" Unethical"
Dr. William P. Nolan, of Jeannette, Pa., discoverer of an alleged cure for tuberculosis based on inhalation of calcium fumes ( TIME, May 12, June 25), was expelled from the Westmoreland County Medical Society for " unethical conduct." Dr. Nolan, according to the American Medical Association, has been selling his "cure" by mail at $100 a shot, although its therapeutic properties have not yet been scientifically verified. Dr. Nolan was present at the meeting, and declared it a " frame-up," with only a handful of the members there. He announced he would continue to promote his cure.
