Do you consider cleanliness, good order, and the attainment of 

 aesthetic effects in a patient's environment a part of treatment? 



Do you take any steps to isolate the patient sick of an infec- 

 tious disease, or to protect those about the patient from the disease? 



Do you treat structural diseases, as cancer or locomotor ataxia? 

 Do you consider you have cured such diseases? If so, how do 

 you know you were treating a structural disease, such as cancer or 

 locomotor ataxia? 



Would you treat cases of fracture of bones or violent injury? 

 If so, what would you do in such cases? 



Will you give me the names of patients whom you have treated, 

 with permission to inquire concerning their illnesses, your treat-

 it is stated that " all is mind, there is no matter." How is it pos- 

 sible, in treating disease, for you to separate mind from matter? 



Animals sometimes become sick; could they be cured by Chris-

 have appeared in this odd atmosjjhere hedged about by " counsel " 

 and other legal paraphernalia. Presently thereafter I had the 

 honor to receive a note from Mrs. Stetson, appointing a time for 

 me to call. When I did this, Mrs. Stetson gave me a letter which 

 had been sent her by Judge Hanna, and' which she permitted me 

 to use as I should see fit. This is the letter: 



"Boston, Mass., November 18, 1S98. 



"Editorial Office of The Christian Science Journal, Mrs. A. E. 

 Stetson, New Yorlc City: 



"Dear Sister: Mr. Metcalf handed me the questions sub- 

 mitted by Dr. Hubor. I have also received and carefully read 

 your letters. As I think Mr. Metcalf has informed you, this mat- 

 ter was referred to me from Concord. I have been so very busy 

 that I have not had time to give this matter the thorough attention 

 it needs until now. 



" I have carefully read and considered the entire paper. My 

 conclusion is that it will be wliolly impractical — indeed, I may say 

 impossible — to answer these questions in such a manner as to make
