Second set of letters dated Sept. 26, 1929, read as follows:
"Your letter of Sept. 3 to hand, and find herewith 13c in stamps for
'Herb Lore.' I take it from your letter that I can find out from this
book whether your herbs will cure the dropsy as described in my pre-
vious letter. Am I right?
Yours,
M. G. MASTERS, Box 201."
Reply, dated Sept. 30, 1929, reads as follows:
"We are mailing you a copy of our 'Herb Lore' under separate cov-
er. Chapter IV, dealing with the heart, has articles that will describe
for you the Chinese theories regarding your ailment.
Our herbs are compounded to meet the particular needs of each in-
dividual. Should you decide to have our herbalist compound herbs for
you, you may send $10 in money order or by check, and we will mail
you the herbs postpaid and insured. Out of town patrons keep in touch
with the herbalist by writing of the progress noted when ordering
more herbs.
Letter dated Nov. 1, 1929, reads as follows:

"Your letters and 'Herb Lore' received, and like I wrote have the
dropsy because the doctor says so. The flesh pits, and legs are all
swelled up, and teeth are getting black, and lips are swollen. If your
treatment will cure me, send at once, but if it won't please return
money.
