Introducing Nuclear physicist and Patent medicine men

Nuclear physicist

In addition to dealing out death and destruction, atomic power promises peaceful pursuits. Until recently the process of atomic powered electricity was complicated. It furnished heat; that heat produced steam; steam turned the turbines; and they propelled the generators.

Perfection of the atomic battery cut out the middle men by producing electrical power directly from radio-active material. This brings the likelihood of atomic autos and household appliances with built-in power within the foreseeable future.

More potent power at a much lower cost will do more to preserve the peace than all the atomic energy devoted to destruction, for what wins wars ALSO avoids them. Wars are won by keeping the wheels of industry turning and production lines humming. Mass production made America the strongest nation today, and when nuclear energy is applied to stepped-up production-our atomic jitters will be jolted to a standstill!

Patent medicine men-now and then

Patent medicines have travelled a long way since tribal days: poor men turned rich when Grandma was a girl by peddling pills and trading in tonics. “Pink pills for pale people” was a popular slogan. Most of the tonics were no more than tinted alcohol and a good many reformers drank more thus disguised as medicine, than the drunkards they tried to turn away from whiskey.

Medical research within the last generation is responsible for the boom that’s boomed in medicine. Old ailments have adopted new names what used to be an itch is now an allergy, and the air is crowded with commercials about remedies that won’t upset your stomach. Just as one scientist comes up with a drug that makes an ailment extinct, one of his colleages isolates a new virus. The continuing cycle of sickness has blessed us with a rash of wonder drugs that now help every ill but age.
