This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at the Tutwiler Hotel, Birmingham, Alabama, this 4th day of December, 1922, in accordance with request made by her son-in-law and daughter, Judge [5710] and Mrs. [5709].

Time of Reading 3:17 P. M. ..., West Virginia.
1. EC: Yes, we have the body here. Now, we find the abnormal conditions in this body have to do with the eliminating systems, especially, do we find the blood on account of this condition incapable of producing perfect coagulation, so that where we have broken tissue in the body, it has become hard or incapable of making perfect unison of tissue or healing properties to all the body.
2. Now, these are conditions as we find them in this body, Mrs. [4316], we are speaking of, ..., West Virginia: The blood has so become anemictised by elements absorbed in the system as to prevent the lucosite [leucocyte] forces to carry on their proper functioning throughout the system. This, however, is rather a condition existing rather than the seat of the trouble or that which produced the condition now existing, for the beginning of this was in times back, and the effect that was brought to bear on the organs of elimination produced in the system, that which weakened the cellular force of the extremities, especially, as to bring or to leave in these, that which should be eliminated through other portions of the body as well as through the respiratory system. The gradual debilitation of the force was created, not that the supply is insufficient, but those elements needed to create the cell-building unit in the various portions of the body and when one cell became entangled in its circulation or way over the system, we produced this broken condition, see, that is in times back.
3. Now the condition as existing at present to bring the better condition we must take into consideration that which produced or brought about the condition, as well as that exiting [existing?] at the present time. The numbers in white blood are deficient. In the nerve forces, the body is fairly good in co-ordinating forces between the cerebrospinal and the other systems of the body. The brain forces in its activity and control is rather by the suggestion as reached by others than that of self assertion. The forces as through the action of the sensory forces are a

reflex of the condition in the circulation of the blood and the power of elimination over the system, though not specifically a condition, the action of elimination is shown through the organs as they function, that is, of the sensory forces. In the organs themselves, we find they are very good in their individual functioning. There are conditions through portions of the body that give the distress signal or condition from existing forces. We would give that to bring the normal forces to a better functioning basis, that which will give the necessary forces to produce coagulation and to give the blood forces the necessary elements to produce that element in the system. Take into the body, this:
4. To one gallon of rain water we would add:
Yellow Dock Root..................2 ounces, Burdock Root......................2 ounces, Black Snake or Black Root.........2 ounces, Yellow Root.......................2 ounces, Prickly Ash Bark..................2 ounces, Dogwood Bark......................2 ounces, Buchu Leaves......................3 grains, (This is SMALL amount, but we know what we are giving) Mandrake..........................3 grains.
This will be boiled, or simmered not boiled we should have said, (put a cover over it), until reduced to one quart, strain and while warm add 4 ounces of grain alcohol with three drams of Balsam of Tolu. For the abrasions on the body we would apply this:
5. Take Plantain, the leaves and the root, six ounces, reduce by simmering to a very low state, you see, that is six ounces of this added to one pint of water, simmer until it is almost turned into a jelly. Add oil of butterfat until we do make the solution jelly. [Note: This means butter without salt and the water and milk cooked out of it.] Apply this to the abrasions. These we find on the limbs here and the effect of some that were over the groin and lower portion, you see. We are through.
6. READING FOR THE DOSAGE, the dose for the medicine to be taken would be teaspoonful just before each meal.
7. The lotion that is to be applied: The abrasions would be dressed and then the lotion applied. When dressed, should be sponged off well with castile soap, then apply the lotion twice each day until the healing begins and is relieved, you see. This application and these properties taken into the system will relieve these condition as we have here in this,

Mrs. [4316] we are speaking of. It will relieve the blood pressure and the strain over the whole system. We are through.
