Two Physicians :
Doubt Worth Of
Cancer Cure
Detroit Experts Testify
al Federal TrieI Of
Dr.. Koch and Brother
BY DOROTHY WILLIAMS

Claims regarding the efficacy OF
three Koch Laboratory prepara-
tionS in the treatment OF allergies
and infections were questioned
today by two Detroit physicians,
testifying al the trial of DR.. Will
liam F. Koch.
The products. manufactured and
distributed by the laboratory
which Doctor Koch heads. are the
basis of the action against the
57-year-old former University OF
Michigan chemistry professor and
practicing physician, and his
brother, Louis, secretary-treasurer
of the firm.
Doctor Koch has attracted in
ternational attention with his So
called cancer cure.
SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE
A Jury Of nine women and five
men is hearing the highly scien-
tific evidence against the brothers
in the court of Federal Judge
( Ernest A. O'Brien.
Specifically, the Kochs are
charged with violation of the
/ United States Food, Drug and
+ Cosmetic Act. The government
claims they misbranded and mis-
represented their products.
Interpretations in question and
their labels are: benzoquiHone,
for the. infections and Itheir
sequelae,' glyoXylide, for 'allergy,
cancer, Infection" and malonide.
"anti-allergic.
DR.. Frank A. Weiser, president
of the staff Of Eloise Hospital,
and a specialist in kidney infec-
tionS and their sequelae. or after
effects, was questioned by John c.
Ray, assistant district attorney.
WISH THERE WERE
"DO YOU know of your own
knowledge whether there Is one
cure all these infections you
have listed" Ray asked.
+ Doctor WeiSer replied:
II have never read in any ac-
cepted medical journal and I
, have never heard that such q
substance exists-one substance
which would fix up everything.
j wish there were"
Allergy curative claims for the
? Koch products were attacked by
the government through the testi-
+ mony of Or. Stanley w. Insley.
l4054 Woodmont road, president
of the Michigan Allergy Society.
The jury was informed that an
allergy is a hyper-sensitivity to
, certain element and that hay fever
is the best known allergy.
EXPERIMENTS TOLD
He told of experiments on
, guinea pigs using solutions fur
, nished him by the government and
purporting 10 be identical with the
Koch preparations indicated for
allergies.
Doctor Insley explained that
T, first he sensitiZed guinea pigs TO
egg white. thus artificially creating
I an egg white allergy. He then
gave one group glyoxylic acid and
; a second group malonic acid.
When exposed TO egg white a
second time, they died OF shock,
receiving no protection from the
drugs, Doctor Insley said
II concluded the glyoxylic acid
had no protective value In
allergies," Doctor Insley said Il
came To the same conclusion In
regards to malonic acid"
Questioned about the anti
allergic' claim of malonide, Doctor
Insley replied:

ing by the underground news coming
out of the conquered nations the COM
mon people never heard the Goering

hungry and work like ell Sshickel-
gruber has probably joined Mussolini

been missing from the stage of war

were left to be captured in the far

saving his own hide by sprinting for

Personally we don't give a tinker'S
dam for the whereabouts or what hap
pens to the unholy bunch carrying
on the unholy war against decency
and democracy in Europe, Asia or
Africa or for the yellow bellies in the
South Seas. What we are concerned
with is our American and Ely boys
fighting to save their country from
becoming puppet to Hitler, Mussolini
and Hirohito and their secret admirers
in this country. One American boys
life is worth more to us than the lives
of the whole old country caboodle

zers in Ely or elsewhere. We are also
concerned with the lives and welfare
of our allies in the theatre of war
and hope that Russia, Britain and
China with our assistance will soon
clean up the bloodthirsty and territory
seeking horde in Europe.
Already it is becoming noised about
that the Prussian Junkers are getting
ready to sell out in this war, as in
the last war, by asking for an arnlis-
tice to save their faces. The uncon-
ditional surrender ukase promulgated
by America England, Russia and
China, knocked the props from under
the Junker war mongers. To bring
home to them the gravity of the situa-
ton they have created is the fact that

Europe are being bombed and destroy
ed in retaliation for the destruction
wrought by the German horde on
conquered countries.
