"It was in February of 1948 when I purchased the medical clinic from Dr. Johnston. It then was renamed the Johnston-Gendel Clinic. Doctor Johnston remalized the staff for a five month period etiring at that time to private tions for cancer cure and treatment. This grim picture was contrasted with the present authorized treatment of cancer, used by reputable doctors in the medical profession, and the progress of research in the anticipated control of cancer.
