3/27/40 Hugh Lynn Cayce article expanded [see below] in re
the Radio-Active AND Wet Cell Appliances. This article was
subsequently mailed with each reading which called for the
use of either of the Appliances.
THE RADIO-ACTIVE APPLIANCE - by Hugh Lynn Cayce
HISTORY: The Radio-Active Appliance was first described in
individual psychic readings given by Edgar Cayce over twenty
years ago. The crude form of the first Appliance has been
greatly improved through the years. Research work on this
Appliance was done in 1928, 1929, and 1930 in the Cayce
Hospital at Virginia Beach, Virginia. Under the direction
of physicians and technicians excellent test conditions were
set up and valuable reports secured. This Appliance has
proven so helpful in individual cases that Mr. Mardsen
Godfrey has undertaken to develop it for commercial
distribution.
CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATION: The Appliance is made up of two
insulated steel bars packed in charcoal in a metal container.
Flexible wire leads are attached to each bar and are
connected to the body by means of small silver plates.
The Appliance is placed in a small jar of cracked ice and
allowed to remain for fifteen minutes before being used.
The Radio-Active Appliance directly affects the circulation.
The vibratory current of the body passes through it, the
temperature of the Appliance being lower than that of the
body, building up a low impulse which is given off through
the anodes attached to the extremities of the body. The
construction of this Appliance makes it possible for the
impulses to be regular and even. It is thus effective
without the tensing of nerves and muscles which is frequently
the case where high frequency currents are used. The
Appliance is not connected with any electric current and
and causes no discomfort to the body while treatments are
being taken, producing rest and relaxation instead.
WHEN TO BE USED: Whenever a body is overtaxed mentally or
physically the Radio-Active Appliance is helpful to produce
normal rest. The Appliance is designed to equalize the
circulatory vibrations of a body; hence any condition which
directly disturbs the circulation is improved through its
regular use. It has been used successfully in the
treatment of rheumatism, neuralgia, headaches, colds,
insomnia, fatigue, and over wrought nerves.
In some instances the Radio-Active Appliance directions call
for the use of a solution, such as Gold Chloride, Iodine,
Camphor, etc. When this is the case, be sure to specify
it when ordering the appliance, so that a special
attachment can be supplied with the Appliance. This
special attachment consists of a small jar holding the
solution, through which passes a hollow lead tubing. One
wire from the appliance is attached to the solution so that
the current from the body passes through it.
DIRECTIONS FOR USING THE RADIO-ACTIVE APPLIANCE
The Appliance should be placed in the crock and surround
with cracked ice. Add water until it reaches a level of
about 2 inches from the top of the Appliance. Do not allow
the water to come over the top of the Appliance. Let it
stand in this manner for 15 to 20 minutes before attaching
to the body; leaving it in the ice water during the time it
is attached to the body.
When the Appliance is ready for use, insert the tips of the
wires in the holes. DO NOT LET THE METAL DISCS OR PLATES
TOUCH EACH OTHER AFTER THE WIRES HAVE BEEN FASTENED TO THE
APPLIANCE!
The attachments would be made in this manner:
1st day: The plate coming from the red pole would be
attached FIRST, to the RIGHT WRIST; while the other plate
coming from the black pole would be attached LAST, to the
LEFT ANKLE.
2nd day: FIRST attachment (from the red pole) would be
to the LEFT WRIST; LAST attachment (from the black pole)
to the RIGHT ANKLE.
3rd day: Attach FIRST to the LEFT ANKLE; LAST to the RIGHT
WRIST.
4th day: FIRST to the RIGHT ANKLE; LAST to the LEFT WRIST.
Thus a circle of the body will have been made in the
attachments. The first attachment becomes the positive,
the last the negative. Thus always be sure to attach FIRST
the plate coming from the RED pole, LAST the one coming from
the black pole.
Alternate the attachments each day in the manner indicated,
for one hour (1 hr.); unless otherwise specified for your
particular case. Use for 3 to 4 rounds of the 4-day periods,
then leave off a few days, then begin again.
It is preferable to remain quiet, in a prayerful, meditative
and constructive attitude during the hour the Appliance is
attached; while resting, or just before retiring at night.
