SUMMARY
A public statement by George P. Larrick, U.S. Commissioner of Food and Drugs, published in the Journal of the National Medical Association, warning physicians about the Hoxsey cancer treatment. Bibliographic metadata (title, author, journal, year, volume, issue, page, PMID) fetched and confirmed directly from the PMC record. The scanned-PDF full text was not machine-extractable, so no verbatim quotation from the article body is used; the source is cited for its existence and bibliographic facts (a contemporaneous 1957 FDA-commissioner public warning, contemporaneous with the FDA's 1957 'Public Beware!' flyer used as the case's artifact image) rather than for quoted text.
NOTES

A primary 1957 regulatory statement by the FDA Commissioner warning against the Hoxsey treatment, reprinted in a medical-association journal; used for bibliographic/contextual grounding of the FDA’s contemporaneous public warning campaign.
