In a plant of 8000 workers we had only one death. The patients were not drugged to death. Gelsemium was practically the only remedy used. We used no Aspirin and no vaccines. —Frank Wieland, M. D, Chicago.

Absence of the customary drugging was also an element of the remarkable success in this plant. —Burton Haseltine, M. D. Chicago.

There is one drug which directly or indirectly was the cause of the-loss of more lives than was influenza itself. You all know that drug. It claims to be Salicylic acid. Aspirin's history has been printed. Today you don't know what the sedative action of Salicylic acid is. It did harm in two ways. Its indirect action came through the fact that Aspirin was taken until prostration resulted and the patient developed pneumonia. — Frank L. Newton, M. D, Somerville, Mass.

I did not lose a single case of influenza; my death rate in the pneumonias was 2.1%.

D, Providence R. l.

My low death rate at Camp Lee was due entirely to the fact that avoided the use of Aspirin absolutely. I was complimented by the chief medical Officer as having the lowest death rate in the hospital.

Harkness, M. D, Chicago.

I attended over one hundred cases without any fatalities. I never deviated from the homeopathic remedy. I never gave Aspirin.

Wright, D, Forest Glen, Md.

The German Aspirin has killed more people than the German bullets killed. — C. J. Loizeaux, M. D., Des Moines, Iowa.

I remember Acetanilid in the epidemic of 1889 and its fatalities. In this epidemic I knew that Aspirin and the coal tar products would kill more people than the disease itself and it has so proved. One old school physician told me that he had gotten wise to the fact that Aspirin was killing his patients and that he had stopped using it and was relying on homeopathic and eclectic remedies. — M. B. Finney, M. D., Lincoln, Neb.

Thirty physicians in Connecticut resrponded to my request for data. They reported 6602 cases with 55 deaths, which is less than 1%. In the transport service I had 81 cases on the way over.

"I know it, but the homeopathic doctors for whom I have nursed have not lost a single case." - F. M. Pittsburgh.

It is a rare thing for pneumonia to develop if a good homeopathic physician is called during the first 24 hours of an attack of influenza. An appalling death rate comes from the baneful results of large doses of Aspirin, Salicylates and opium preparations. — A. H. Grimmer, M. D, Chicago.

I had a package handed to me containing 1000 Aspirin tablets, which was 994 too many. I think I gave about a half dozen. could find no place for it. My remedies were few. I almost invariably gave Gelsemium and Bryonia. I hardly ever lost a case if I got there first, unless the patient had been sent to a drug store and bought Aspirin, in which event I was likely to have a case of pneumonia on my hands. — J. R. Huff, M. D., Olive Branch. Ky.

Aspirin and the other coal tar products are condemned as causing great numbers of unnecessary deaths. The omnipresent Aspirin is the most pernicious drug Of all. It beguiles by its quick action of relief pain. A relief which is but meretricious. In several cases Aspirin weakened the heart, depressed the vital forces, increased the mortality in mild cases and made convalescence slower. In all cases it masks the symptoms and renders immeasurably more diffcult the selection of the curative remedy. Apparently Aspirin bears no curative relation to any disease and it ought to prohibited. — Guy Beckly Stearns, M. New York

P. Cobb, Chicago.

Many patients had been advised to take Aspirin as a prophylactic against influenza and influenza pneumonia. One lady had taken 240 grains in 48 hours. She was sent to the hospital diagnosed as scarlet fever because Of the red spots on her body. Many cases who came to the hospital (Haynes Memorial) were filled up with Aspirin, Codein, Morphine and Digitalis. Men in government work praised our hospital for its treatment in influenza. They do not all agree, however, but they have a feeling in Boston that we have a wonderful treatment for influenza — Samuel Clement, M. D, Boston.

During the "flu" almost every victim got his Aspirin. Almost everybody believed in it because it relieved his distress and "couldn't do him any harm."