Note: The plates are attached to the inside of the wrist,
as near the pulse as possible, and to the inside of the ankle
- in the hollow just between the ankle joint and the tendon
which runs down the back of the leg to the heel. Adjust the
bands so that the discs are held securely in place against
the skin.
No sensation will be experienced by the body while using
this Appliance, other than possibly a slight tingling in
the extremities of the body (hands and feet) or a feeling
of drowsiness slowly creeping over the body. Upon awakening
the next morning the body will feel thoroughly relaxed and
very much refreshed from the night's sleep.
When not using the Appliance disconnect the wires and if
convenient place the unit in the sun for 20 to 30 minutes.
This is all the recharging that will be necessary. Before
and after each attachment, be sure the plates are cleaned or
polished with the emery cloth which is provided. Special
care should be taken not to let them become corroded by the
acids and oils from the body.
The vibratory current of the body passes through the
Appliance, the temperature of the Appliance being lower
than that of the body, building up a low charge which
is given off into the body through the other attachment
completing the circuit. The effect of the Appliance is
to equalize the circulation and relieve strain in any
congested or taut areas of the nervous system. The action
is that of equalizing the natural vibration or current of
the body itself.
Inquiries regarding this Appliance should be addressed to:

WET CELL APPLIANCES - By Hugh Lynn Cayce
For many years the importance of low electrical vibrations
in relieving certain types of human suffering has been
emphasized through the psychic readings of Edgar Cayce.
Fifteen years ago the first description of an appliance
for introducing into the system a low electrical current
was given. Since 1925, experimentation and research have
improved the usefulness and widened the possible application
of these appliances. The results of the work in this field
are briefly presented here.
Let us compare the nerves with a telegraph system, with the
brain as the central receiving and sending station. Within
a human body there is the central nervous system, consisting
of the brain and the spinal cord; and the peripheral system,
consisting of the cerebrospinal and sympathetic nerve fibers.
The brain sends and receives messages along the large spinal
cord which in turn is connected at various plexes or stations
with the nerves of the cerebrospinal and sympathetic which
pass to all parts of the body, forming a complete network
of tiny nerve fibers. Along the various branches of this
network vibrations pass with lightning rapidity to and from
the various sub-stations and the central station, the brain.
In the telegraph system a weak place or break in the wires
will cause a short circuit. Similarly in a body a pressure,
impaction or inflammation will result in imperfect nerve
responses.
All matter, whether organic or inorganic, has a period of
vibration or frequency. When this is changed, the entire
structure changes and a reaction takes place. For example,
water may be heated until it is reduced to steam. The
vibratory rate or period of frequency has been altered.
Every particle of matter has its peculiar vibratory rate.
Extract from reading
1800-4: "The human body is made up of
electronic vibrations, with each atom and element of the
body, each organ and organism of same, having its electronic
unit of vibration necessary for the sustenance of, and
equilibrium in, that particular organism. Each unit, then,
being a cell or a unit of life in itself, has its capacity
of reproducing itself by the first law as is known of
reproduction - division. When a force in any organ, or
element of the body, becomes deficient in its ability to
reproduce that equilibrium necessary for the sustenance of
the physical existence and reproduction of same, that portion
becomes deficient through electronic energy as is necessary.
This may come by injury or by disease, received from external
forces. It may come from internal forces through lack of
eliminations as are produced in the system, or by the lack of
other agencies to meet the requirements of same in the body."
Even a strain or binding will cause incoordination.
Impulses, as messages, will not reach the different parts
of the body properly. The circulation will thus affected
and inflammation will results.
The action of the Wet Cell appliance, described here,
deals with a vibratory theory. The nervous systems, the
circulatory and the ductless glands are the parts of the
body particularly involved.
This appliance is used with a solution which in itself
generates a low electrical current. The ingredients are
Copper Sulphate, Sulphuric Acid, Willow Charcoal, and Zinc.
Two poles of nickel and copper extend into the solution
contained in a heavy crock. To the ends of the poles wire
leads are attached and extend to the body of the individual.
Chemical compounds may also be carried through this
Appliance.
One of the leads from the Appliance passes through a
container holding the desired chemical solution. To the ends
of the wire leads various types of metal anodes are attached,
according to the chemical being used.
