Dr. Forrest C. Allen,
801 Louisiana Street,
Lawrence, Kansas.

Dear Doctor Allen:

I am inviting you to join the Kansas State Osteo-
pathic Association and enjoy all the benefits of the association
membership. At present the greatest benefit is the backing in
professional and legal affairs, which is accorded all members.

The American Medical Association is assisting the
MD's of Kansas in their fight to limit Osteopathic practice.
As my office is almost in the shadow of the Kansas State
University Hospital, where all the Kansas University medical
students take their junior and senior year's work, I often
hear through my patients and neighbors what is being taught
them concerning Osteopathy. One just recently told one of
my patients that they just had to fight us to protect them-
selves as they paid so much for their education. It is up
to us to protect ourselves and if we lose our court battle
in Kansas, then other states will soom lose also. Let us
unite for Osteopathy?.

I am enclosing a membership blank which I hope

you will fill owt and mail to Dr. Raymond L. DeLong, 721 First
National Bank Bldg., Wichita, Kansas.
