...Hewlett Johnson, 85, better known as the Red Dean of Canterbury, who has swallowed all sorts of pink pap in his time, disclosed that he is now taking it subcutaneously. Hewlett's wife Nowell Mary, 53, has been injecting him with Substance H3, a "youth serum" containing novocain and unspecified acids, developed by the dean's good friend, Dr. Anna ("Age is an illness; age is curable") Asian, at her rejuvenation clinic in Bucharest. He is now running on a three-month supply of the stuff that he brought from Rumania...

James of Ohio State University College of Medicine (cooperating with Sloan-Kettering in the study) injected Novocain, measured an inch and a half below the tattoo mark, and made a neat incision about an inch long across the arm. He folded back the skin above and below it, then cut out a little gobbet of flesh which embraced the site of the implant. All these biopsy specimens were flown to Manhattan for study. From some, it was found, all cancer cells had vanished within the week...
