SUMMARY

Reference source establishing William Howard Hay's life dates and the dated bibliography the case relies on. The 1866-1940 dates are taken from two independent records: the Wellcome Collection name-authority string 'Hay, William Howard, 1866-1940' carried on the catalogue record for Health via Food (work kshmkvsf), and Wikidata Q325785, whose date-of-birth (P569) is 1866 and date-of-death (P570) is 1940 (the enwiki article 'William Howard Hay' corroborates). The four book titles and their years/publishers are copied from the Wellcome catalogue production fields: Health via Food (New York, 1929), A New Health Era (London: George G. Harrap, 1935), Weight Control (Harrap, 1936), and Some Human Ailments (Harrap, 1937). This source grounds the practitioner's birth/death years, the case's reference to Hay's death age, and the publication dates named in the access and conflict-of-interest arcs. All fields were copied from the fetched Wellcome catalogue API and Wikidata records, not from model prose.

NOTES

This reference source carries the biographical and bibliographic facts the Hay case depends on, kept separate from Hay’s own books (which are cited for the doctrine) and from the disconfirmation literature. Hay’s dates, 1866 to 1940, come from the Wellcome Collection name-authority record (“Hay, William Howard, 1866-1940”, attached to the catalogue entry for Health via Food, work kshmkvsf) and from Wikidata Q325785 (date of birth 1866, date of death 1940; corroborated by the English Wikipedia article). The dated bibliography, Health via Food (New York, 1929), A New Health Era (London: George G. Harrap, 1935), Weight Control (Harrap, 1936), and Some Human Ailments (Harrap, 1937), is copied from the Wellcome catalogue production fields for works kshmkvsf, hhun4w83, jj4jpr6x, and grch2x8f. It grounds the practitioner record’s life dates, the case’s statement of Hay’s death age, and the publication years named in the case’s exclusive-access and financial-conflict arcs.
