from Sweden, in which osteopathy had been heralded as the anodyne  
for all human ills.

****  
To Rev. J. H. Twichell, in Hartford:  
DEAR JOE,--Livy does really make a little progress these past 3 or  
4
days, progress which is visible to even the untrained eye. The  
physicians are doing good work with her, but my notion is, that no art  
of healing is the best for all ills. I should distribute the ailments  
around: surgery cases to the surgeons; lupus to the actinic-ray  
specialist; nervous prostration to the Christian Scientist; most ills to  
the allopath and the homeopath; (in my own particular case) rheumatism,  
gout and bronchial attacks to the osteopathist.  
Mr. Rogers was to sail southward this morning--and here is this weather!  
I am sorry. I think it's a question if he gets away tomorrow.  
Ys Ever  
MARK.
