This is taken from the book, The Edgar Cayce Reader...a most special book to me. Further it was quoted from On The Trellis of Memory, an unpublished work by Elithe Hamilton and Jenny Lind Porter.

An Ancient Formula for Living

I. Three Drops of Pity, a steady flow of compassion, and the gastric juices shall go about their work uninterrupted, and there shall be no stones nor inflammation.

II. Three Ounces of Unselfishness, generosity of thought and deed, and the body shall not be a prey to fevers, sending its warmth outward.

III. Seven Lungfuls of Laughter and Lovelit Speech, a habitual outpouring of joy, and the throat cannot ache and swell in its longing for laughter, and the tongue cannot parch in the absence of healing, medicinal words.

IV. Four Tumblers of Charity, a soothing and inexpensive cordial, and the very bones of us will respond, every joint and sinew laved and oiled by its grace.

V. One Injection of Far Memory, suffused through every vein, and the heart shall beat in harmony with the systole and diastole of life design.

VI. Two Swallows of Patience, nature's favorite remedy and the eyes shall not lose their power of sight and insight.

VII. A Long Steady Diet of Silence and Inner Control, the ancient hospital bed, and the brain shall not waver nor short circuit, keeping her metered pace.

VIII. Five Tablets from the Mills of Conscience, however bitter to the taste, and the ears cannot shut to the cries of heaven in the dust frames about us.

IX. Six Transfusions of Prayer on a Scale as Grand as the Cosmos, a remedy the most indigent may grasp, and the rich blood and the complex cell may not be attacked nor disordered.
