A PHYSICIAN CURED OF LEPROSY

with contributions from Alfred Farlow, G. W. Barrett

At a public hearing held March 3 before the Committee on Public Health of the Massachusetts Legislature, the petitioner for certain proposed restrictive legislation called attention to a statement made by Mr. Alfred Farlow some years ago, that a case of leprosy had been healed by Christian Science, and he challenged Mr. Farlow to produce evidence of the healing of this so-called incurable disease. Mr. Farlow thereupon telegraphed to G. W. Barrett, M.D., for corroboration of his statement. This telegram and Dr. Barrett's reply follow.

George W. Barrett, 2249A South Grand Avenue, St. Louis, Mo.

Do you still claim that you have been healed of leprosy by Christian Science? Give date of healing. Wire immediately. Alfred Farlow.

St. Louis, Mo., March 3, 1908.

Alfred Farlow, Berkeley Building, Boston.

Healing took place 25th day of September, 1891. You are correct in your inquiry. Will find full account in Sentinel, Jan. 11, 1900.

G. W. Barrett.
