Chief among the medical men summoned by California's Senator Hiram Johnson before the committee were Drs. Walter Bernard Coffey and John Davis Humber, cancer researchers at the Southern Pacific General Hospital, San Francisco. White-haired, horn-spectacled Dr. Coffey related his and his colleague's joint research, explained that their widely heralded "cancer cure" was "not a cure but an encouraging experiment." Dr. Coffey said that 1,506 cases, more than 1,300 them inoperable, had been treated with gratifying results.

Paucity of this substance permits, they think, dormant wild cells to grow into cancers. Their converse is to supply the patient the substance which apparently at once thwarts such rampant growth...
...however, the hills and high tablelands are deeply carpeted with a mantle of angular frost-broken and lichen-crusted material; transported boulders are not seen, or are small and conspicuously weathered; and the cliffs have very high talus-slopes, such as that of Hannah's Head on the lower Humber.
