Stearns conducted early research with very highly potentized remedies first with fruit flies and later with the Emanometer, a tuning device made by Doctor William East. Boyd of Glasgow, Scotland. Stearns was a graduate of the Homeopathic Medical College in New York City and a 1900 graduate of New York Medical College Given the evasiveness of the New York Times article about the case in terms of specifics, as well as considering that the nurse used the false name Mistress Graham when she checked into Stearns"s office and that she travelled from Boston to New York solely to be operated on by Stearns, with whom the paper reported she had worked in a resort hotel when they were teenagers, indicates that the doctor may have been arrested for performing an illegal abortion.
