...Walter Bernard Coffey and John Davis Humber of California may operate a cancer research laboratory at Huntington, L. I., but they may treat no patients there with their adrenal cortex extract (TIME, May 25 et ante). So decreed the New York Board of Social Welfare last week. The Californians consider themselves only temporarily frustrated. They may take their application to New York courts for judicial review, with all protagonists under oath. Mrs. Grace Isabell Hammond Conners, who gave them her Long Island estate, was fretting last week for an appeal to Governor Franklin Delano Roosevelt, who was sailing home from...
...failed Bank of U. S. (TIME, Dec. 22 et seq.). She knew how he had got into the cancer fight: at Lawyer Durbrow's request. Mr. Satterlee had organized the New York Better Health Foundation. Then he had learned of harsh medical opposition to the Coffey-Humber work. Why should they not have opportunity to work in New York as in California? he wondered. Let them have opportunity to prove their value or their futility. He dashed into the professional battle with all his tenacity and brilliance, despite the fact that some of his best friends, potent New York...
...Satterlee sat immaculate at opposite ends of a long table. They intermittently scowled and smiled at each other. Dr. Hartwell, a tall, bald, big-boned, well-groomed gentleman, thoroughly hated his chore of speaking for New York medicine. But he and most of his associates want Drs. Coffey & Humber and their cancer extract kept away from New York. They are positive that the Californians have no scientific foundation for their work and claims. They fear that the hope of a Coffey-Humber cancer cure will persuade the cancerous to abandon the orthodox treatment of surgery, X-rays and radium...
...Clarence Cook Little, 42, onetime (1925-29) president of the University of Michigan, now managing director of the American Society for the Control of Cancer. His Society for the Control of Cancer, he explained, took no side on the Coffey-Humber matter. But he personally believed that Drs. Coffey & Humber had better follow up their work in California. Dr. Francis Carter Wood, 61, the ruddy, learned director of the Crocker Institute of Cancer Research, editor of the new American Journal of Cancer (TIME, Jan. 12) was also present. Dr. Wood is one of his country's greatest experimenters...
...cancer-they are uncertain of the cure, positive of the palliation-the rewards are stupendous in fame and wealth. For the wealth they care little. Dr. Coffey's professional income is more than $50,000 yearly, from the Southern Pacific, the Dollar Line, and private surgery. Dr. Humber "makes a living." His wife Agnes, a War nurse, is content. Say they: let the Better Health Foundations in New York and California get the royalties for the manufacture of Coffey-Humber extract. (They patented the process of extraction last year, before they knew exactly what they had, primarily to keep...
