MRS. AToHERLEY REPMEs.

24S Beretania Avenue, Feb. 1t. 1908
| Editor Advertiser: Will you kindly
permit me to answer your elegant re-
marks against US for this occasion?
You print an alleged letter from Mr.
| Wallach, apparently signed by him
wherein he accuses US, of misuse of his
| formulaes.
Now, the remedy that cures 1eprosy
| is an organic extract and therefore car
not be compounded from a prescrip-
ton like a cough mixture; and if proof
is needed, wait till Mrs. Kaumakahia
(the case DR.. Atcherley certified could
not spread leprosy) has recovered.
And as to the ointment and Wal
ZACH Wine, there is no secret, or mys-
terry, or exclusive possession claimed as
Ito these-any clerk in a drug store
could compound them: but the organic
substance for injection can have no
component, parts. and therefore no
formula. and is the one specific that
places leprosy among the durable dis
eases and the only thing at all secret.
1t is really amusing to see how des-
perately you struggle to force one of
the many ordinary routine remedies
into a secret cure-that you may tri-
umphant1y announce that our boosted
remedy is, after all, some innocent
salts in daily use.
Ever since DR.. Atcherley announced
on the night of the 2Sth of December
1907, at mass meeting held at Aala
Park, that Wallach's remedy was the
specific for leprosy-that WaIlach had
always declared it to be-ever since
this confirmation neither you nor Pres
ident Pinkham has ever doubted its
powers. All the doubts you have ex-
pressed in the paper as to the genuine
powers of this alleged specific have
simply been done to mislead the popu-
lace.
You are very much to blame in mis-
leading the Governor with the pre-
tense of believing the. abominable
falsehood continually expressed by
Pfnkham, with the object of compro-
missing him as party to the perf1dy
of those who refused to carry out
their signed agreement. Your veracious
paper continues to applaud the we'll
bred gentlemen of the Board of
Health, who refuse the lepers the ben
eft of treatment to save their Qepers')
lives. These gentlemen members have
also gone back on their pledged word
and charged Mr.. Wallach of being
guilty of the same crime
We have seen Mr.. Wallach and he
denies that he ever wrote the letter
you have printed in your paper. He
told us. that the Advertiser reporter
asked him some questions as to what
he had given DR.. Atcherley. He stated
that he had not given DR.. Atcherley
the CWallach's) formula of the remedy
for leprosy, and this statement he
signed. 1t is perfectly true, because
there is no formula for the leprosy
specific, it being an organic substance
and not a combination of chemicals to
be written as formula You can not
cure people with the formula, but yots
can with the remedy, and this DIR.
Atcherley is now using, Mr. WaHacli
having handed it over to him a few
days before the summons to appear in
court reached him, when he was too
sick himself to attend to his duties IN
the office. 1t is obvious that this was
inserted to impose on the public and
put an end to the treatment, on the
pretense that DR.. Atcherley had not
the remedy. If the Advertiser or any,
one else doubts 1T, they can come and
see it-and see it used and see how
the patients recognize it by the same
reaction.
MARY H. ATCHERLEY.
