Brady's 5,000,000 outpatients- a figure reflecting the combined circulation of his 80 papers-get a solid dose of oldfangled, no-nonsense medical advice. He is against TV patent-medicine commercials, toothpaste (he uses soap and a birch toothpick), cigarettes, alcohol and hypochondria. "What is my blood pressure advice?" he once asked his readers, and capitalized his answer "NEVER MIND YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE." In a column on the benefits of exercise, he scolded sloths: "Don't just sit on your ischial tuberosities, watching hired professionals play...
...apparently healthy subjects whose blood Dr. Beut ler tested turned out to be abnormal: she was apparently a carrier of the recessive gene for galactosemia, for her blood took an hour to turn the solution red.

He goes on and on, throwing around words growing less imaginative...

The trick was to find more Desferal, and it turned out that Duke Hospital had had only that one dose. Another was located at Emory University Hospital in Atlanta, and this time an Air Force plane picked it up. When Larry was finally out of danger, Dr. Paul said: "I think the Desferal probably saved his life, and it certainly made a big difference in his response to treatment...
