The above was the result-so the
label says-of an original analysis OF
the Aqua Nova Vita by Professor j.
G.. Spencer, NJ. D., chemist, of Cleve-
land. $500
According TO James P. Atkinson, a
chemist Of the New York Department
of Health. if there ever was any hydro
gen sulphate in Aqua Nova Vita ana
any one drank a dose of the stun ne
would now be dead
Hydrogen sulphate is sulphuric
acid" said Mr.. Atkinson, "and If one
could take "a teaspoonful Of any liquid
containing some II per cent OF THIS
deadly poison his stomach would have
a hole in it in short order"
What was evidently intended was
/ hydrogen sulphide, gas common IN
some waters.
For the benefit Of the same young
I doctor who thinks he has specihc 1or
/ cancer, let us first quote from rage
| 276 of "The Cancer Problem" by Will
/ Jam Seaman cambridge, A. D., SC; ~
/ NJ. D., professor Of surgery, New YORK
Polvclinic Medical School; surgeon at
! the New York Skin and Cancer Hos
nital honorary president of the First
/ international Congress for the STUDY
of Tumors and Cancers, held in Heidel-
/ berg eight years ago, and one OF the
recognized cancer experts;
"The study of the many agents and
methods which have been employed in
| the treatment of cancer leads to re-
| iteration of the statement that In the
present state of knowledge surgery Of
/ fers the only dependable hope OF cure.
Other agents may be employed, but
/ only as adjuvant agents"
/ As to the merit Of the claims OF
[ Aqua Nova Vita's sponsors, DR.. BAN
| bridge said:
"They are absurd"
/ Also, for the same doctor, and others
who may be using clinical bottles or
| this fraud cancer cure, let US quote
DR.. Benjamin F. Tilton, one of the
most eminent surgeons in the city:
aqua Nova Vita or anything else
that will put off operation in case
of cancer is nothing short Of murder
GUS"
DR.. Schoonover, onetime vice-presi-
dent Of the Aqua Nova Vita Company,
said he treated six cancer sufferers
and that five Of them died Of the
disease.
"But it was because the doctors
made them stop using Aqua Nova Vita,
which would have cured them. The
sixth patient is cured, and married,
and happy"
Memory Was Bad.
DR.. Schoonover, however, when
pressed could not remember the name
of the one person who took Aqua Nova
Vita and was cured Nor could he
say where she is living now, except
that il was somewhere in New Jersey.
Nor could he remember where she
lived when he treated her.
But, says Ferdinand Muckley:
at cured many people in Easton,
Penn. 1t is good for and will cure
every disease mentioned on the label"
Here are some of the diseases men
toned on the label that Aqua Nova
Vita will cure according to Muckley):
Blood and gland diseases; cancer,
internal and external; scrofula, ca
tarrh, hay fever, hardening Of the ar
teries, tuberculosis first and second
stages), senile decay Of old age (sicD,
anemia (loss of strength and tissue
(sicD, nervous diseases; in the first
stage Of paralysis, paresis, paranoia,
insomnia, locomotor ataxla, nervous
disorders due TO melancholy, women's
diseases. dropsy, diabetes, myxedemis,
Bright's disease, dyspepsia, indigestion
and chronic constipation, chronic
diarrhna, liver, kidney and stomach
troubles; typhus, typhoid and enteric
(sicD fevers; all scalp and skin
diseases due TO blood impurity, bac-
terial or vegetable parasites.
But enough Of Aqua Nova Vita's
claims. Here is a statement that brands
it for what it is, culled from the label:
Results Always Sure"
"The color, taste and odor may vary,
but the results are always sure"
And adds Muckley:
and the analyses always vary. No
two analyses of the Aqua Nova Vita
agree. That, however, only goes TO show
how more amazing are our positive re-
sults-cures."
"But how about the Ave patients
who died?" he was asked.
THAT was because the doctors, who
always hate anything new and good,
prosecuted me and Aqua Nova Vita.
They told the patients 10 stop using lt.
The patients stopped using It and they
died"
"Yes, that's the reason" interjected
DR.. Schoonover.
Some day, if the authorities do cot
stop it in the meantime, the Aqua
Nova Vita Company will establish
sanatoriums all over the country. That
is one of Muckley's dreams. 1t is also
20 be found under the name of DR..
William II. McGreevy present address
+ ton, PENN, who is described as
the chief medical director Of the Aqua
Nova Vita Company.
