Records. Neoplasms, 1899-1983.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/23040119

Correspondence, clippings, articles, reports, and promotional and supplementary materials on cancer and fraudulent and "alternative" cancer treatments. The special data files are particularly rich in material on state cancer-quackery legislation. The correspondence files include items alleging a connection between cancer and cigarette smoking as early as 1928. The alphabetical files include American Cancer Society reports on unproven cancer treatments, 1955-1973. Also covered are major figures including Philip Drosnes and Lillian Lazenby, 1948-1965; Max Gerson, 1958-1981 (earlier Gerson material is under "Robinson Foundation for Cancer Research"); Thomas J. Glover, 1920-1965; John E. Gregory, 1948-1965; Emanuel Revici and Abraham Ravich, 1944-1973; Edward Percy Robinson, 1914-1965; and Jules Samuels, 1938-1974. Also in this section are materials on Autolysin, 1915-1918; Carcalon (a successor to the more infamous Krebiozen, also promoted by A.C. Ivy), 1967-1972; a cure promoted by C.T. Russell, the father of Jehovah's Witnesses, 1912-1923; and the CANCER NEWS JOURNAL, published by the International Association of Cancer Victims and Friends and devoted to alternative cancer therapies, 1967-1975. Several of the cancer-cure artists included in these files had other "specialties" which are also dealt with here.
