The treatment increases the corrosion resistance of 6% chrome steel (16¾? per Ib.) almost to that of high-grade chrome-nickel stainless steel (34? per lb.). Said Iron Age: "The increase in corrosion resistance, in part verified by at least several disinterested laboratories, is astonishing." Last week Mr. Bach declared that use of cheap steel, thus colored...
Newest member of the rapidly growing sulfanilamide family is a little number called N¹ dodecanoylsulfanilamide. It is a combination of the parent drug with part of a fat.
