The local druggist had a fever of 101, was pale and sweating, had sharp, constricting pains in his chest muscles. When an examination showed nothing wrong, Dr. Risser gave him a sedative and sent him home. Within four hours, the druggist called again. The pains had stopped, he said, and he felt fine, just a little tired...
