(Q) Should I take any liquid medicines after I take such as
Inner Clean?
(A) As indicated, such medicines - whether Inner Clean, a
liquid or a pellet or a tea, or a syrup - are merely to set
up better circulation so that poisons are eliminated. The
greater amount of drosses of all natures, as the common
sense knows if giving it consideration, are carried through
the alimentary canal. These are not the ONLY sources; for
the kidneys, the breath, the perspiratory system also
eliminate certain drosses or poisons. But the greater
amount, - seventy-four percent, - is usually eliminated
through alimentary canal.
Then, as indicated, there are times when, - as in throat,
nasal passages, or some indicated disturbance through some
portion of the body is seen, or a feeling as of nausea or
dizziness. These indicate some toxic condition of a
functioning organ, and the necessary stimulating of the
activities of the functioning system by a laxative or
cathartic.
There are other times when the same natures indicated that
properties are needed that will aid in stimulating a better
flow through the activities of the kidneys. Thus, as
indicated, the alternation of these varied properties,
naturally, have their activity upon the varied portions of
functioning system. And thus when only ONE is taken there
becomes the waiting, depending upon, becoming subservient to
an expected flow of some activity as produced by the
particular element.
But, as indicated, for this body the vegetable compounds are
preferable.
Now, as may be seen in the activity of the senna base, -
these are active principles that increase not only the flow
of lymph through alimentary canal, thus flushing the system,
but induce a better flow through the activity of the kidneys,
the liver, and upon the respiratory system. But if this were
taken ONLY, and just greater doses taken, gradually the
effect of this lessens, and there is the dependence upon such
for the activity of the organs themselves, that should
secrete those possibilities of purifying or cleansing
themselves. Thus other properties, as the vegetable
compounds that act in such as herbs, teas, or the like, which
causes a different effect upon even these same organs, -
making a greater stress upon other portions of functioning
organs.
Hence when these are used, let them be used sensibly. Of
course, as the body understands, these only throw greater
amounts of poisons, from the functioning organs and the
alimentary canal, into the colon proper. These are not
always eliminated from same. Thus a colonic or enema enables
the colon to be purified, thus causing a coordinating
throughout the body.
(Q) Reference the farm situation: What particular town is
the best center from which to buy a tidewater farm in Va.?
(A) This depends upon what is to be the greater outlay, or
that as to be produced on same. As we find, and as we have
indicated, there are in the Tidewater area those on which
there might be produced that to fulfil most any purpose, yet
in many areas of same if there is produced cattle, horses,
sheep, goats or the like, little of same can be well
obtained. Hence any portion of this that is desired, or that
may be obtained. Little of same can be well obtained. Hence
some portions are much preferable for such products. There
are areas, to be sure, that may have something of a
combination. Whether these are the areas near the outlets or
towns, or the abilities to have correct transportation for
general activities, - you won't find all in one, any more
than you find the taste of apple in peaches or pears or plums
all the same! Ye have to make a choice. What do you choose
to do?
(Q) Who is the best person in Va. with whom to work to buy a
farm?
(A) If you choose the best, you would choose the Governor!
If you choose one who has farms to sell, then you'll choose
anyone who has - or who represents some area, or some
particular group.
(Q) I have in my hands a plastic gun cap which has been
accepted by [Gen. Brehon Somervell] for the government for
army use. What is the next proper and best way to have this
purchased by the army?
(A) To go through the regular channels as would be the
direction from Somerville, for those who are the purchasing
powers or agents in the use of such.
(Q) Is it worthy of a lot of time at this time?
(A) No; though you can get it sold if you want to.
(Q) Upon what particular thing should I put the most stress
at this time for the greater war effort?
(A) As indicated, if this is to be consistent, and if the
body is to be consistent, - and as given, if you are to offer
self in certain channels be consistent with it. If ye are
desirous of still multiplying the ability to control certain
areas or departments, then choose.
But as we find, follow those things suggested. For, it won't
be always making materials of war. And many of these, as ye
have offered, or been suggested to offer services, have to
do with the material and the moral and the spiritual welfare
of folks! And are creative things, while war is a
destructive thing. But choose.
