stand, one of Davis’ patients testi« fied she outlived five doctors who could not help her. Mrs. Lillie Barnes, 43. Aliceville, Ala., said | the five physicians who failed to cure her ailments have all since died. They practiced in and around Aliceville. Mrs. Barnes said she started taking the Indianapolis herb huskster's potions in March, 1949, and “felt much better.” After being visited by federal drug agents, she has heen unable to obtain more medicine since March, 1950 She still feels fine, Mrs, Barnes testified. She admitted she helped Davis organize a health group in Alice~ ville. She collected “donations” from the. 80 or 90 members who met at her house regularly and swigged the Davis medicines. Earlier, another woman, Mrs, Henrietta Hariston, 32, of Columbus, Miss, testified “Doctor”? Davis said she was suffering from a “stomach disorder” and pres scribed herb medicine. Later she discovered she was pregnant at

the time she went to see ‘the “doctor.”

Charge 3000 Duped

Mrs. Hariston testified she took the medicine “because I believe in the herbs of God prepared for the people.” Federal drug investigators charged the Davises duped 3000 to 5000 sick people in the past few years with the herb medicine described as worthless, in some instances harmful. They preyed chiefly on superstitious, low income people in Indiana and Southern states, federal officials said. He has done this by masquerading as a doctor and ascribing medicinal values which his medicines- do not possess, they charged Mrs. Davis is the widow of C. W. Hancock, who preceded Davis as head of Coordinative Medicines until his death.in 1944, Davis took over shortly thereafter, and now has offices at 345
