from publishing the names either OF
laymen or physicians who have writ

demand Of attorneys that we turn
these letters over to them.

deem to be friends to permit me to
reproduce some Of their letters over
their signatures in order to refute the
falsehoods.
I'VE 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 the
fact that 1t recognizes the work have

Of the race rests In individual soul
culture.
'Tn taking q step in this direction
your process has been so original and
unique that 1t must set a pace for
other concerns until finally the whole
country gets favored with genuine,
practical Christianity.

Nuts, not SO much for the sake of the
food itself as for the accompanying
suggestions.
