Other patients who suffered no side effects from the drug included a five-year-old girl knocked senseless by a swing and a woman who received massive methylphenidate infusions in an eight-hour period to help bring her out of a coma induced by an overdose of an antidepressant. The worst that happened was that two patients vomited and two others were temporarily disoriented...
...altruistic motives are admirable, but I distrust their ulterior ones.

In eleven years in the House, he espoused woman suffrage, currency reform and the eight-hour day. He stood firmly opposed to what he called "Miss Nancyism"-in this case a sympathetic approach to Reconstruction of the South. With his sharp lawyer's mind, he was a natural choice for prosecutor when the Congress tried to impeach President Andrew Johnson.
