Southwestern Medicine, Jun 1926; 10 (6): 282, 284: Last fall the Pima County Medical Society determined upon the prosecution of two flagrant tuberculosis cures operating in this vicinity, one under the guidance of an uncouth named Polansky, the other being directed by "Dr." W.A. Swank, a veterinarian. The results today are that "Dr." Swank has forfeited his bond and left the community. The Polansky case came up in the Superior Court recently and upon the agreement of the defendant to leave the state immediately and not to attempt to practice medicine legally in Arizona again, the charges were dropped.
