According to the inspector’s report Bye advertised to cure cancer through the mails. He also had as a side line “combination oil cure,” with treatment by soothing oils. An analysis of the doctor’s oils that “cure cancers and tumors to stay cured,” is said to have shown that they consist of cotton seed oil and some ordinary tonic. Many complaints have been received at the department charging Bye with fraud. Quart Mason jars peanut butter 35 cents at the Home Grocery.
