...entrances on different streets to divert suspicion, an oldtime quack stunt. Old Doc Embry uses the same method?"Dr. Embry" on the door of a squalid office for Negroes, "The Parker Health Institute" on a communicating office door for whites. His gyp game is to thrill and mystify the patient by the intimated cure-all powers of the Xray. His staff found the Tribune man very ill, but curable for $90, $20 down...
...McCarthy, stocky, smooth faced, of medium height, heavy, spectacled and prematurely grey, sat looking at the patient, asked a few questions, declared he suffered from "prostatic trouble" curable by "electric treatment" for $100, $20 down.

There the roots make connections and presently the implanted tooth is functioning properly...
...Only long and painstaking study of the disease as influenced by this remedy will result in improving the results so far obtained. . . . Of the 50 [improved] cases, one has gone five years without a return of the disease, others from two to three; but most of the patients are too recent to enable a definite opinion. . . . Unfortunately it is quite impossible at present to determine the type of cancer which will be favorably influenced, so that no guarantee of improvement can be offered to any individual case. Some people bear the lead injections without serious disturbance, while others show evidence...
