OF INTEREST TO CHRISTIAN

To the Editor Of the Press.
My attention. has been called to an item
in your Issue of Jan. IL, headed "Died
of Christian Soienceism,H regarding the
death of Mrs Sherman, OF Law renee,
Mass. This article would tend to give
this impression that, because no physician
was called to see her, Mrs. Sherman's
case was neglected, and her death was
caused by this neglect.
l have Investigated this csse, and
would ask you o publiGh a statement of
the facts. Mrs. Sherman had, from
earliest childhood, been considered very
delicate. and for some years prior to try
ing Christian Science, had been under
the care OF the regular physicians, but
without profit. Becoming discouraged
under medical treatment, she came un-
der christian Science treatment, some
fourteen years ago, and was much bene-
hted by this method. Her relatives, who
by the way, are not Christian Scientists,
feel EeTf. city satisfied, stating that her
lie was prolonged many years by this
system.

had failed, there would seem TO be no
