I'VE have hundreds of letters from
physicians, but l esteem the one that
you wrote t O me in 1906 among the
very best, particularly in view of the
fact that it recognizes the work l have
been trying to do partly through the
little book, The Road to Wellville.'

methods, that of accompanying each

but the food contained in this little

good fellowship to you from a man
who, although he has never seen you,
