Fact: The U. S. Pharmacopoeia, law for the Food, Drug & Insecticide Administration, prescribes that one pound of crude ergot be used to make one pint of fluid extract of ergot which when injected into a white leghorn rooster will tint its comb bluish.

S. pharmacopoeia, 3) that the ergot "scandal," apart from Dean Rusby's idealistic intervention, is nothing but a commercial fight, nothing...
