There is also the matter of this fax that came to my dead friend's pharmacy as well . It was quite painful to see his name on the fax, but it really hurt when I read the content of the flyer. Seen on CBC Newsworld, UTV News, etc. Nonetheless, here is an excerpt for your review. It's too bad that this story ran in 1997.
Lobelia is the most powerful diffusive stimulant known in medicine.
After taking a dose it instantly permeates the whole system, removing obstructions wherevere found and restoring a healthy action wherever needed. . . . When taken inwardly, it acts like intelligence. No matter where the obstruction is found in the system, it concentrates its power and influence on that spot and will diffuse itself through the whole system till it find that spot and overcomes the complaint by relaxing the parts and scattering the pain and misery, causing it to escape with perspiration and neutralizing the poison in the blood. . . . The same dose that would delivery a dead foetus speedily, will prevent an abortion if the child were alive. . . . You need not inquire of the patient where or what is the nature of the complaint.
