HORSE DIDN'T HAVE
MENTAL TREATMENT

Editor The Press: Under the
heading, Tried Mental Treatment
on Horse; 1t Died" report sent
out from Los Angeles appeared in
your paper of August 81. Careful
investigation of the facts discloses
that the trouble and subsequen re-
port were apparently instigated for
political ends As the facts dis
closed present widely different
view of the case, will you kindly
give them the benefit of space. Mr..
Beckins, who is a Christian Scien-
fist and prominent in business cir
cles, had two SEX horses treated by
Christian Science. Upon the re-
quest of those who had interested
themselves, one horse was sent to
a hospital and given veterinary
treatment but afterwards died. The
other horse has entirely recovered.
I'm view. of these facts it appears
that the report would properly
have been entitled, Tried Veterin-
airy Treatment on Horse: 1t Died.
At least such would be the situa-
ton were there no established
prejudice in favor of either method
