John Thornbury testified that his wife had been diagnosed by x-ray two years before as having probable cancer of the stomach, and had been so weak, at 72 pounds, that he'd had to carry her into the Bracebridge clinic. Mrs Clare Thornbury was present to testify that she now weighed 107 pounds, and could do all her own work.
Clare lived to be 91, and died in 1975.
