Mr. Arthur Brisbane was neither correct nor just when he intimated, in your issues of yesterday [October 7], that Christian Scientists are annoyed when a medical remedy is found for a disease. In fact, we regard disease as an aspect of evil, and are entirely willing that it should be abated or abolished by any means. For a spiritual reason, we prefer to depend for our health upon spiritual law, power, and practice, but our religion teaches us to be considerate of other people.

Incidentally, it is to be observed that Mr. Brisbane's belief in the indiscriminate use of iodine as a remedy for goiter could be easily contradicted by quotations from medical writers, but this is another matter.
