Last September, a friend of Dr. Carroll's lay in a St. Louis hospital dying from an infected, pus-dripping kidney. As a last desperate measure, Dr. Carroll wired for a supply of sulfamethylthiazol.

When the patient showed signs of improvement, Dr. Carroll continued feeding him from six to 14 grams of the drug every four hours for 16 days.

Through Depression II there were no layoffs at his $580,000 plant. And every year since 1934 Royal's net has just topped...
...orders, on the book and in prospect, would be nothing to go into a barrel roll over. (Seven U. S. builders have backlogs of over $20,000,000 each; two, over $60,000,000 each.) But the Canadian industry probably will have plenty to do in digesting the amount of business available...
