This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at his home on Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 28th day of July, 1939, in accordance with request made by the father - Mr. [...], new Associate Member of the Ass'n for Research & Enlightenment, Inc., recommended by Mr. [877].

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

TEXT

1. GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find at the present time; giving the cause of the existing conditions, with suggestions for help and relief of this body. You will answer the questions which may be submitted, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body, [1969] together with those anxieties that have been expressed in seeking for help for this entity.
3. In the present environs (this is not meant to be as a disputation), it is not thoroughly understood. For here we have a condition that is as much POSSESSION as a weakening of the nerve forces in the system; and the general nerve breakdown will NOT be eliminated by the administering of drugs nor by the mere activity of suppression.
4. This condition, as we find, is of the nature such that the inclination could be much better understood from other types of information through this channel, - like the Life Readings.
5. Yet this may be materially aided, if it is taken in time to use suggestive therapeutics combined with a very low form of electrical vibration.
6. Then, after supplying that of vital energy - that is, after there have been some two or three treatments by the low electrical vibrations, as from the Violet Ray or the like, and some suggestive therapeutics - we would give small injections of Liver Extract that will aid in BUILDING the vital forces necessary in the blood supply.
7. Such as Kuhn or Garrett would be suggested as ones to consider seriously for handling these conditions.
8. Ready for questions.
9. We are through for the present.

   Two copies to Father (one to be given to Dr. Thomas
