But heavy daily injections of Promin (or doses of Diasone or Promizole pills) gradually clear out the bacilli, reduce swellings, heal lesions...

But it is idle to suppose that the U.S.S.R. can be stampeded into such a deal, when they know: 1) that nothing can possibly happen to them for refusing; we are not going to use the bomb for the next five or ten years in any event; 2 ) by that time they will also have the bomb...
