Some time ago we published an interview with Dr. Frank W. Haviland of New York City, who, after fifteen years of practice as a surgeon and physician, during which he built up a large practice, has discarded entirely medical and surgical practice, and has taken "the new way" of Christian Science. Some one at Fortuna questioned the authenticity of the printed review, claiming that there was no proof of its correctness or truth. Upon this B. H. Willsie, Esq., of Fortuna, wrote direct to Dr. Haviland, asking him about the interview as printed, as to its correctness, etc. Mr. Willsie received the following prompt reply:—
New York City, February 25, 1897.
205 West 118th Street.
"Dear Brother Willsie:—Your letter of 1st February received yesterday, and I take pleasure in stating that the article you referred to, copied from the Telegram, was correct, and that I am now practising Christian Science, and nothing else in the healing art but Christian Science.
