interested in my case / wish to tell you

until lt was gone entirely. | cannot ex-
press my gratitude as have been sick for
years, treating with SO many prominent
physicians and getting worse all the time
l bless the day that l left San francisco
Tor Washington as l know that had l not
come here and consulted you | would
have been in my grave. l wish that every
one might read this as | want them to
keow how much l have to be thankful
for. May you live many years to relieve
and bless your fellow creatures.
Yours truly.
