DOCTORS PLEAD WITH POLITICIANS
 
Two Petitions to Parliament
October 31st 1936

TO ;
The Honourable the Prime Minister of Ontario,
The Honourable the Minister of Health for Ontario, and
The Honourable the Attorney-General of Ontario.

This humble Petition of the Undersigned, in the Province of Ontario, sheweth as follows:-
1. That whereas Cancer is considered the greatest scourge to humanity.
2.  Whereas Miss Rene M Caisse of Bracebridge, has discovered "Essiac" a treatment which has proven to be a complete control, if not a cure for cancer.
3.  Whereas patients who were treated with "Essiac" several years ago, are still alive and well.
4.  Whereas Miss Caisse has pathological proof of "Essiac", her treatment for cancer.
5.  And whereas Miss Caisse is demonstrating this treatment before American University   Doctors,   which  will   inevitably   take   her   out   of  Canada permanently if action is not taken to keep her here:-

Wherefore be it resolved that we, the undersigned, do strongly urge that The Honourable the Minister of Health take immediate action, to make this treatment available to cancer sufferers, and keep it a Canadian Discovery.

And your petitioners will ever pray etc    

[This was then signed by eight (8) physicians from Toronto Timmins Cobden and Ottawa. Copies of this documents signatures which I have, are too hard to read,  not all of them are legible. Copies of the next petition - December 1936 are far easier to read. These are not bureaucrats behind desks or researchers with test tubes and mice. They are real doctors seeing live results with Essiac.]
