Shannon released some promising facts about this newest member of the eight-aminoquinoline group (to which belongs Plasmochin, antimalarial drug developed by German scientists in 1926, later discarded as ineffective and too toxic...

Three weeks later they handed the mother a healthy, rosy baby, purring like a well-lubricated Cadillac...
