WEBVTT 1 00:00:04.960 --> 00:00:09.560 The Shenley Laboratories, producer of penicill and Shenley and Shenley Pharmaceuticals, 2 00:00:09.919 --> 00:00:16.239 presents the OnCore Theory, The on Core thea of play Tonight, 3 00:00:16.719 --> 00:00:18.399 Doctor Elix's Magic Bullet. 4 00:00:21.359 --> 00:00:23.320 Our star is Charles Becker. 5 00:00:35.799 --> 00:00:38.719 The Night Shenley Laboratories presents another and a new series 6 00:00:38.759 --> 00:00:42.280 of great dramatic programs. Some of our stories are fact, 7 00:00:42.520 --> 00:00:46.039 the struggles and accomplishments of great men of medicine. Others 8 00:00:46.039 --> 00:00:50.079 of fiction, stories of devotion to an ideal individual, heroism 9 00:00:50.200 --> 00:00:54.560 or great courage. By these programs, Shenley Laboratories would remind 10 00:00:54.600 --> 00:00:57.840 you that medical science and progress is not cold in 11 00:00:57.920 --> 00:01:01.799 personal research or pages of statistics, but a warm human 12 00:01:01.920 --> 00:01:05.359 story told in living terms, whether it's the life of 13 00:01:05.359 --> 00:01:08.799 one of medicine's immortals or the everyday record of service 14 00:01:08.959 --> 00:01:25.640 rendered by the lone physician. Now Doctor Elick's Magic Bullet 15 00:01:25.879 --> 00:01:28.200 starring Charles Bickford as Doctor Eric. 16 00:01:44.519 --> 00:01:47.760 The facts are history. Now the words have been recorded 17 00:01:47.799 --> 00:01:50.280 for all to read. The man has been set in 18 00:01:50.280 --> 00:01:53.359 his rightful spot of honor among those designated by science 19 00:01:53.359 --> 00:01:58.439 and medicine for immortality. Listen to his story, the story 20 00:01:58.480 --> 00:02:02.920 of a man against a microbe. Let us go back 21 00:02:02.959 --> 00:02:04.799 to his younger years, when he was working in the 22 00:02:04.840 --> 00:02:08.080 Kaiser Wilhelm Hospital in Berlin. A man with a poor, 23 00:02:08.159 --> 00:02:13.080 undernourished body, sustained and driven by inner fires. In those days, 24 00:02:13.080 --> 00:02:16.240 he was not thought much of and his laboratory experiments 25 00:02:16.240 --> 00:02:19.639 were ridiculed. But he became friendly with another young doctor 26 00:02:19.680 --> 00:02:25.240 and through him he received the most important invitation, Doctor Perring. 27 00:02:25.280 --> 00:02:27.719 I can't tell you how I'm delighted to see you. 28 00:02:28.120 --> 00:02:30.400 Professor Coke has called this meeting to announce the most 29 00:02:30.400 --> 00:02:31.360 exciting discovery. 30 00:02:31.520 --> 00:02:32.599 Very kind of you to ask me. 31 00:02:32.759 --> 00:02:34.960 That was a very important minute here today there is 32 00:02:35.000 --> 00:02:37.360 alt off over there, the Minister of Science. No, no, 33 00:02:37.439 --> 00:02:40.120 over there, the one with the muttonshoff whiskeys. Come on, 34 00:02:40.159 --> 00:02:43.000 we'd better sit down. It comes Professor Coke under the platform. 35 00:02:43.039 --> 00:02:49.319 Now, gentlemen, it has long been my belief that tuberculosis 36 00:02:49.360 --> 00:02:52.240 is caused by a living microbe. Today I am able 37 00:02:52.280 --> 00:02:55.479 to announce that the search for this microbe has. 38 00:02:55.319 --> 00:02:56.919 Come to a successful conclusion. 39 00:02:57.280 --> 00:02:59.840 I have discovered the cause of tuberculosis and the corp 40 00:02:59.840 --> 00:03:01.879 of person suffering from this disease. 41 00:03:02.560 --> 00:03:06.639 It is a living germ with a long rod like shape. 