The thing that was pointed out in this book that we got, showed that the Gentian violet was very damaging to the curing of the, in fact it made some of them worse and Dr. Tilley when he was hearing about different people that were in some hospital somewhere they were Canadians, he went to see them and said “You come with me to East Grinstead”, you know, and that was where he started with the saline baths and then he started rebuilding bodies. But there were some men that really suffered from those Gentian violet and tonic acid. They were getting the wrong treatment, but I guess people didn’t know any better. But here we have this wonderful Australian doctor and Dr. Tilley, Ross Tilley and he did call it experimental. In fact they made up a song in the Guinea Pigs about, “they are (inaudible) army, we are his guinea pigs” or something. There’s a song that they used to sing. They were proud of being guinea pigs for him. Because of what he did for them, you know, mentally, spiritually, and bodily.
