Permit me to say to your readers that if a doctor was correctly reported in your recent issue he did himself an injustice by his disrespectful reference to Mary Baker Eddy in his address at Rochester. It was she of whom the late Clara Barton, founder of the American Red Cross, said in 1908, "Mrs. Eddy should have the respect, admiration, and love of the whole nation, for she is its greatest woman;" and further, that she regarded Mrs. Eddy "as the one person, regardless of sex, living to-day, who has done the greatest good for her fellow creatures."

Mrs. Eddy was the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science. She lived to be eighty-nine years of age. She was married three times, and in view of the authentic information obtainable and of the fact that her distinguished career has made her life almost an open book, her marriages provide no excuse for insinuation.
