This psychic reading given by Edgar Cayce at his home on Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 27th day of January, 1937, in accordance with request made by the wife - Mrs. [1337], Associate Member of the Ass'n for Research & Enlightenment, Inc.

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

TEXT

1. EC: Yes.
2. As we find, there is a condition of acuteness owing to a carbuncle - and this needs attention; should be opened.
3. And we would use about it the Iodex with the Ash - a grain to half an ounce of the Iodex, well mixed.
4. Yet there are other conditions in the system that need attention. We find it would be well to take internally a mixture of equal parts Epsom Salts, Cream of Tartar and Sulphur; teaspoonful of the mixture taken every morning for four to five days, then leave off for a week and then take again. This would purify the system, provided the body does not get feet wet or overexposure or too hot or too cold during the periods it is taken. It would purify the blood stream and make for better conditions throughout the digestive system.
5. Ready for questions.
6. (Q) Then the boil on back of neck should be lanced today?
   (A) Should be lanced, and we would find it better to use the ointment as indicated. However, Gray's Ointment or that which is suggested by the physician we would use, see? But the use of the Iodex with the Ash will make it drain better; then the purifying of the blood stream by the properties taken internally would make better conditions for the body.
7. We are through with this reading.
