Also Cough Syrup. In 1952 the U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals denounced Hoxsey's claims for his cancer tonic as "false and misleading," ordered the district judge in Dallas to forbid interstate sales and shipment of Hoxsey's bottled wares.

...lament the disappearance of the chalk-line test. At a recent civic meeting, a New Orleans official gave a demonstration in the hope of inspiring interest and confidence in the Drunk-O-Meter, a type that measures the alcoholic content of the breath. Placing some 70 proof cough syrup at a handy distance, he prepared to give a before-and-after exhibition.
