...sure that cinchophen was primarily responsible for many deaths directly due to yellow atrophy of the liver. This matter was thrashed out last May during the convention of the American Medical Association. There Drs. Walter Lincoln Palmer and Paul Silas Woodall presented conclusive evidence that, although cinchophen does not poison all users, there is no way of telling whose liver it may attack or when it begins its deadly work.

Had "The Deal" gone through, Ethiopians would have been spared the horrors of wide spread poison gas warfare; Haile Selassie would have been reigning in Addis Ababa last week instead of being snubbed in London (see p. 20) ; and Britain, France and Italy might have resumed their "Stresa Front" against the ambitions of Adolf Hitler. Advantages of "The Deal" were so obvious, and it had been...
