Strychnine kills about three people each week in the U. S. Some take strychnine for suicide. Some use it for murder.* But the most frequent cause of strychnine poisoning Is the chocolate or sugar coated pill kept in the bathroom cabinet as a laxative or "tonic." Children eat the pills for candy, die in convulsions. In the current Journal of the A. M. A. the Indianapolis clinicians give specific instructions for intravenous administration of sodium amytal, sodium pentobarbital or phenobarbital sodium.

Incompetent management led to the failure of hundreds of small, undercapitalized state banks in the West which folded up at the first signs of receding prosperity. Dishonesty was largely responsible for the failure of eighty percent of Chicago...
...subject of high tariffs he releases frequent blasts to the Press. He naturally wants to see all trade barriers leveled, believes the U. S. should consume at least $900,000,000 more of imported goods than it does so that other nations could pay their debts and buy more GM products. At present he is wangling for a monopoly from Persia's Reza Shah Pahlevi...
