2. 8/11/44 He obtained his last reading, a Ck. Physical - 1151-32.
