Copy of letter written to Miss Caisse
by Mrs Forsythe
Utterson,
Oct. 15 1938

To Whom It May Concern-

At the birth of my second child, I was badly torn which my doctor did not attend to at the time. I went in this condition for about five years when

my doctor said I would have to have an operation. I went to Toronto, had a growth removed and the tear stitched.

All seemed well for some time, when I began to haemorrhage again. Had another operation and another growth removed. All went well for a time when

the haemorrhage reappeared. This time Dr H. C. Wales advised me to have radium which I did, a 36 hour treatment. This stopped things for a short

time when I began to have discharge which contained pus.

I went to the doctor, was examined but got no satisfaction and after examination bleeding started again. I went to Miss Caisse and begged her to

give me treatments. She did not want to do this but however after much persuasion Miss Caisse consented to treat me and I am happy to say that my

condition is 100 per cent better. I am able now to do all my own work, which before taking treatment from Miss Caisse I was unable to do.

Hoping you will see fit to allow Miss Caisse to continue this good work,

I remain
Yours truly
Signed
Mrs J. C. Forsythe
Utterson, Ont.
