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