(Q) How long should I hold these stocks for safety to my
investments: First, Grumman Air?
(A) This is rather safe if purchased outright, and very
speculative if held on margin.
(Q) Gen. Elec.?
(A) This is safe - ye can keep as long as you desire.
(Q) Florsheim Shoe?
(A) This will take a real dip, but will eventually be very
safe.
(Q) United Air Products Corp.?
(A) This will not be a great deal of change, and hence as
outright is a productive purchase.
(Q) U.S. Playing Card?
(A) This is very good. At times becomes very speculative,
owing to the activities in control of same, but is a good
stock.
(Q) Republic Steel Common?
(A) Changes in these make this rather a questionable holding
stock for long terms. But is will eventually be safe -
though may require several years.
(Q) Is there any better stock than these, to be safe and
with good returns?
(A) As we find, as we would give as the safest, and for the
better returns, are Tel and Tel, the Norfolk and Western
Railroad, the General Electric, and any of the electric or
power companies are the better. The industrials are the ones
- the dams and of such will be well; as any of those that
have to do with building materials.
(Q) Should I visit Washington Monday as planned, or wait and
go to Dayton Wednesday?
(A) As we find, this will wait and some of the activities to
be had on Tuesday won't!
(Q) To which ones on Tuesday do you refer?
(A) Some that are to come up, and some that are already a
part of the active forces.
(Q) Should I better stay in N.Y. for that day?
(A) Not as we find?
(Q) Where should I best be?
(A) On the road to Dayton.
(Q) Advise me an my friend Harry Erlicher, Vice-Pres. of the
Gen. Elec. Co., now in his office at Schenectady, what we
can do together to aid the war efforts of Chas. Wilson chief
of the WP.B.
(A) You better listen at Wilson than try to tell him what to
do! The handling out of projects has already been begun. As
indicated, offer self - or selves - as channels of activity,
and ye may be used in these connections in some other things
being opened.
(Q) How can I best serve the [
257] Pencil Co. of N. Bergen?
to get business?
(A) You've already given them sufficient. Just keep on in
those same things that you are bidding on in the present.
(Q) How can I further aid Mersman Bros. of Celina, O?
(A) These are doing very well, just keep those same patterns
and carry those various things as they arise to the attention
and to this activity. [See 257-251, Par. R8. See also
257-203, Par. 13-A, 14-A.]
(Q) Reference Scientific Development Co., who are beginning
to make lenses, of Celina, Ohio: The Webers, father and son,
[Dr. Leroy A. Weber.] are beginning to work with me, but they
have not arrived at a satisfactory basis, so please advise me
how to proceed, to be fair to all concerned?
(A) Carry on in those negotiations and on the basis that has
already been started. These are questionable ye are dealing
with, but they can be brought to the opportunities for
themselves, as well as for all concerned in same. And they
will stay hitched.
(Q) Am I unreasonable in asking that they purchase the
outstanding stock for my account and I pay them fully the
amount they pay out?
(A) This as we find will require - if they are to go on -
this causes some of that discussion, and the preventing them
from full agreement. There may be some needs for a little
alteration, but is not an unreasonable thing on either side.
(Q) Can we maintain friendly relations after the war, if
this plan is carried through on this basis?
(A) May be friendly relations, but there won't be a great
deal for them to do in this same direction, unless they are
joined with those in making other products that are
necessarily a part of both the activities in the other
products that may become a part of same, as well as the
supplying of parts in electrical devices.
(Q) Would Brunswick be able to supply these needs for the
factory?
(A) Partially, but not near the full amount of the output of
the factory.
(Q) How can I further cement my friendship with Gen. Thos.
Hayes, chief of Ordinance?
(A) Just keeping in line with those things already begun,
and these will be kept - if the same policies are held by
both.
As to whether each will keep that same idea is within
himself, not from here. Neither would prognostications be
made on either individual.
(Q) How can I further serve Col. E. C. Franklin, who is the
active head of Ordinance, and my friend?
(A) These are very good relationships. Just keep them in
that same vein.
