1/21/33 EC's letter:
Just a few days ago I wrote to you, but having rec'd yours of
the 17th I would like to reply at once.
Both Miss Davis and I appreciate what you say about the
information, and I am sure you enjoyed your visit with Miss
Swindall. We all here think so much of her, and have always
considered her such a lovely person. I have known her since
she was a very small child.
Now, as to Dr. Stabler's advice - I am sure you recognize the
fact that more often than otherwise we find the medical
profession disagreeing with the advice given through the
readings. There are times when they agree, but more often
not.
I would suggest that you talk to Dr. Percy Woodall (D.O.).
While he is a medical man AND an osteopath, not a surgeon, I
am sure he will know which man would be the proper one to
follow the reading. Dr. Woodall is well thought of in B'ham,
and knows considerable about the readings. He has treated
quite a number of cases in accordance with suggestions made
in the readings, and with most wonderful results. You might
tell him you have had the reading, and that you wish to
follow it. Possibly he doesn't do that kind of treating, but
he can refer you to one who will.
Then, I would advise that you follow out every suggestion in
the reading as given - even to changing the antiseptic in the
douche to creolin. The experience which I am giving
below will give you an idea as to how important it is to
follow each suggestion given, to the letter.
A couple came here from Johns Hopkins a few months ago. The
lady [Mrs. [
4125]] had been in hospitals in N.Y.,
Philadelphia, Baltimore and D.C. In every case the doctors
came to the conclusion that nothing could be done; in fact,
they told her husband to travel with her as long as his money
lasted, then to leave her somewhere. As the husband said to
me later, he didn't know whether it was best to let her go in
the ocean or to give her an overdose of the medicine which
had been given for her. Someone induced them to have a rdg.
They carried it to a physician in Norfolk [M. L. Richardson,
D.O.] who had already had some experience with following the
readings. When they asked him what he thought of her
condition, he only said: 'My report would be very much like
the ones you have from Baltimore and D.C., but we will follow
the reading exactly and see what happens.' He treated her
for two months. I saw him after that (when the lady was well
again and back home). He said to me, 'Cayce, I understand
you don't know what this is you do in the readings. I don't
know either, but I have eight to ten cases I am treating now
according to your suggestions - and there's not a single one
of them that isn't getting the results promised. Some of
them, as the readings said, can be helped, others cured
entirely. I am willing to stake what little reputation I
have on the fact, that if a person comes sincerely seeking -
and if any doctor will follow the outline given through the
reading, to the letter, not adding one iota nor taking one
iota from it - the results will be obtained.'
This man [M. L. Richardson, D.O.] is considered an authority
in the osteopathic profession, as well as in the medical in
certain types of surgery [osteopathic finger surgery]; he was
a teacher both in the osteopathic school and in the medical
school [Philadelphia?].
That's why I have been so anxious, Mrs. [
272], through all
this awful trial of yours, that you at least for a little
period get ALL the readings give, JUST what they give and no
more, no less; all they give - and then see what happens!
Many reports are coming in from day to day, and have been
through the years, from those who have gotten most marvellous
results. You can, too!
Of course, just to use the Atomidine and not have the
curetting done may localize the condition more and more.
While, as Dr. Stabler said, the curetting might distribute
the condition in your system, the Atomidine is for the very
purpose of assisting every gland to secrete the necessary
elements to eliminate that which would be destructive to any
portion of the system! Now, if the condition isn't
distributed in the system through the curetting, and the
glands - through the Atomidine attempt to create that which
would eliminate destructive forces coming to them from some
portion of the system that has been scattered - and it's not
there; then, can you expect to get exactly the results
promised? That's why I would advise that you consult with
Dr. Woodall, because he knows the [our] work - and I am sure
you will find him a wonderful man; I believe he would be glad
to talk with you.
There are a number of medical men there who have contacted
this work from time to time, but it has been so long since I
have been in direct touch with them that I would hesitate to
recommend them, not knowing now exactly how they feel.
Do you know Dr. Talley? [M.D.] He could advise with you, as
he knows the readings - he studied them for several years.
He is also a surgeon.
I would advise, then, that you see both of these men;
preferably Dr. Woodall first.
Now, LET'S SEE if we can't get results!
I certainly hope that we will be able to get something in the
Life Rdg. that will be very much worth while to you. We hope
to send this rdg. to you sometime during the early part of
the coming week.
1/22/33 Miss Elsie Swindall's letter to GD:
Mrs. [
272] is all upset - said she is pulled in every
direction...she doesn't know whether to follow Mr. Cayce's
reading or go by the doctor's advice. I told her of some of
the wonderful things I have seen Mr. Cayce do for people and
that I knew she would get results if she followed out the
reading. I just hope she will make up her mind to follow
it, and I believe she will. At least when she left me she
seemed inclined that way. I am going to get in touch with
you again if possible and find out just what she is doing,
and if she has ever had the operation [curettment] as advised
in the rdg. She seems to be a very lovely person and for the
first meeting I liked her very much.

Mr. Edgar Cayce
Virginia Beach, Va.
Dear Mr. Cayce:-
My taking of the Atomidine for 26 Days, twice a day, five to
eight drops at a time was up yesterday, February 4. I am
using the Creolin douches. I failed to be able to have the
currettment carried out. I went to see Dr. Woodall, as you
suggested. He was unfavorable toward the currettment, but
talked very sympathetic and kind; speaking very complimentary
of your work. I have not seen Dr. Talley. Since he is a
surgeon, I thought that he would be more inclined toward the
surgical field.
I am feeling better, but not entirely well. I still have a
discharge and rhumatic pains in my fingers and knees.
Dr. Black read in the medical journal a report of the work of
some doctors in Berlin who had vaccinated the patients with
G.C. vaccine directly in the tissues of the cervix. He is
thinking of trying this on me. Would it be advisible? He
said that he might start it next Friday, February 10.
One is told so much until it is confusing. I am trying to
improve myself and your suggestions will help me greatly. I
am eagerly waiting your letter concerning my health and the
one about my Life Reading.
Sincerely, [
272]
2/09/33 EC's letter:
Yours of the 5th has just been received. Miss Gladys, I
think, has sent to you the interpretation she has made of the
information given in your Life Reading. I hope this will be
of help.
I do not feel that I am consciously qualified to give you the
advice you ask for, though I assure you I would be very glad
to give a check-physical reading at this time to see just
what would be recommended. However, from the past
information we have had, I do not consider it necessary for
an operation; though it might be that the vaccine would be
the very thing - or it might not be in this particular case.
We can make the appointment for the early part of the week -
say Monday or Tuesday, if you will wire us the address at
which you will be. But, of course, if you have already begun
with the new treatment, a reading would not be advisable
until later - when you have seen what results have been
obtained.
I can well understand how confused you must be from time to
time, with so many telling you different things; your anxiety
and desire to be rid of all these conditions as quickly as
possible makes it more confusing.
But let us know IF you desire that the check-reading be
undertaken Monday or Tuesday, and if so tell us the address
at which you will be.
Hoping that you may have chosen, or may choose the right
direction, and assuring you of our sincere desire to be of
service, I am
Sincerely, [EC]

P.S. If you decide you want the reading given, and can give
us the exact address at which you will be, I think it would
be well for you to be quiet and IN ATTUNE as near as possible
at that time; that is, in a receptive mood to receive the
very best that may be obtained; asking for the faith and
determination to follow that advice given, in order to
receive the desired results. GD.
P.S. #2. The sooner you can decide within your own self the
course you wish to pursue; that is, whether the readings or
some other source of information, the quicker I am sure you
will get the results. As it is said, no one can serve two
masters. GD.
