The above is from New Jersey while the two following are from Michigan and Illinois, respectively:
“Have you any information in regard to this party and his treatment for cancer? This is the first I have heard of any such work having been done. One wonders if it is presented in good faith or if the money god has overcome the gentleman’s scientific spirit.”
“Is this just one more of them? Why a roan horse? Some people might want serum from a nice bay or calico cow pony.”
The literature referred to comes in an envelop bearing the name of “T. J. Glover, Research Laboratory, Toronto, Canada,” but mailed, apparently, from New York City. The enclosures are a single sheet circular signed Thomas Joseph Glover and entitled “Etiology of Cancer,” a “Directions” slip and a card quoting prices. In the circular Dr. Glover states that he has prepared a serum from immunized horses, “between ages of seven and nine years, of the roan type,” and has injected this intramuscularly “into patients in the advanced stages of cancer and noticed that it has a specific action on every known type of cancer.” Further:
“Up to the present time I have apparently cured cancer of the face, eye, nose, lip, mouth, tongue, stomach, bowel, bladder, breast and uterus.”
In addition to the circular, was a small leaflet giving directions for the injection of the serum and also a card bearing Dr. Glover’s name and Toronto address and reading:
