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

and we have declined to accede to the
demand of attorneys that We turn
these letters over to them
/ Il am asking q 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.
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
been trying to do partly through the