42 00:03:06.879 --> 00:03:08.879 I invite you all to come forward and you a 43 00:03:08.879 --> 00:03:15.680 specimen of it under the microscope. Unfortunately, the bacilli do 44 00:03:15.800 --> 00:03:18.960 not stand out clearly. Only those whose eyes are trained 45 00:03:18.960 --> 00:03:20.919 and the use of the microscope will be able to 46 00:03:20.960 --> 00:03:24.159 see them. That, of course, makes my discovery of little 47 00:03:24.240 --> 00:03:27.439 or no value to the average doctor in diagnosing the 48 00:03:27.560 --> 00:03:30.000 causes of the berculosis. 49 00:03:30.120 --> 00:03:32.919 It might be possible to see the basili by staining. Earlik, 50 00:03:33.560 --> 00:03:37.479 what's that? Who spoke? It was? Ihir? Professor? What did 51 00:03:37.520 --> 00:03:40.520 you say it? Come down front? These I can't hear you? Yes, sir? 52 00:03:41.800 --> 00:03:44.520 Did you say stain the BASILEI? 53 00:03:44.879 --> 00:03:47.639 Yes, sir. We must compound a die which combined with 54 00:03:47.680 --> 00:03:50.319 the substance of this microbe. Then the microbe will be 55 00:03:50.319 --> 00:03:52.919 plainly seen for it and nothing else on the slide 56 00:03:52.919 --> 00:03:53.639 will be stained. 57 00:03:54.120 --> 00:03:57.560 Did you ever stain a microbe and nothing else on 58 00:03:57.599 --> 00:03:58.159 the slide? 59 00:03:58.439 --> 00:04:00.280 Well? No, As a matter of fact, that I have 60 00:04:00.319 --> 00:04:03.680 reasona believe it's possible. It's it is possible. 61 00:04:03.759 --> 00:04:07.719 I advise you to do so your fame in science 62 00:04:07.759 --> 00:04:08.840 will be guaranteed. 63 00:04:09.000 --> 00:04:10.479 May I have a culture by. 64 00:04:10.360 --> 00:04:13.000 All means, But be careful of the contents of this cube, 65 00:04:13.000 --> 00:04:13.400 young man. 66 00:04:13.439 --> 00:04:16.399 They're very dangerous. Thank you, doctor coach, and good luck, 67 00:04:16.439 --> 00:04:19.920 young man. You'll need it. 68 00:04:27.360 --> 00:04:29.800 Oh, Paul, that cough has me worried. 69 00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:32.879 Oh I'm all right, Sadie got backing so much like 70 00:04:32.879 --> 00:04:33.439 a wife. 71 00:04:33.800 --> 00:04:36.000 You were saying, Amiel, have you been working on those 72 00:04:36.000 --> 00:04:37.920 slides for months without getting anywhere? 73 00:04:37.959 --> 00:04:41.160 Paul? Maybe you should give up. Perhaps your theory is wrong. 74 00:04:41.279 --> 00:04:46.000 Don't say that, Amel. I know my theory is right. Paul. 75 00:04:46.079 --> 00:04:49.000 That cold too cold for you in your laboratory. I 76 00:04:49.120 --> 00:04:49.720 made a fire. 77 00:04:49.920 --> 00:04:51.720 What did you say, you lit a fire? 78 00:04:52.319 --> 00:04:52.519 Yes? 79 00:04:52.600 --> 00:04:56.680 Oh no, what's a pole ruin my slide? That's what 80 00:04:57.759 --> 00:04:59.240 I've told you to stay out of here. I've told 81 00:04:59.240 --> 00:05:00.000 you a dozen times. 82 00:05:00.079 --> 00:05:01.839 I'm sorry, Paul. Please forgive me. 83 00:05:02.000 --> 00:05:04.279 Look at them, a week's work gone for not give 84 00:05:04.279 --> 00:05:06.040 me that towel. Headaches. We'll get them off the stove. 85 00:05:06.120 --> 00:05:07.800 Maybe they won't be spoiled. Yeah, put them here on 86 00:05:07.839 --> 00:05:09.959 the table. We'll look at them, and I have much hope, 87 00:05:10.879 --> 00:05:17.600 am Look the microbe, it's tame. The heat. The heat 88 00:05:17.680 --> 00:05:19.439 must have fixed the guy. You see them a meal? 89 00:05:19.519 --> 00:05:22.120 Of course I see them. The red rod like shapes 90 00:05:22.160 --> 00:05:23.199 are the tubercobacilli. 91 00:05:23.680 --> 00:05:27.160 Anyone can see them now, well, this is marvelous, Paul, marvelous. 