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.
