State of Ohio, Ottawa County, ss:
Lorenz O. Kilmer being duly sworn says:-
My father, Henry A. Kilmer of Oak Harbor, Ohio, has suffered
a chronic stomach disorder for some past years. After
consulting stomach specialists and being under the care of
our family physician at the time, I was prompted to wire Mr.
David E. Kahn then residing in Cleburne, Texas, requesting
him to secure a reading, to be given by Mr. Cayce, a
gentleman, who knew no member of our family.
I knew Mr. Cayce indirectly, having heard Mr. Kahn speak
often of his almost unbelievable power, also having read
several readings which had been forwarded Mr. Kahn while
in the A.E.F.
As a diagnosis, his reading of father's physical condition,
that is from my personal view-point, not being a physician,
was PERFECT. His extreme nervousness - his worry for the
past years was explained explicitly - the particular organ
of his body, his stomach, his entire difficulty.
Quoting in part: "The effect on the body has been noticeable
especially on the nervous system. The action of impression
on the brain in the body, is to carry the dread of the
condition of which his father died or passed into the beyond.
He need not fear, if he take the proper precautions. Forget
what the other fellow died with - forget the affliction of
Cancer entirely, as that is what he died with, but this
body hasn't it as he thinks to himself. He is not heir
to it unless he brings them on himself", the diagnosis
and instructions for relief etc.
1. Grandfather died of Cancer of the stomach.
2. Father suffered EXTREME NERVOUSNESS.
3. Father worried repeatedly in the past relative a cancer.
4. After following instructions, father's physical
condition by far the best it has been for years.
5. Father was in Columbus, Ohio, at the time of reading.
6. Reading judged by entire family as remarkable.

for an urgent case in this organization."
