To Rev. J. H. Twichell, in Hartford:  
LONDON, Jan. 8, 1900.  
DEAR JOE,--Mental Telepathy has scored another. Mental Telegraphy will  
be greatly respected a century hence.  
By the accident of writing my sister and describing to her the  
remarkable cures made by Kellgren with his hands and without drugs, I  
brought upon myself a quite stunning surprise; for she wrote to me that  
she had been taking this very treatment in Buffalo--and that it was an  
American invention.  
Well, it does really turn out that Dr. Still, in the middle of Kansas,  
in a village, began to experiment in 1874, only five years after  
Kellgren began the same work obscurely in the village of Gotha, in  
Germany. Dr. Still seems to be an honest man; therefore I am persuaded  
that Kellgren moved him to his experiments by Mental Telegraphy across  
six hours of longitude, without need of a wire. By the time Still began  
to experiment, Kellgren had completed his development of the  
principles of his system and established himself in a good practice in  
London--1874--and was in good shape to convey his discovery to Kansas,  
Mental Telegraphically.  
Yes, I was greatly surprised to find that my mare's nest was much in  
1015
