None of this stopped Dr. Ivy. Though he had lost his high office at the University of Illinois because of Krebiozen, he continued to treat up to 50 patients a day in his laboratories at Chicago's Roosevelt University. A north side general practitioner, Dr. William F. P. Phillips, went.on treating 500 or more patients, and Durovic's Promak Laboratories continued to prepare Krebiozen ampules and distribute them through the foundation...
...Court and got indictments on 49 counts (later reduced to 42) against the foundation, Dr. Ivy, Dr. Durovic, his lawyer-financier brother Marko, and Dr. Phillips. The charges ranged from mail fraud and conspiracy to defraud the public to submitting false statements to Government agencies.

Hoffman declared: "This case bristles with issues of veracity...
Last week, despite the mountains of evidence amassed by the prosecution, the jury decided every last one of those issues in the defendants' favor and acquitted them on all counts. It was clearly the question of Krebiozen's medicinal value that had been on the jurymen's minds. Explained Foreman Adolph J. Beranek: "There had been no fair test of Krebiozen. We were convinced that it had some merit, and we were not in a position to kill it without a fair trial...
