OBSTINATE CHRISTIAN SCIENTISTS
Refused to Give Medicine 20 Their
Two Dying Children.

Refused to Give Medicine TO Their
Two Dying Children.
Pittsburg, Jan. S.-Frank Martsok
and his wife, Of New Brighton, havV
been believers in Christian Science for
three years. and so confirmed In the
doctrine are they that they have seen
two Of their children die Of malignant
diphtheria and are willing to see their
remaining child perish rather than
take her case "out Of the hands of the
Lord"
Not until forced to do SO by the
health authorities would the parents
permit a physician In the house. Even
then the father refused to give the
medicine prescribed, and the health Of
ficials were compelled to take the tam
lily in charge. When the first child.
Nancy. died Martsolf called on an un-
dertaker to bury her. When asked for
the certificate OF death he said there
was none. and Coroner Taylor began
an Investigation. He found the second
child, Roy, in the last stages of the
disease. and ordered DR.. Boyd to treat
him. The father refused to give the
boy the medicine. and he died few
hours later. The health officials are
now in charge and may be able to save
the third child and the father both o,
whom are down with the disease.
Beaver Valle- people are very much
wrought up cTer the matter, and II is
likely that Christian Science, with its
prominent leaders in New Brighton.
will be investigated by the courts.
