Prohibition agents, with a search warrant from a U. S. commissioner, went to Moore's house one evening last week. Two approached the front door, two the rear. The search warrant was exhibited.

There is thus far little or no evidence in scientific medical literature, or even in spoken addresses, to indicate that I. S. Falk, Ph.D., and his associates have progressed any further toward the solution of this problem than have workers in other parts...
