In Mercedes, Tex., confronted with the fact that Mrs. Lucinda Loya de Candu had died a few minutes after taking his supposedly harmless prescription, Dr. Humberto Ruggi Garrido took an identical dose in the presence of challenging relatives.

The soda water bloated the two people to death.
In Senatobia, Miss., when Mildred Moore sued a bottling company because of ill effects resulting from drinking a bottle of the company's beverage containing a fly, a witness for the defense was Emery College Professor of Entomology (insects) J.
