Chicago, Illinois
My Dear Doctor:
Owing to some disagreement with
magazine several years ago
they have become quite vituperatiys
and OF late have publicly charged me
with falsehoods in my statements
that we have genuine testimonial let
tiers.
1T has been our rule to refrain
from publishing the names either OF
laymen or physicians who have writ.
ten to US in complimentary way.
and We have declined to accede to the
demand OF attorneys that we turn
these letters over to them
II am asking few men whom |
deem to be friends to permit me TO
reproduce some Of their letters over
their signatures in order to refute the
falsehoods
We have hundreds Of letters from
physicians. but esteem the one that
you wrote to me in 1906 among the
very best. particularly in view of he
fact that it recognizes the work | have
been trying to do partly through the
little book, The Road to MELVILLE
Il do not sell or attempt to sell the
higher thought which is more impor-
tant than the kind of food, but have
taken considera BILE pains to extend to
humanity such facts as may have
come to me on this subject
In order that your mind may be re-
freshed ! am herewith enclosing a
copy OF your good letter also a copy
of the little book, and II you will give
me the privilege of printing this over
your signature Will accompany the
printing with an explanation as 10
why you permitted its use in publ.
cation in order to refute falsehoods,
and under that method of treatment I
feel. so far as | know, there would be
no breach OF the code of ethics.
i trust this winter weather lis find.
ing you we'll, contented and enjoying
the fruits that are yours by right
With all best wishes. am"
Yours very truly.
