Sherlock Holmes would have been at home in Brazil, land of the needle. Brazilians consider an injection, rather than a pill, the handiest way to cure anything from calcium deficiency to syphilis. Stenographers inject each other with vitamin compounds at tea time. Druggists give shots to customers in back rooms, send errand boys out to needle homebound clients. The charge: 15?. Thus, when the Government last fortnight banned drugstore injections, it threatened the clinical habits of a nation. Grounds: insanitary needles. Real reason: the dope needle was also flourishing...

Don Nelson, now president of the Society of Independent Motion Picture Producers, after a headlined career as boss of the old War Production Board, and "Rox" Ryan now president of the Whitney Department Store, Spiegel subsidiary in San Diego, Calif., were expected to inject big-time know-how into Spiegel policies...

The first reported case of human artificial insemination occurred in England in 1790, when Dr. John Hunter, consulted by a "linen draper in the Strand" suffering from a deformity of the urethra, decided to inject the draper's wife with semen by means of a syringe. The operation produced a normal pregnancy. Since then moralists have viewed the process with increasing alarm, while visionary eugenists have hailed the prospects (e.g., the indefinite perpetuation of great men through preservation of their frozen semen for generation...
