CASE REPORT
Date of First Reading: Jan 23rd 1935
In your opinion did this analysis cover the condition?
Yes, very well.
Give symptoms of condition described correctly.
Paralysis of left side, complete in arm, leg and face from
Feb 3 1934, and considerably improved up to time of reading
11 months later, as stated in reading.
Have the suggestions for treatment been followed exactly
as given?
Yes.
For how long?
Practically continuously with short lapses.
Have improvements resulted?
Condition greatly improved.
To what extent?
General strength of entire body, much greater activity in
arm and leg. Greater comfort in paralyzed parts from use
of rubbing compound and wet cell battery. Less indigestion
if diet is followed. Greatest difficulty at present is not
to overdo and draw too much on reserve strength & energy.
Readings have recommended rest.
Comment:
Recently I talked with Dr. Wm. Hale, Utica, N.Y. about
filling out the physician's questionnaire which he took
with him. Because of my improved condition his visits are
much less frequent and I have not seen him to ask if he made
out or sent in the paper. He greatly approved the use of the
diet, battery and rubbing compound. I had stopped using the
battery a short time but have resumed it with considerable
thought I believe.
I am very grateful to have had Mr. Cayce's help and
suggestions -

Dear Miss [
798]:
We appreciated your letter of October 23, and the report
which you inclosed with it.
We were happy to learn that you have improved and that you
found the information interesting as well as helpful. It is
most difficult to secure the complete cooperation of
individuals even after they have secured a reading.
Therefore, we are always glad to have our members follow
through and report the details of points where the
information checked as well as the results obtained.
With your permission I would like to use your case for a
research report - without the name as is customary.
Please advise us if we may be of any further service at any
time. Your doctor indicated that he would like to see
another reading on your condition now. If you think this
advisable include any questions that will be of help or
interest to you or to him.
Sincerely yours,
Hugh Lynn Cayce, Manager

My dear Mr. Cayce-
I am sorry to have delayed answering your letter of January
Tenth. I expected to do so every day, but after the
extremely busy and executive life that I led for many years,
when everything had to be done on time, I find, since my
illness that there is a luxury to PROCRASTINATION which is
more of a temptation than I am always able to resist. The
absolute physical and mental weariness which after my long
years culminated in this disabling illness was such a burden
that even after two years I find I still have to push myself
to accomplish even the simplest sort of thing. My mind is
much more active to plan than my physical strength is able
to carry out, altho I am surprised when I suddenly realize
the steady increase in both physical and mental strength
which becomes perceptible when I find myself worrying or
thinking easily and naturally in a way very impossible for
the past two years. Dr. Hale has given me exceptionally good
care and advice and I have been wonderfully blessed in the
loving attention of my family and nurse. As you said in your
letter it is difficult, even with the best of intentions
to give the fullest cooperation in these cases. But I have
tried to have a regular routine, as much as is possible as
we are a energetic family. I have kept quite accurately to
the diet suggested by Mr. Cayce, particularly as regards
fresh vegetables, salads and fruits. The battery I believe
has been very worth while and at the times when I have not
used it for a few days, I have missed it. Whether this was
a reality or imagination I can't say, for there is no
perceptible sensation while it is in use but it seems to
me that it has a very decided effect on the circulation
and condition of my hand and foot. The rubbing compound
I have used quite regularly and thoroughly enjoy. Once the
family became accustomed to the odor of the mixture of
gasoline and oils, there were fewer sniffs when it was being
used and personally I rather like it. I have just begun on
my third half-gallon bottle. It is surprising to think that
my body has absorbed over a gallon of that compound.
I have been most interested in the way you are trying to make
a definite test of Mr. Cayce's powers and to get as much of
a scientific basis for the remarkable results he has had.
The diagnosis of my present condition and, in the Life
Reading. The description of characteristics probably known
only to myself [See 798-4], were most accurate and
convincing. I should be glad to have you use my case in the
record without the name, of course, if you think it would be
helpful.
As for another reading, I think it would be very useful just
now. As my cousin Mr. [
261] has arranged for all the
previous readings. I am uncertain just what there is to do.
If you will let me know I should be glad to try. Assuring
you of my interest and with thanks for which Mr. Cayce has
done to help me, I am
Very sincerely yours, [
798]
GD's note: Miss [
798], her cousin told us, died very
suddenly in the Fall of 1936.
