"Gentlemen: Yours of the 13th instant received, advising that 

 herbs can be compounded for the case described in previous letters and 

 that one week's supply will not be sufficient. Will you please let me 

 know if the treatments that follow the first supply will consist of the 

 same herbs, and what do you estimate it will cost to cure the trouble ? 



Respectfully, 



C. A. MILES."

 "Dear Mr. Miles: 



The herbs that would be compounded to meet your needs would not 

 necessarily be the same each time. The herbalist keeps in touch with 

 out of town patrons by having them write each week of the extent of 

 progress noted. Herbs are changed, if necessary, according to contents 

 of letter received. 



We cannot make an estimate as to the cost of herbs because it is 

 difficult to determine how long it will take your particular system to 

 respond. Different individuals vary in the length of time. After you 

 have taken the herbs for awhile, and have kept in touch with the herb- 

 alist, he may be in a position to tell you approximately how long you 

 would have to take the herbs. The length of time depends on the in- 

 dividual. 



Yours truly, 



FONGWAN - - -."
