dle as he refused to give necessary inform ation. Finally he asked me to tell him of all the various things that might cause it and I did. He then wanted to know what form of treat ment would apply to these various causes and I explained that also. He then said he would take the auto hernic treatment
 The Improvement in his condition was so rapid and he was so grateful
 that at last decided to spring a sur prise on him and when he finally said that he felt confident that he was per- manently cured, I answered, "Yek

 He admitted that I was right but could not understand how learned of
 his early life and of the terrible di-
 sease which he thought that no one
 knew about but himself as the doctor
 that treated him was dead.
 I explained to him that such di- seases leave an imprint or scar that
 are an open book to the observing
 physician and that the worst thing
 any patient can do is to try to deceive
 the doctor. He apologized and was so grateful for the improvement in
 his health that I did not press the matter further.

 seen a worse case of varicose veins L found also a serious case of neph-

 Club Notes
 Dear Dr. Reeder: About six months ago I was told by my family doctor 5 that I had cancer of the breast. He took me to a local surgeon who is
 considered very skiHful and they ad-
 vised me that both of my breasts
 would have to be removed One of
 the breasts was very bad indeed and
 very painful. There was a lump in
 it quite hard, also some Jumps under
 the arm but they were soft The ! other breast was not so badly in-
 famed and not so painful but there was one or two Jumps in it
 have a horror of operations and
 decided to write to you first I detail | ed all of my symptoms to you and I
 1 was very happy when received your
 ] reply in which you advised a simple
 I method of treatment for me to follow
 at home for a while and which you
 believed woa4d prove to my satisfac- e ton whether or not had cancer. It n is needless to say that followed your = directions religiously and reported to l. you whereupon you wrote out for me n a. very careful and complete course of q dietatic treatment and told me fully = how to care for myself for several t months. Already impressed with : confidence, have carried out the in- z, structions and I think it would be l difficult for you to find anywhere in B. the world anyone who could be more O grateful than I am.
 v All of the soreness and all of the n symptoms have entirely disappeared, - there has been no pain for over a > month and the only thing that is left e is a slight thickering at one place in l. the mamary gland. but there is no IS soreness in it and I am confident that r. if I continue treating it just as have 'f in the past even that thickness will d disappear. The condition of my health a is now better than it has been for e many years. I have just taken a trip d of several hundred miles to visit my l. mother and while there could not ~ follow as strict dietatic directions that
 I have at home, but having lived in
 such thorough accordance with your
 directions for so long experienced
 no i'll effects from the slight indul-
 gepce which I permitted and I was a very careful to never overeat The 3 result is that I feel even better now g than I did before went away.
 I have since been told by a very
 competent physician that a very large a proportion of operations for the re- ,- moVa1 of the entire breast were un- 1T necessary for the simple reason that ,e in a large number of the cases this r. condition was not cancer any more re than it was in mine and since I have 1. learned through you that a positively n nnf x7t3 ie s0P 11r
