Dear Dr. Allen:

I attended one of your courses at Spirit Lake a couple
of years ago and recall that you invited us to write you con-
cerning special problems. I am accepting that invitation.

We have a boy who was bothered with shin-splints all
of last basketball season. We tried an absolute rest of
two weeks together with the massage and hot ointments several
times, but it did not cure him of the affliction. During
these periods of rest, however, he worked in a grocery store
on Saturday and Saturday evenings. We cite this to ac-
quaint you with the history of the case. We are anxious
that the boy does not go through a similar experience this
year, so we ask your opinion concerning what ought to be done.

We have been using your manipulation of the sacro-.
iliac and we have not had a sprained ankle or knee in
two years. We shall certainly continue to use the treat-
ments.

Thanks in advance for any information you may see
fit to give us.

Respectfully yours,
