...shabby Washington walk-up languishes a lackpenny remnant of the Anti-Saloon League, making itself known only by an occasional press handout concerning increases in drunkenness. Housed nearby are the W. C. T. U. and Methodist Board of Temperance, Prohibition & Public Morals, reviving gradually from the numbing shock of Repeal. But in Manhattan last week a new temperance organization swung into action with a disavowal of oldtime rumfighters' aims and tactics...

But their purposes and methods become incidental chicanery compared to the organized crime perpetrated by the retail drug concerns and their gag rule over the American press. When young girls are going blind from the effects of eyelash brightener, when the American Medical Association traces dozens of deaths to a supposedly harmless remedy for rheumatism, when drug cures for gallstones are sold at every pharmacy, and it is known that the infirmity can only be cured by operation, it appears time to divert these Borgias...
