...dangerously misleading because 1) it presumes a skill in diagnosis and therapy on the part of a layman that is ridiculous to believe he may possess. . . . It would have been wiser for you to have replied that any form of self-treatment in acute diarrhoea is unsafe and that the best thing to do is to find a competent physician as quickly as possible...
...blindness of several Englewood children to gonorrhea in their nursemaids. So Englewood burghers had the Common Council pass an ordinance which went into effect this week.

They possess just as much so-called 'guts' as we did. The rule allowing substitutions is a great help to a team, for, in the old days, a player once off the field could not return to the game. This caused many players to hide their injuries, thus allowing themselves to be seriously hurt...
