Dr. Re W. George,
Tarkio College,
Tarkio, Missouri.

Dear Dr. George:

I am very sorry that I have neglected to answer your communication
of December 8th. I know how important you deem those things, because
I have had three sons of my own who played football, and I know that
you are concerned about it. However, your letter was under a mass of
correspondence that I had been uable to reach, which accounts for the

delay.

This is an accepted medical practice such as you described in the
case of your son. I do not believe it has any bad results. I have
always thought that most of the time it was treating the symptoms and
not removing the cause. However, with heat as an adjunct of _—
treatment, it has been found to be ~~ helpful.

You can appreciate, not having seen the knee and not cis much
about the injury, how very difficult it would be for me to pass an
opinion. I @ sure by now, however, that your son is getting along
nicely, as most of these cases respond to treatment if given a little
time. ;

Sincerely yours,

Director of Physical Education,
FCA:AH Varsity Basketball Coach.
