3/25/29 Husband [
5505]'s letter: "...I guess I'll have to
apologize for not answering sooner your kind letter of
February 27th, you sent with the last reading, but this time
it was I who was feeling ill the last week and so had a hard
time in doing all that is necessary for me to do under the
present circumstances.
"Besides, I wanted to find out first as to how I could
arrange everything for the treatments for my wife so that I
could let you know all about it, also.
"Dr. Thorburn was asking too high a fee - first $7.00 for
each treatment, finally $5.00 - and as I thought Dr. Berger's
fee would be just as high, I asked the Osteopathic Society
for information and was directed to Dr. Mildred Perkins, a
young lady, living not so very far from us - 125 East 62nd
Street - who seems to be an efficient osteopath and, after
studying the readings, assured me that she was interested in
the case and would endeavor to carry out the suggestions as
given in the reading. Her fee is but $2.00.
"I succeeded in convincing my wife that she had to take the
treatments and she has got so far four of them - two every
week.
"I am very grateful for the second reading, indeed, and I am
glad that it stated that the previous treatments have brought
some improvement, even if we could not notice it; but I was
sorry that it did not say whether we could begin now with the
corrections and adjustments under heat. Dr. Perkins,
however, did so after two treatments and I hope it will be
alright. That is, she gives the heat with a big lamp before
or after the other treatment and believes that that is just
as good. I hope so, too, but would like to know, please, how
you think about it and besides, how many such treatments you
think my wife will have to take, about, before we can expect
any perceptible improvement.
"I will write you later again as to how we are getting along.
"Meanwhile I would like to ask you to make an appointment for
a physical reading for myself..." [See 5505-1.]
4/07/29 Husband [
5505]'s letter: "...I wish to let you know
that Dr. Perkins said she will check up on the case of my
wife after a little while. She told me that there is some
improvement in the physical condition, though I am sorry to
say that I can't notice anything of the kind myself so far,
after eight treatments.
"Dr. Perkins is a very nice young lady and seems to be trying
her very best to help my wife, but I almost begin to doubt
that there ever will be any results. My wife is very
short-winded and tired out after getting up one pair of
stairs or doing some work which requires a little movement,
and especially the last days she often felt dizzy and was
very confused and forgetful, so that she was mixing-up
everything again, but perhaps this is only a passing
condition and I don't give up hope yet entirely..."
4/21/29 Husband [
5505]'s letter (reporting on his own
reading):
"...About the treatments of my wife, I am sorry to say that
I had to give them up, as, though Dr. Perkins has tried her
very best, there was not the slightest improvement in the
condition of my wife after nine treatments and she seemed to
be right in insisting all the time that they were useless.
Her condition is exactly the same as in the beginning. I
must find out whether or not there is some other way to help
her. I am going to take the medicine as prescribed in my
reading..."
4/29/29 EC asked Mr. [
5505] to get in touch with Morton
Blumenthal and David E. Kahn, to discuss with them the
possibility of Mrs. [
5506] coming to Cayce Hospital for
treatment.
