...always listen to your doctor

To Whom It May Concern:

I have specialized in the treatment of alcoholism for many years.
 
In late 1934 I attended a patient who, though he had been a competent businessman of good earning capacity, was an alcoholic of a type I had come to regard as hopeless.
 
In the course of his third treatment he acquired certain ideas concerning a possible means of recovery. As part of his rehabilitation he commenced to present his conceptions to other alcoholics, impressing upon them that they must do likewise with still others. This has become the basis of a rapidly growing fellowship of these men and their families. This man and over one hundred others appear to have recovered.
 
I personally know scores of cases who were of the type with whom other methods had failed completely.
 
These facts appear to be of extreme medical importance; because of the extraordinary possibilities of rapid growth inherent in this group they may mark a new epoch in the annals of alcoholism. These men may well have a remedy for thousands of such situations.
 
You may rely absolutely on anything they say about themselves.
 
Very truly yours,
William D. Silkworth, M.D.