It is interesting to note that the anodes of this Appliance
are placed at special nerve centers along the cerebrospinal
system and over ducts and glands in the frontal portion of
a body. The impulse of the low electrical current is sent
direct to the centers needing attention, and works through
the nervous systems rather than through the circulatory
system. The principle of the influence of the atomic
vibrations is the same as with the Radio-Active appliance
(another type of appliance which has evolved from the study
and the application of Mr. Cayce's Readings.) The difference
lies primarily, we believe, in that the Radio-Active works
through the circulation and the Wet Cell through the nervous
systems direct to the ducts and glands affected.
The Wet Cell Appliance have been recommended in serious cases
of incoordination with undeveloped children, in paralytic
cases, for gland conditions and serious nervous disorders
involving insanity. We have in our files reports on cases
of arthritis, paralysis, and brain disorders, where definite
help has been received. Where this type of treatment is
recommended, the case is generally of a very serious nature
and requires patience and persistence in carrying out the
needed treatments.
Research work on these appliances is still in elementary
stages. In keeping with the general policy of the
Association we welcome the cooperation and interest of all
members interested in this phase of the work. These
appliances (The Radio-Active and the Wet Cell) have been
developed from detailed descriptions and explanations given
through the psychic Readings of Edgar Cayce. They have been
used with highly gratifying results by members over a period
of many years. The work of presenting these appliances to
the scientific world, and to the thousands who may benefit
from using them, becomes one of the privileges and duties of
those who glimpse a vision of their possible value to
humanity.

DIRECTION FOR USING THE WET CELL APPLIANCE
(Price $25.00 [in '43])
1. Unpack the Appliance and wash the jar thoroughly; then
dry with a clean cloth.
2. Pour 1 1/2 gallons of DISTILLED WATER into the jar. This
amount of water will fill the jar to a point opposite the
mark on the outside.
3. Add the chemicals IN THE FOLLOWING ORDER; unless other-
wise specified in your case:
1) Copper Sulphate................1 1/2 pounds,
2) Sulphuric Acid C.P.................1 ounce, (this can not
be shipped, so purchase it from nearest drug store,)
3) Zinc..............................30 grains, [6 drams]
4) Willow Charcoal..................1/2 pound.
Stir this solution thoroughly with stick provided, until a
good part of the charcoal is dissolved.
4. Place the jar in the box container, put cover on and
attach the wire leads to the connections on the inside of
the box. Important: Be sure that the wire from the nickel
(negative -) pole is attached to the connection marked (-)
on the outside of the box, and that the wire from the copper
(positive --) pole is attached to the connection marked (--)
on the outside of the box.
5. Close the top and set the Appliance to charge itself for
at least twelve hours before taking the first treatment.
6. When ready to take the first treatment, attach the anodes
as directed for your individual casae. Adjust the wire
connections to the anodes and then fasten the other ends
of the leads to the Appliance by unscrewing the connections
and then tightening them on the wire tips so that they are
held securely. Make the attachments to the body first, as
directed in the Reading given by Mr. Cayce. Remember, the
wire to the larger or nickel plate is always to be attached
to negative (-) connection. The wire to the smaller copper
plate is always attached to the positive (+) connection.
Do not allow the anodes to come in contact with one another
after the wire leads have been connected to the Appliance.
7. After each treatment disconnect the wires from the
Appliance. Keep the anodes which come in contact with the
body, polished with the emery cloth. Do this each time
before and after using.
8. This Appliance should be recharged every thirty days.
Empty the old solution from the jar and wash it clean.
Remove all accumulations from the poles with the emery cloth
or with a file if necessary. Repeat the mixing of the
solution as before. The ingredients packed separately in
the proper quantities may be ordered from us.
9. In some instances where the Wet Cell Appliance is
suggested, certain auxiliary solutions are used with it
separate containers. The wire going to the negative anode
always passes through the solution. Where different
solutions are used on alternate days, separate containers
are furnished but the same wires may be used. These
solutions...such as Atomidine, Gold Chloride, Camphor,
Silver Nitrate, etc...are varied as to price and
consequently are NOT covered by the price of the Appliance.
