This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at the office of the Association, Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 23rd day of September, 1941, in accordance with request made by the father - Mr. [2841], 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, and the causes of same; with suggestions for further corrective measures; answering the questions, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes.
3. As we find, the conditions in the present have been rather acute. There are some improvements this morning.
4. Still there is the reflection of the disturbances from, or caused by, general upset - and the kidneys reacting to same; this causing the temperature.
5. We need only, as we find, to take those precautions indicated - and to keep up the osteopathic adjustments (for this has been a part of the disturbance), to keep the coordinating between the liver and kidneys as related to the general condition; as well as those upsetting conditions that have occurred at periods.
6. This is a source of the disturbance in the present, as well as the natural tenderness from the reflexes in kidney area.
7. With the osteopathic manipulations, we would also give once each week, preferably on Thursdays - as this is the cycle of the body for such activities, two ounces of Watermelon Seed Tea prepared in this manner: Crush or grind a teaspoonful of Watermelon Seed and put them in a crock or glass or cup. Pour over same two ounces of boiling water. Let stand until cool, keeping covered - of course - so as to make a tea. There is sufficient of the nitre and other properties in this that if drunk it will be beneficial to clearing up the inflammation through the areas not only of the kidneys and bladder but will also aid in the ovarian disturbance.
8. If there is pain (but not unless there is), apply (unless there is very high fever) cool or cold applications (but not ice) across the abdomen, and HOT applications across the small of the back.
9. Do these, and with the general precautions, we should find relief for this body.
10. Ready for questions.
11. (Q) What are the conditions in the light of last information through this channel?
    (A) As indicated, this is rather an acute upset; being a combination of something upsetting in the digestive system and a reflex disturbance both of kidneys AND ovaries - but more in the kidneys.
12. (Q) How about her eyes?
    (A) The correction in the glasses, - we find that the body will have to be accustomed, rather, to these. For, naturally the body, with the acute conditions and disturbances, reacts to flexes. These as we find are very well adjusted in the present.
13. (Q) How often should the osteopathic treatments be given?
    (A) About once in ten days, unless other disturbances arise; or take one a week for two weeks, and then get farther apart, see?
14. We are through with this Reading.

    Two copies to Father (one for Dr. Dobbins)
    Copy to Ass'n file

BACKGROUND

1. Phone request by father last night - what causes fever, and flare-up attacks? Dr. Dobbins has been on his vacation, consequently his treatments have been stopped for time being. Phone answer if serious.
2. 9/22/41 Mother's background letter, which did not arrive in time for reading, is in 2084-8, Par. R1.

REPORTS

1. 9/22/41 Mother's letter which did not arrive until after Reading was given:
   "We are sending this special as we are anxious to have a Rdg. for [2084] as soon as possible. She was feeling fine until just at bedtime last night she complained of a cramp pain which went away after a hot bath, but during the night complained of being cold and had a temperature of almost 101, and this morning it was nearly 102. So if you will wire me and charge it to our phone - and let me know the earliest that you can give her a Rdg., I certainly would appreciate it. We were planning on having one before long, so I will ask some questions now instead." See questions in Reading, 2084-9.
2. 9/24/41 EC's letter to [2084]:
   Dear Mrs. [2678]:
   Yours of the 22nd just came this morning, but hope from the phone call from Mr. [2841] you already have the information, and trust [2084] is feeling much better already.
   Notice from the questions that possibly not all that you wished to know is not answered, if there is any thing not thoroughly understood, please make note and we will check up again, no charge please, for this.
   Now regards [2587] - if there is an Osteopath in the vicinity, believe they will have no trouble in getting them to cooperate, let me know about that. Yes, sure will arrange for the appliance for her, with no charge if she is getting the other treatment but there is little use in using the one without the other, so be sure and let me know about that.
   Am writing Mrs. [...] today, do hope it will be possible for her to have the treatments some way, any thing that we can do to help know we will be glad to do so. Would she consider coming here for a visit, and let us arrange for treatments here for her?
   You may be sure if [2587] needs further readings we will take care of that alright.
   Am sending you a couple of the booklets under separate cover, and will be glad to send more at any time you wish them.
   Thanking you and assuring you of our desire to help.
   With all good wishes
   Sincerely [signed] Edgar Cayce
3. 10/02/41 Mother submitted further questions.
4. 10/04/41 See 2084-9.