(Q) Can I help Franklin attain his full colonelship?
(A) This is Franklin's job, not [
257]'s. But you may aid in
keeping those that may give same in mind.
(Q) How can I work closely with Brower McIntyre, who is head
of Smaller Plants Bureau, who is now residing at the Raleigh
Hotel in Washington (in the Barclay Hotel in N.Y. today)?
(A) Only as we find in aiding in making the connections or
associations with those various groups that are to be aided
through this particular office.
(Q) Is the Smaller Plants idea a good one?
(A) Good one, provided it does not get into the rut of
choosing certain groups and not helping all; otherwise, it
may become a stumblingblock and a smelly thing for some in
same.
(Q) How can I aid C. O. Sayler, head of Treasury
Procurement, in Washington D.C., who is a new man in this
job?
(A) In that of counsel as to the various pitfalls to which
this particular office gives access, or in the keeping in the
correct relationships of associations in these varied groups.
(Q) Walker Buzwell, same division, veneer section?
(A) These are working out very well. You will need to carry
some of these things to two or three plants you are not even
controlling at present.
(Q) Which are the best of these plants to have confidence
in?
(A) As we find, those in Carolina in one, and those in
Indiana in the others.
(Q) Would Carolina Wood Products be a good one, my old
factory?
(A) Could be made so, but you've got some awful stumps to
dig out of the way!
(Q) What particular one in N.C. would be a good one?
(A) Those that ye have been in touch with in these, or the
Carolina Veneer Company.
(Q) How can I help David O'Brien and Gen. Colter of the
Signal Corp. to make his job successful for the war effort?
(A) He is doing a very good job, just keep in close touch
with him. He won't allow being told too much, but he will
listen when advice is given.
(Q) Jack Palmer, National Housing - how can I aid him?
(A) In keeping in touch with various portions of the
department represented in same. Here he is dependent upon
reports of certain groups and individuals, and these are not
always in line with that as Jack has set as policies. Just
those warnings.
(Q) What plans should I now consider for Brunswick Radio and
Television, so we will be ready to proceed when the war is
over?
(A) As we find, all of these will have their periods of
readjustment, owing to the great variation that is to arise
from the adoption of new regulations and rules as will come
out of part of those activities in the war effort.
As to the stations, as to the type of distribution, as to all
of these. So, don't be too hasty in digging in, but do keep
the ear to the ground as to these changes - and be ready to
make those switches as necessary for creating that to meet
the needs of those conditions.
(Q) Should I employ engineers now and keep them busy until
that time investigating?
(A) No. Rather watch those who are the engineers for the
company, that is for the companies in the war efforts in the
communication and radio fields, and keep in mind those who
are making those contributions - to these changes being
wrought.
(Q) How long shall we plan to wait to introduce new lines,
for after war?
(A) Nine months.
We are through for the present.

Assn. for R. and E., Inc.

Dear Mr. Cayce:
The other reading I talked to Mrs. Turner about concerned
Mr. Ed Mersman owner of Mersman Furniture Company, then the
Manufacturers of tables.
Dr. Weber told me that the Mersman Company was losing money
and in danger of becoming bankrupt. His Son-In-Law was
running his business and advised him to sell. Mr. Mersman
did not want to sell.
Someone told Mr. Mersman to have a reading made by Mr. Cayce.
They did. Mr. Cayce said don't sell. He told them to go to
Chicago and there to see a young attorney by the name of
Henry Winterground (this may be the wrong spelling) and to
ask him to come to Celina and manage the business.
They didn't even know Attorney Winterground's address and
had to look it up in a phone book. They went to his office.
He was a young attorney just "putting his shingle up". He
listened to their story and said he would come to Celina and
manage the business, which he did.
The business prospered and became well known for their
tables. After this episode Mr. Mersman never made an
important decision until he had a reading from Mr. Cayce.
Mr. Mersman died about four to five years ago, [via the
[
257] series.] and the business was sold in the past year or
so.
I understand that other people in Celina, Ohio had readings
from Mr. Cayce and thought a lot of him.
Sincerely yours,
John J. Shea, M.D.