92 00:05:27.160 --> 00:05:29.839 My dear dear missus Ilich. Will you marry me. 93 00:05:30.079 --> 00:05:32.720 My darling, doctor Erlick, Of course I will. 94 00:05:44.160 --> 00:05:47.879 Here you are, Professor Coke, my my microbe a bright red, 95 00:05:48.319 --> 00:05:50.079 My dear early how did you do it? 96 00:05:50.120 --> 00:05:53.160 By applying fusion red, eating the slide and watching it 97 00:05:53.160 --> 00:05:55.600 for alcohol. It's the heat that does the trick. Oh, 98 00:05:55.680 --> 00:05:57.120 this is a great contribution. 99 00:05:57.399 --> 00:06:00.560 The doctors, little doctors everywhere will be able to diagnosed 100 00:06:00.920 --> 00:06:07.199 tuberculosis with one accuracy. I owe you an apology, Dr Elich. 101 00:06:07.560 --> 00:06:09.199 My attitude taught you at the meeting. 102 00:06:09.319 --> 00:06:12.240 Why you make me very happy, Professor. 103 00:06:11.920 --> 00:06:15.360 Coche, Doctor Eli, I want you to join my staff. 104 00:06:15.839 --> 00:06:20.040 What I said in Irony holds good. Your place in 105 00:06:20.120 --> 00:06:21.519 science is guaranteed. 106 00:06:36.360 --> 00:06:37.800 Man against the microbe. 107 00:06:38.600 --> 00:06:40.319 It was the beginning of the fight for him, and 108 00:06:40.319 --> 00:06:43.199 he would still be fighting when he died. They sent 109 00:06:43.279 --> 00:06:44.959 him to Egypt before they let him work to get 110 00:06:45.040 --> 00:06:47.199 rid of his cough, and while he was there he 111 00:06:47.279 --> 00:06:49.720 began to study the effects of snake fights on people, 112 00:06:50.319 --> 00:06:52.800 and they began to wonder why snake bites were fatal 113 00:06:52.839 --> 00:06:54.839 in some cases and not in others. 114 00:06:55.720 --> 00:06:58.600 So when he came back, and this is your laboratory, 115 00:06:58.639 --> 00:07:01.560 Doctor Elichh. I hope you find it's satisfactory. Now you 116 00:07:01.600 --> 00:07:04.000 can go ahead developing new staining methods. 117 00:07:04.079 --> 00:07:06.920 I'm very grateful, but with your indulgence, I'd rather not 118 00:07:07.000 --> 00:07:08.240 work on dies at present. 119 00:07:08.800 --> 00:07:12.319 Indeed, well, in that case you might join your friend 120 00:07:12.360 --> 00:07:15.600 doctor Barring in his diphtheria experiments. The number of new 121 00:07:15.639 --> 00:07:18.279 cases is alarming, most alarming it. It looks as if 122 00:07:18.279 --> 00:07:19.279 we're in for an epidemic. 123 00:07:19.360 --> 00:07:21.600 I'm afraid diph theory is not what I'm looking for either. 124 00:07:22.240 --> 00:07:24.240 What in heaven do you want to do right now? 125 00:07:24.319 --> 00:07:25.519 I want to work on snakes. 126 00:07:27.199 --> 00:07:29.839 Well, I may. I laughed at you before, and I 127 00:07:29.959 --> 00:07:33.439 was wrong. If it's snakes you want, very well, you 128 00:07:33.519 --> 00:07:34.399 shall have snakes. 129 00:07:43.279 --> 00:07:45.120 Get three more snakes and prepare them for me to 130 00:07:45.160 --> 00:07:47.959 collect the venom. These are depleaded. Oh yes, doctor Eman. 131 00:07:48.759 --> 00:07:52.199 Halloa amil, but not oh every child I tried the 132 00:07:52.199 --> 00:07:53.639 diphtherious ceremon died. 133 00:07:54.319 --> 00:07:57.680 It didn't work at all. I can't figure it out, Paul, 134 00:07:58.000 --> 00:08:00.279 But the guinea pigs had worked perfectly. And I'm in 135 00:08:00.319 --> 00:08:02.399 the midst of an experiment another time. I'll be glad 136 00:08:02.439 --> 00:08:06.000 to listen another time. Perhaps all the children in Germany 137 00:08:06.000 --> 00:08:08.079 will have choked to death by then. But of course 138 00:08:08.120 --> 00:08:11.000 your own experiment must comfort Amy. Listen to me, you 139 00:08:11.040 --> 00:08:13.800 don't know what you're talking about. When I was in Egypt, 140 00:08:13.959 --> 00:08:15.800 a man and a boy were bitten by an adder 141 00:08:16.040 --> 00:08:19.439 the same snake. The boy died horribly, but the man 142 00:08:19.519 --> 00:08:22.160 wasn't even made sick. I'm only interested in dip theory. 