Then, too, some voters are concerned lest Percy's Christian Science attitudes affect his public policies, particularly in the field of health and welfare. Percy's reply: "In matters of personal health, I don't see doctors and I don't take drugs. But on the occasions it's required-for insurance, for school and so forth-the children are seen by a pediatrician. All of us, of course, see a dentist or an eye doctor.
