and of late have publicly charged me
with falSehoods in my statements

ters.
ut 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.
81 am asking a 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
sery best. particularly in view Of the
fact that 1t recognizes the work I have
been trying to do partly through the
little book. The Road to Wellville.'
II do not sell or attempt to sell the
higher thought which Is more impor
ant than the kind CT food, bat have
aiken considerable pains to extend to
humanity such facts as may have
ONE to me on this subject.
In order that your mind may be re
'reshed | am herewith enclosing {
3opy of your good letter, also a cop!
If the little book, and if you win give

cation in order TO refute falsehoods
md under that method of treatment !