143 00:08:22.199 --> 00:08:25.560 Please a Mael. Here's the point. Three times before he 144 00:08:25.600 --> 00:08:29.240 had been bitten three times. Each time the venom had 145 00:08:29.279 --> 00:08:32.919 less effect, the symptoms became less and less severe. This 146 00:08:33.080 --> 00:08:36.720 last time he wasn't even sick. I muna for weeks now, 147 00:08:36.759 --> 00:08:40.320 I've done the same thing, experimentally infecting animals with gradually 148 00:08:40.399 --> 00:08:43.080 larger doses of snake venom until they were getting shots 149 00:08:43.080 --> 00:08:46.120 that would ordinarily kill a hundred of their species to one, 150 00:08:46.399 --> 00:08:49.440 all of which proves that immunity is not the quality 151 00:08:49.480 --> 00:08:53.720 of the blood, but something in the blood, specific substances 152 00:08:53.720 --> 00:08:56.919 that are formed by the cells, a chemical army which 153 00:08:56.960 --> 00:09:00.559 destroys bacteria and poisons. I'm beginning to see what you're 154 00:09:00.600 --> 00:09:04.960 getting at. Look. This graph represents the development of immunity 155 00:09:04.960 --> 00:09:07.480 to snake venomon. It shows how you can increase the 156 00:09:07.559 --> 00:09:11.480 quantity of antibodies to neutralize any given amount of poison. Yes? Yes, 157 00:09:12.240 --> 00:09:14.320 do you think in diph theory A, You're not. We 158 00:09:14.399 --> 00:09:16.799 have only to store a sufficient quantity of antibodies and 159 00:09:16.840 --> 00:09:20.279 an animal by injecting it not once, but ten, twenty 160 00:09:20.440 --> 00:09:22.480 thirty times. You mean that the blood of a horse, 161 00:09:22.519 --> 00:09:26.200 perhaps which had withstood twenty increasingly large doses of diphtheria toxin, 162 00:09:26.240 --> 00:09:30.159 would cure a child. It's my theory, Paul, PAULA. I 163 00:09:30.200 --> 00:09:34.000 want to beg your pardon, Amil. There's never any need 164 00:09:34.039 --> 00:09:39.120 for apologies between friends. Friends become friends because they understand 165 00:09:39.159 --> 00:09:42.000 one another. Here, let's get to work. 166 00:09:56.679 --> 00:09:58.919 There's no use bringing any more children to this hospital. 167 00:09:59.000 --> 00:10:01.279 We can't do anything for us. They might as well 168 00:10:01.320 --> 00:10:01.879 die at home. 169 00:10:01.919 --> 00:10:04.000 I have given orders to put up beds in the corridors, 170 00:10:04.159 --> 00:10:06.799 in the offices. We can't let them die in the streets. 171 00:10:07.440 --> 00:10:12.720 Come in, doctor Eric, doctor Berrying, what are you doing here? 172 00:10:12.840 --> 00:10:14.440 We have a new serum we're going to try. 173 00:10:14.879 --> 00:10:17.120 We were set over by Professor Koch at the specific 174 00:10:17.200 --> 00:10:18.840 urging of Minister oltof bearing. 175 00:10:18.919 --> 00:10:22.080 What's the use you tried your serum several times before 176 00:10:22.120 --> 00:10:24.919 and it feels the laboratory, this new serum showed itself 177 00:10:24.919 --> 00:10:27.480 one hundred times as effective as the old bearings. Old 178 00:10:27.519 --> 00:10:30.399 serum was good in the laboratory too. Nothing can stop 179 00:10:30.440 --> 00:10:34.000 the epidemic unless it is this serum. You cannot ignore 180 00:10:34.000 --> 00:10:36.879 the possibility. You are right, doctor Eliic, We cannot ignore 181 00:10:36.960 --> 00:10:39.679 any possibility. We will give the serum a last and 182 00:10:39.799 --> 00:10:42.679 final test. I will give you a ward with forty 183 00:10:42.879 --> 00:10:45.440 theory of patients in it. You will give the serum 184 00:10:45.480 --> 00:10:48.559 to twenty patients and withhold it from the rest. If 185 00:10:48.600 --> 