...ornate saloons. One of its prime functions plainly is to house well-heeled amateur gamblers in soporific luxury and feed them efficiently to the hemisphere's swankiest casino, a domed, elliptical hall with gold-leafed walls, 85 slot machines and 17 tables for craps, blackjack and roulette. One effect was to attract to the opening a fortnight ago the largest collection of permanently established floating crapshooters seen east of Las Vegas, plus dozens of big-time Miami Beach horseplayers...
Although urologists generally advise well-nourished, adult patients to go easy on milk, a direct cause-and-effect relationship between milk consumption and formation of calcified deposits (as kidney stones or elsewhere in the body) is hard to establish. Yet many medical experts agree with Dr. Ewell. Says Manhattan's Nutritionist Dr. Norman Jolliffe: "With an adequate diet, milk is not necessary for an adult...
...Manhattan's Dr. Harry Bakwin, past president of the American Academy of Pediatrics, started the ruckus over whisky when he told a Washington medical meeting that 15 drops make an acceptable sedative for a sleepless child.* Other pediatricians doubted that so minute a dose would have any detectable effect, though some said they might give it to a baby with colic if the family had no other sedative in the house.

...Madagascar, Paris Pharmacist Georges Feuillet, who was already turning out 15 patent drugs, developed furunculosis (boils), and began experimenting with a new remedy. He used a combination of vitamin F* and an organic tin compound containing iodine (called di-iodo-diethyl of tin), which he imagined had a healing effect on skin. Feuillet took some of his capsules, then sent them to a friend, the head of a military hospital, who tried them out on his patients and found them "successful." Soon the Ministry of Health cleared them for sale without prescription...
...much tin compound as the experimental ones. They were made with such primitive methods (pressed in a century-old gadget that looked like a wafer machine) that no two capsules had the same dosage of tin salt and "vitamin F." When the tin began oxidizing, further increasing its poisonous effect, the manufacturers merely noted that the ingredients became darker, and added artificial coloring to the gelatin coating. The ironic climax of the toxicologist's testimony: a slide demonstrating how staphylococci, which can be destroyed by antibiotics, actually proliferated and prospered when treated with Stalinon...
