1. FA: Mr. Cayce, on July 8th, 1923, thirteen days ago [GD's note: 12 days ago] you told us in the reading given on the body of [3751] that the condition of this body was apparently worse, but in reality was much improved in many respects due to the breaking up of the condition which had previously existed. We are anxious at this time to know why, in view of this information, the body should have passed away within six days from the date of the reading referred to, and in view of the fact that everything was apparently done as prescribed and instructed, just what caused the death?
2. EC: Yes, we have these conditions here as of July 8th, 1923, and those July 14th, 1923, [3751] here. The condition that was as breaking in the system that needed be eliminated from the body through the correct channels as was given, so arranged through the eliminating forces as to break the cellular tissue through those of the arterial forces and to drain the system of the blood forces and produced internal poison through the body, this causing the disintegration of the spirit and soul forces from the physical body. This we see began on the 12th, four days after this information as given here.
3. (Q) Did the body suffer much pain before departing this life? (A) No, not at last, much before.
4. (Q) What was lacking in remedying this condition as described, on the 12th day, and what could have saved the body? (A) Prevention of the physical force breaking from the arterial blood supply in the facial portions of body and the destruction of tissue that produced the internal infection by this loss of the vital force. The prevention would have been through the distribution of blood supply by the manipulation in the secondary cardiac forces, as given times and times here, to produce, by this manipulation, the relaxing of the cardiac forces. Allowing blood to flow to the facial portions from the arterial circulation in the facial portions produced infection in the internal forces of the glands in the thyroid region.

5. (Q) Was everything carried out properly outside of the manipulations, and if not just where did the fault lie? (A) The manipulation, as we have given. With the manipulation of the nerve and muscular forces the circulation may be and can be governed in portions of the body with the destruction of that, that produces this obstruction, allowing the circulation to be carried through portions that had been cut off by the breaking up of the cellular force and caused the poisons from that portion of the body cut off to be assimilated internally to the glands and allowed the blood force to be lost in its destructive forces.
6. (Q) Had the atropine been administered earlier, would it have helped some? (A) Just as we have given - destructive forces produced by the breaking of tissue through, allowing strangulation forces to become relaxed and not eliminated through the channels as directed; would not have assisted had it reached this stage or condition as it had on the 12th. Should have been on the 9th, been adjusted through the manipulation, as we have given.
7. We are through. [See note below re Dr. Gravett.]
[GD's note: See subsequent report by Linden Shroyer at 3751-17, Par. R2. As I understand it, Dr. William A. Gravett, D.O., had followed the readings but was away on a convention at the time of 3751-16 and finally, on 7/12/23, a new osteopath - substitute for Dr. Gravett - was called in. Apparently he did not understand the type of treatment required.]
