APPENDICES
These lists are compiled from the multitude of index cards, register books, consolidated counts, and other records stored in the Panacea Society’s General Archive and Healing Collection (in Bedford). While there are some clear and continuous sources for some countries for some time periods, the records are frequently discontinuous or duplicated. Every effort has been made to avoid duplication and to identify individual applicants by their actual country of residence at the time of application.
