10/11 Affidavit:
INTRODUCTION
Hopkinsville, Ky., October, 1911.
DEAR FRIEND:
In answer to your inquiry received at this office relative to
the ability of Edgar Cayce to diagnose and recommend
treatment for disease.
We wish to state that the publicity came at a time when the
experimenting was only partially completed, but as the cases
treated according to his diagnoses have responded beyond our
highest expectation as evidenced by a volume of testimonials
and affidavits both from patients and physicians. We feel
that in doing further research work our field of usefulness
can be gradually extended beyond the confines of his native
state and we hope to be able to benefit some hopeless
sufferer in your vicinity. Mr. Cayce's method is unique and
so far as we have been able to learn he stands alone in his
particular field. All of Mr. Cayce's work is done while
under self imposed hypnotism using correct medical terms and
describing the case under observation just as though he was
looking into the different organs and describing same in
technical language as evidenced by the following:
Mrs. A. C. N., age 30, Nov. 11, 1910; no children, had never
been examined.
"The cause of all the trouble in this body lies in the
pelvis, as a result we have reflex neurotic trouble which
completely wrecks her nerves at times, especially when these
organs become engorged, once a month when they are aggravated
and cause all sorts of trouble. The trouble here is local
but the effect is all over the whole system. Accompanying
this we find severe pain across the upper lumbars, just above
the hips, a pulling down feeling, pains run down the legs to
the knee, we also find pains between the shoulders along the
spine and severe headache on top of the head. The trouble is
all confined to the womb, ovaries are not effected.
"Treatment - A slight operation will be necessary to remove
this trouble. This body will not be well until this is done
as the condition here is responsible for entire trouble. The
trouble in her back will then clear away slowly after lesion
in pelvis is removed." Immediately following this Mr. N.
called in a surgeon to examine his wife, which he did most
thoroughly, following which he told Mr. N. "That nothing
except an operation would avail any results in his wife's
case." And Mr. N. promptly notified us by telephone and when
the operation was to be performed. Mrs. N. entered a
hospital early in 1911 and operation was performed. At this
writing Mrs. N. states that she has entirely recovered her
health.
