Excerpts from Letters Concerning Christian Science Camp Welfare Work

[From a Christian Science Wartime Minister]

An aviation cadet suffering from rheumatic fever was sent to a naval hospital. All soreness and swelling disappeared in three or four days after Christian Science treatment was started. The doctor ordered him to remain six weeks in the hospital to guard against "aftereffects," and he was told that at the end of that time he would be examined and his discharge from the service recommended, as the aftereffects would prevent his becoming a naval aviator.

The physician, however, provided no treatment, and at the end of the required six weeks it was found that no heart condition such as had been feared, existed. All other conditions were so good that the cadet was told that he would not have to undergo observation, and that he would be able to resume aviation instruction after a short furlough.
