Dear Mr. Cayce:
I wish to thank you for your prompt reply to my telegram
which arrived just after I did at the Hospital and just after
I had received the report of the x-ray examination, namely
that there was a mechanical obstruction at the distal end of
the small intestine. The surgeon on the case wished to
operate immediately and x-ray Doctor told me that two days
would be too long to wait for the operation. However, my
father came home the next day, and we have given him the
treatment faithfully as outlined by you. I arrived back at
my home in ... yesterday.
I was talking with my mother today and she reports my father
is feeling good, no complaints except gas.
I treated my father daily for 9 days before I had the lesions
corrected to my satisfaction. You will be interested to know
that they were from the 2nd to 6th dorsal on the right side.
Four days after arriving at my father's home, I got your Air
Mail letter and I must admit it was a revelation to me to
find you had localized the obstruction at exactly the same
spot the x-ray did.
I am enclosing the $10.00 which I understand from Mrs. [
2185]
is the fee for further instructions, if it is not correct let
me know and I will send you the balance.
There are two things now that my father is suffering from:
1. Disturbance in the abdomen from an excess accumulation of
gas.
2. Fear of an operation that was instilled in his mind by the
surgeon.
I would be grateful if when you are giving further advice if
it would include:
1. Means of relieving gas.
2. Instructions as to diet.
3. Further treatment.
4. If it would be advisable for him to come to my office in
... for treatment as his nearest osteopath is 30 miles away,
in Calais, Maine.
5. Is a surgical operation indicated at a future date, if so
would it be better to have it in Philadelphia; St. Stephen,
N.B.; the General Public Hospital or St. Joseph's in St.
John, N.B. Needless to say, if possible, we wish to avoid an
operation.
6. Is his present condition likely to shorten his life? If
so, how long can he be expected to live.
I am much interested in your readings. What is included in
the Life and Mental and Spiritual Readings and what is the
fee?

Please send the advice for further treatment to me and I will
call my father on the phone, in that way he will get the
advice about three or four days sooner.
