NAME Mrs. [
4630]
ADDRESS ..., Ill.
Kindly advise us in the space below if you have followed
all, or any part, of the suggestions given in your reading
of April 5, 1927, and give us in detail the exact results
you have obtained.
I am following all the suggestions which are given in the
Reading. There was some delay in getting the Balsam of
sulphur, am using it now three weeks Tuesday and Friday
evenings. The Radio Active Pad, I received three weeks ago
after wearing it three days I was nearly blistered and my
condition was worse so I left it off a few days. I wear it
again two weeks constantly day and night. It does not draw
like that anymore and I feel much better again. Will not
give up the Pad when the time expires as I think it does me
good and it would not be a fair trial for the long standing
of my condition. Will write again in about two weeks.

Dear Mr. Cayce
I promised to write in two weeks but as it goes so slow
I though I would wait another week. I wear the Radio Pad
day and night exposing it twice daily to sunlight or the
strongest obtainable daylight according to directions but
we have very few sunlight days the last two months its mostly
gloomy and rainy days. The Pad sure could work better if it
would get the sun.
I could not get the Balsam of Sulphur prepared by the Martin
Drug Co. they wrote back if I could tell the percentage of
sulphur to be used then they would prepare it for me so I
went to the Druggist here in town and asked him. He told me
how to boil it he said I could do that myself it would be so
much cheaper for me it was 60 cents a 1 1/2 lb. now I would
like to know if the next Reading should be given after this
is used up or is it best to use two lbs. the way Reading
tells. The Druggist said I should try it on a small amount
he could not tell how much it would be after it would be
done. I have enough yet for about two weeks.
I will keep this up because I just think it will help me. I
feel much better than I did after wearing the Pad a few days
but I could not go without the brace.
Yours Truly [

6/07/27 EC's letter:
Dear Mrs. [
4630]:
Replying to yours of June 1st, I am certainly very glad to
know that you are feeling some improvement, and I am hoping
that with improved conditions in the weather - giving you
the opportunity to have full benefits from the pad - that
you will be feeling a whole lot better. I would keep up
the massage with the Balsam of Sulphur, until the whole two
pounds is used. Then sometime the first or the middle of
July we will be able then to get the other reading, and see
how you have progressed.
Of course I know you realize that the improvement is going
to come slowly at first, anyway. It is a great deal harder
to build up than it is to tear down, and while we may have
outward applications, the real building, of course, must
come from within the body itself. Do not use the Balsam of
Sulphur to the extent that it produces a rash, which might
occur from getting damp or wet. Don't have that trouble.
Be careful of keeping your feet dry, especially. Don't try
to do without your brace until you have gained a whole lot
in strength, and ability to control all of the nerve and
muscular forces of the body. I appreciate your writing,
and assure you it is our desire to be of help.
Let us hear from you again by the first of July. With
kindest personal regards, I am
Sincerely, Edgar Cayce EC:GD

Dear Mr. Cayce:
I still am using of the 1 1/2 lb. Balsam of Sulphur the last
time I wrote I though it would be enough for about two weeks
but it will last now yet for a week or two. I got some more
to boil the other 1/2 lbs. so I think we have to postpone the
next reading for some time in August if I should use the two
lbs. of Balsam of Sulphur.
I am slowly improving so I am satisfied. If its alright with
you like this you do not need to answer I will write again
sometime in July.
Yours truly [

Dear Mr. Cayce
I want to let you know how I am getting along as this is the
latter part of July already I think you are anxious to hear
from me. Since Sunday my head is worse again and don't know
that I done anything that could be the cause as I am very
careful about the work I do and follow the suggestions that
is given in the reading. If you could make an appointment
for the other readings sometime in August I would appreciate
it very much as I am worried.
I have a class in Sunday school if I feel Sunday again as
I did last Sun. I am afraid I have to give it up I could
hardly manage it. Hoping to hear from you soon.
Yours Truly [
4630]
8/15/27 EC's letter:
Dear Mrs. [
4630]:
I'm sure you are wondering why you haven't heard from us
before this. There has been so much on hand - with the
making of preparations for the actual erection of the
institution - that my correspondence has been sadly neglected
for some weeks. I am hoping though that you have been
getting along better than when you wrote on the 28th - for
if you haven't I'm sure you would have written me to make the
appointment for the reading before this. Whenever you feel
you would like to have another reading to check up on the
conditions, we shall be glad to make the appointment for you.
Let us hear from you whenever you have the opportunity.
Sincerely, Edgar Cayce EC:GD

