[Edgar Cayce; David E. Kahn, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno. Mr. Paul Fortin.]

Joint Disease Hospital Time of Reading 124th St. & Madison Ave., 5:45 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. New York City. (Physical Suggestion)

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here - [5641] - this we have had before. Now, as is seen, the weakness as is produced is from lack of nourishment and of assimilations for the system. As has been given, were those conditions followed AS GIVEN, there should be no reason why the body would not respond, even at the present condition.

2. First, begin with those minute quantities of the lime and cinnamon water, until stomach is settled. THEN begin with the milk, dried, that will nourish. When this has began to form assimilations, then DO NOT give such QUANTITIES - or made as quantities as were given in that of milk, egg and spirits frumenti - but just the small quantity of same at a time - not GOBS or mouths full, but as medicinal properties. These will aid the system. Do that. Then we would give the changes as would be necessary.

3. Ready for questions.

4. (Q) Can the body come to Virginia Beach at this time? (A) No.

5. (Q) When should the body come, if he should? (A) When he gets in shape TO come! Don’t go to those until we get them in a condition so they can!

6. (Q) In order to direct us on the lime and cinnamon water, what is meant by small amounts? (A) Teaspoonful.

7. (Q) Does that still hold good with milk, egg and spirits frumenti? (A) It does! and as medicine, not as QUANTITIES! but let the system first begin to absorb the MILK before you begin with this. It takes twenty-four hours for absorption to fully take place in system. The body will not STARVE, if it is settled so that the gastric juices of the system may have the proper way in which to act. No water should be given after this, other than that carrying properties as have been outlined, and not in glass full, but small quantity. May be taken often, so that system will absorb same. Not so that it overfloods, for this is just the same as pouring acid on fire.

8. (Q) Should any osteopathic treatments be given at once? (A) If given properly, would be very good to allay the nervousness from strain and inactivity, or inertia.

9. (Q) Is Dr. Morrison the right doctor at this time? (A) This has been given. Do as we have given! We are through for the present.

Reports

Reports & Follow-up

R1. GD’s note: Within a month Dr. [5641] died. We don’t have the exact date of his death, but word came to us on 9/23/29 that he had died.

R2. 12/1/31 EC’s letter to [2504]: ”…I must tell you here, Mr. [2504], one of my experiences while in New York, as no doubt you remember Dr. [5641] and the outcome. A few days after I arrived in New York Dr. [5641]‘s son, a young man 27 years old, came in to see me. He said, ‘Mr. Cayce, I would like to talk with you a few minutes. I am sure you have wondered why you have not heard from my mother, sister, and me, since Father’s death. We simply haven’t known what to say. Not knowing you, not ever having met you face to face, and having been brought up in the way we had, we just didn’t know what to say! You must have thought, knowing the true conditions, very much as the lady who introduced Mother to the work - she was a real good friend of Mother’s, but she didn’t even attend Father’s funeral, feeling she has possibly shortened his days by introducing him to your work; yet we want you to know, that - though you did not give Father that which would enable him to live you did give him that he could die by! You did bring to his consciousness the knowledge of a living God! Father was past fifty when he came to see you, and he didn’t believe in a hereafter or in a God - but if you could have heard him the weeks after his return from the Cayce Hospital, it would have done your heart good. He said to us over and over again that he knew there was a God, for he had seen Him manifested through a man giving his life to help others. We didn’t have Father with us, suffering as he did, but we know that he has gone to the Father who makes all things well. We, his little family - his son, wife and daughter - have come to love God for you have made Him known to us!

“I believe, Mr. [2504], that was one of the most touching experiences of my whole life; and then to have such a thing as being arrested for fortune telling come right on top of it

• how can you explain it?”

[GD’s note: Dr. [5641]‘s daughter became a member of A.R.E. while we were in New York, 11/6/31, the day before we were arrested for fortune telling.]

R3. 3/31/39 Letter from a man inquiring about readings for himself and daughter: ”…Many hours Dr. [5641] and myself were speaking about your reading while he was there. Dr. [5641] was an atheist until he came back from you, not only once but many times afterwards he told me ’[…], Cayce’s reading convinced me beyond any doubt that there is a God…’ He had a terrible death but with this belief he was unshaken until the end…”
