This psychic reading given by Edgar Cayce at his office, 115 West 35th Street, Virginia Beach, Va., this 8th day of October, 1929, in accordance with request made by Mr. [900].

Present: Edgar Cayce; Mrs. Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno. L. B. Cayce.

TEXT

1. EC: We have the body here, Dr. [5618]. This we have had before. Now, we find the resistance weakening in the physical forces of the body. The sepsis beginning in the fluids as gather about the kidneys.
2. We would give, as the resort at present, THIS as a dose, internally, in capsule preferably:

   Eucalyptol...................1 minim,
Rectified Oil of Turp........1 minim,
Canadian Balsam............1/2 minim,
Sulphate of Morphia.......1/60 grain.

   This, we would find, should act - though will be hard with the stomach - this should act on the kidneys, relieving the strain and pressure, giving an opportunity for reaction in the system. Ready for questions.
3. (Q) Is there any hope for this body to recover?
   (A) Would these but react with the condition - but react, we may have the reactions as would relieve. Not much hope, unless these ARE relieved - in this present.
4. We are through for the present.

   Copy to Mrs. [760] and wired to son [1005]
