Magic Five. During the last three years in Manhattan, Pharmacologist Marvin Russell Thompson and Biochemist Gustav Julius Martin of the Warner Institute for Therapeutic Research have painstakingly poisoned 30,000 rats, mice and rabbits in their research work.

The vital chemicals: 1) ascorbic acid (vitamin C); 2) choline, a nitrogen compound, a constituent of nerve tissue; 3) cystine, a sulfur-containing compound found in hair and finger nails; 4) glycine...
