Potter was an American writer whose book Strange Loves was banned in Australia in 1936. He also wrote The Psychology of Health and Happiness (1897), A New Treatment of Cancer and Chronic Diseases (1929) and Prevention and Cure of Catarrhal Deafness, Head Noises, Adenoids, Tonsil Disease and Nasal Obstruction by Manual Adjustment of the Eustachian Tube and Adjacent Structures (circa 1930).

He graduated from Boston University School of Medicine in 1884 and contributed articles to Physical Culture, the food faddist magazine run by Bernard MacFadden. He was apparently interested in 'cancer cures'; at one time he was associated with a proponent of the so-called 'grape juice cure' for cancer, and at another time he was reported to be giving cancer injections for $150 each.

Potter is included in AustLit because Strange Loves appears in the Banned in Australia subset.
