I must once more trespass on your kindness and ask you to allow me to make a final reply to a doctor's latest letter, in which he indulges in further misrepresentations of Christian Science.
I have read with much interest "Talks on Health" in your recent issue, where "A Family Doctor" emphasizes the necessity for overcoming the habit of worrying, with its deleterious effects on the health of those who indulge it.
Under the caption of "The Mighty Have Fallen," your issue of June 17 contained misleading statements and inferences relative to The Christian Science Monitor, and space is desired for comment regarding them.
