He regarded his money as hav-

the doctors had simply cheated
him out of it, as we'll as his loved

When his wife finally passed
away Schuch was worth about
$4,000, and he swore to devote

He travelled far in search of his
cancer cure, and in the Bermuda

mad.
Whatever it was, he returned
to Denver and announced that he
had discovered the long-searched
for cure for cancer. The principal
ingredient of his cure was no less
a thing than limburger cheese,
which shows how strangely the
human mind works.
There also was another cure of
his which he called "Radio-Sul-

were unknown and mysterious
and totally unconvincing.

them. There were quite a lot of
these, because Schuch was man
who believed in himself so inplic-

others.
He decorated the walls of his
suite of offices with walls contain
ing cancers and tumors and other
evil appearing things, which he
enthusiastically showed to all
visitors.
And he soon began to make
money. Every cent that he made
went toward carrying on a vindic-
tive war against the medical pro-
fession, the members of which he
named as the murderers of his
mother and wife.
