The Inner Life
THE HERALD OF THE NEW AGE | MAY 1935
One girl asked for help for a woman whose leg had been amputated and she was very ill and wanted to die. The last report was that she was getting along finely, wanted to live and her family were having an automobile built so she could drive with one foot.
