come to Kendall's aid was the grand old man of bacteriology, and first teacher of the subject in the United States, Dr William H. 'Popsy' Welch, who evidently looked upon Kendall's work with some regard." Five days later, the Los Angeles Times published a photo of Rife and Kendall with the microscope. It was the first time a picture of the super microscope had appeared in public. The headline read, "The World's Most Powerful Microscope”. Meanwhile, Rife and Kendall had prepared an article for the December 1931 issue of California and Western Medicine. "Observations on Bacillus Typhosus in its Filtrable State” described what Rife and Kendall had done and seen. The journal was the official publication of the state medical associations of California, Nevada and Utah. The prestigious Science magazine then carried an article which alerted the scientific community of the entire nation. The December 11, 1931 Science News supplement included a section titled, "Filtrable Bodies Seen With The Rife Microscope". The article described Kendall's filtrable medium culture, the turquoise- blue bodies which were the filtered form of the typhoid bacillus, and Rife's microscope. It included the following description: Meanwhile, Rife and Kendall had prepared an article for the Welch was the foremost pathologist in America at one time.

And there Dr Thomas Rivers and Hans Zinsser stopped the scien- tific process. Their opposition meant that the development of Rife's discoveries would be slowed.

In 1932, he obtained an unulcerated breast mass that was checked for malignancy from the Paradise Valley Sanitarium of National City, California, But the initial cancer cul- tures failed to produce the virus he was seeking.
