Dr. Forrest C. Allen,
lerence, Kansas
Dear Dr. Allene

I am writing to you in regard to the condition of
Mrs. Thompson, whom I think you have met, and whose condition is
beginning to worry me a good deal. For several months, she has
been suffering severe pains in her left shoulder, and down the
left side of her back, and in the elbows. She consulted two doctors
about it, who diagnosed it arthritis, but neither of them offered
any boeatnout that has done any good. In the absence of any swelling
or stiffening in the joints, but rather in the muscles, she has
become convinced that it may myx not be diagnosed correctly.
Today she was talking to Mrs. J. A. Bruening, a long-time
sufferer from similar symptoms, who told her she had been all over
the United States and Mexico, and had found her only relief in
osteopathy, and was now considerably improved. Mrs. Thompson is
a slender person of mm great vitality and nervous energy, and during
the last few years, since the war, has been working very hard. She
not only has done all the work in a good-sized home, but the last
three summers has @umm had a big garden, far too much for her. But
I don't think she will ever slow down a good deal until she has tos
What I would like to learn from you is whether xm in your
wide experience and acquaintance here, you could wmsmm recommend someor
for her to see here in town and receive some treatments, and whether
in your opinion treatments of that sort would be of any aveil, as they
seem to have been for Mrs. Bruening. I dontt expect you to give an
opinion without further information, but we will be glad to arrange
that at your convenience. Any information you can give us will be

reatly eppreciated. With warmest regards, I am
Ss oe C. H. (Pip) Thompson.
