My dear Miss Eldridge:
Our physical examination showed a number of
conditions that require further investigation. We note your
persistent loss in weight and this does not appear to be accompanied
by any lung conditions or organic disease so far as our examina-
tion disclosed.
The x-ray of the teeth showed tather definite
evidence of mouth infection. Several of your teeth show shadows
running through the roots that usually indicate infection. Such
teeth are a great menace to health and may cause a long range of
serious systemin trouble, and we believe that you should discuss
with your dentist and doctor the advisability of having these
teeth removed. It is quite possible that they are responsible
for your depressed state of health and loss in weight. However,
where there has been such persistent loss in weight, and this loss
is not due to errors in diet, every precaution should be taken
to search for the cause. We would recommend an x-ray examination
of the chest, also an examination of the feces OT bowel discharges,
in order to ascertain whether there are any parasites present.
These examinations could be arranged at the Institute if you desire
them,