Dear Mr. Cayce:
I was so glad to receive your letter as I was disappointed
when I received the letter from the Association. I'm not
financially situated as to become a member. I don't want to
be under no obligations if you would want to give me another
reading under the same conditions as the last I would only
be too glad to have another. I was very bad for 2 or 3 weeks
but am feeling so much better again the last few days. If
ever I will be able to pick up my work again I will make
good which I cannot do now.
Hoping to hear from you again and wishing every success for
the Institution
Sincerely [
4630]
8/31/27 EC's letter:
Dear Mrs. [
4630]:
Replying to yours of the 22nd, we were very glad to have your
letter, and we certainly are glad to know you were feeling
some better when you wrote - and I hope you will continue to
do so.
I want to make some explanation, Mrs. [
4630], about the work
of the Association. It is NOT the purpose of the Association
to work a hardship on anyone. Rather its purpose is to be
able to more effectively assist those desiring information
through these sources. Neither is it the purpose to make one
feel that they are under obligations in obtaining readings
when they are not financially able to contribute a full
membership to the Association. Neither does it intend
to make one feel in such a position that they are charity
patients. But, as you well know, when one goes into a
proposition and has to make definite plans and have various
groups of individuals who are making a scientific study of
the phenomena and the results that individuals obtain through
following the suggestions of same, we have to know just
about how the thing is set up. Something on the order of
the minister. While it is not compulsory for people to
contribute to the church, yet each one knows the minister
and his helpers must live as others, and it is necessary
then to make a definite budget and from the purely business
standpoint we have to know how that budget is to be made
up. So, rest assured - whenever you want an appointment made
for another reading - you will only have to write to us, and
you may contribute whatever you see fit. This will be
credited toward your membership, and while a membership at
the present time may not mean anything more than the ability
to obtain readings through the regular channels, we feel very
sure that as this data is gathered and gotten in shape so
it may be distributed to the members of the Association,
this membership is going to prove very much worth while to
anyone who cares to study the various phases of life and the
phenomena of life, for we feel very sure that the source of
information will not be excelled anywhere in the world.
Thanking you for your letter, and hoping we may hear from you
again, and with all good wishes,
Sincerely, Edgar Cayce EC:GD

Dear Mr. Cayce:
Enclosed find check for $10. Please make an appointment for
a Reading to your convenience. I have not been getting any
worse since my last letter. Get along pretty good can go
without brace sometimes. For working I wear it. Had very
much trouble in eating to bring the food to my mouth on the
fork but this is better than it was. Would like to know if
sewing harms me. Made my living with dress making but had
to give up on account of this ailment after I had the brace
a few months I started to do a little sewing and kept it up
since. It was the easiest thing I could do and I just had to
do something to meet expenses.
My voice is often kind of husky would also like to know if
its any thing serious there is so much phlegm in my throat
especially in the morning.
Hoping that you can give me a Reading soon. I am

My dear Mrs. [
4630]:
Replying to yours of the 8th, we are making the appointment
- as you will see from the enclosed card - for the morning of
the 19th. From your letter, Mrs. [
4630], I think it would be
very well for you to make a list of questions to have asked
when this reading is given. I am certainly glad to know you
are feeling better, and I hope you will continue to do so -
and I certainly trust we may offer some suggestions at this
time that will prove even more beneficial at this time than
we have gotten thus far.
Hoping we may be of service, I am
Sincerely, Edgar Cayce EC:GD
9/15/27 Questions submitted:
The questions are:
Is there still a goitre and does it cause any trouble.
What is the cause of that pain in my throat sometimes does
that cause that phlegm.
Does Dress making harm me.
Should I continue wearing the brace.
Could anything be done for my right arm since the operation I
can not raise it above my head.
Hoping this will reach you before the Reading. I am
9/15/27 [
4630]'s letter:
Dear Mr. Cayce
Yours of the 13th received. Thank your for the appointment.
When I started with this affliction I had a goitre the Dr.
thought that it was the cause of pulling my head to the side
it was inward, but after taking tablets for a few months the
goitre got smaller but my head got worse so he said it can't
be the goitre because it was so much smaller. So I had an
X Ray taken but nothing showed on there except a shadow under
the chest but the Dr. didn't think much of it. Later I had
another taken at the Clinic. There they said it didn't show
anything wrong.
If I ask too many questions leave sewing and brace out just
so I get the main thing.
