Psychologist Brothers (who has never had a practice of her own) works hard accumulating the knowledge she rattles off so smoothly. Before she answers any letters, she consults available periodicals and her own 1,500-book library. "I read everything I can get my hands on on the subject," says she.

It refused to grow, or grew for a few days and vanished. A major obstacle: the disease is hard to diagnose except in man. Still, some human subjects got the disease in experiments that dishearteningly failed to convict the virus as the cause...
Cause of the disaster, as in similar instances rarely but regularly reported in the U.S., was botulin-a deadly nerve poison secreted by a microbe (Clostridium botulinum), probably from soil. The germs produce botulin only under airless conditions, are hard to kill even by boiling. And since the beets were served cold, Mrs. Gruwell had not boiled them-which might have destroyed the poison...
