Mary Cash letter to Mrs. G. T. Bedell

 Collection
Identifier: MSS 2/010

Scope and Contents

Replies to inquiry concerning Mary C. Cash’s experience with homeopathic treatment for pain in her side and shoulder during the "prevailing epidemic". Her children also underwent treatment. Mrs. Cash continued eight weeks under the treatment of Constantine Hering, who visited her several times, but did not improve. She treated herself covertly with balsam of wild cherry for one week and her symptoms abated. Hering’s treatment proved beneficial to the Cash children, however. Mrs. Cash did not tell Hering of her self treatment and hopes Mrs. Bedell will not be offended by the story.