00:10:51.240 there is a higher percentage of recovery among the patients 186 00:10:51.279 --> 00:10:54.679 treated than among the untreated ones, we will know the 187 00:10:54.720 --> 00:10:57.799 serum has some value. As long as there's a chance 188 00:10:57.840 --> 00:11:00.279 the serum may work, I think we should give it 189 00:11:00.320 --> 00:11:03.639 to everybody. Only with a controlled experiment can we establish 190 00:11:03.639 --> 00:11:06.879 the value of your serum once and for all. So remember, 191 00:11:07.399 --> 00:11:18.279 twenty get the serum, and twenty do without alcohol. New needle, 192 00:11:19.120 --> 00:11:25.320 too much? Check again? Another syringe? All right, prepare this boy, Paul, 193 00:11:25.919 --> 00:11:28.639 he would make twenty one. Look at his eyes. If 194 00:11:28.679 --> 00:11:30.799 you do, I am a chance to live. No, but 195 00:11:30.879 --> 00:11:34.519 Hartman said, I Am going to inject them all. Whyre 196 00:11:34.559 --> 00:11:36.879 you with me. I'm with you, Paul. 197 00:11:47.960 --> 00:11:50.720 You may be familiar with penicillum as a light colored 198 00:11:50.720 --> 00:11:54.120 powder dissolve in sterile solution. You may have experienced the 199 00:11:54.120 --> 00:11:57.080 benefits of penicillin treatment by injection when you were suffering 200 00:11:57.080 --> 00:12:00.960 from a serious infection. Through a recent development, penicillin can 201 00:12:01.000 --> 00:12:04.320 now be administered in nebulized form as well, which means 202 00:12:04.320 --> 00:12:07.919 another step forward in medical progress. Among the firms who 203 00:12:07.960 --> 00:12:12.360 produce penicillin for administration in various forms is Shenley Laboratories. 204 00:12:12.960 --> 00:12:16.000 Shenley is to day devoting its resources to the production 205 00:12:16.080 --> 00:12:20.120 of superior penicillin products, some of which are penicillin trophies 206 00:12:20.159 --> 00:12:23.480 and tablets to be taken by mouth, Penicillin ointment for 207 00:12:23.559 --> 00:12:27.919 application to affective skin surfaces, and Penicillin of FALM appointment 208 00:12:28.279 --> 00:12:33.279 for treatment of certain eye infections. In addition, Shenley Laboratories 209 00:12:33.320 --> 00:12:36.919 maintains a continuing research program for the study and development 210 00:12:36.960 --> 00:12:40.519 of other drugs derived from many sources and processes, so 211 00:12:40.559 --> 00:12:43.679 that tomorrow your doctor may have even more and better 212 00:12:43.720 --> 00:12:48.919 pharmaceuticals to aid him in his fight against disease. Now, 213 00:12:49.320 --> 00:13:02.759 the second act of Doctor Elick's Magic Bullet, starring Charles Bickford. 214 00:13:07.720 --> 00:13:10.399 Alec had a bitter quarrel with Hartman after they'd finished 215 00:13:10.399 --> 00:13:13.240 the injection, and he and Barring left the hospital with 216 00:13:13.279 --> 00:13:16.000 the knowledge that if their serum failed there would be 217 00:13:16.080 --> 00:13:19.879 objects of ridicule. They went to Alec's small house and 218 00:13:19.960 --> 00:13:22.799 began to pace the hours until they should hear and 219 00:13:22.840 --> 00:13:26.159 at last an orderly came with an ominous message that 220 00:13:26.240 --> 00:13:29.720 his excellency, Minister Aldhaff was waiting to see them at 221 00:13:29.720 --> 00:13:30.320 the hospital. 222 00:13:31.000 --> 00:13:34.519 Seen swim do young research mean? Ignore the instructions of 223 00:13:34.559 --> 00:13:38.799 distinguished physicians. In all my experience, I have never heard 224 00:13:38.799 --> 00:13:39.480 of such a thing. 225 00:13:39.639 --> 00:13:42.799 I was wrong, your excellency, I know, But if you 226 00:13:42.879 --> 00:13:44.960 could have seen the faces of these children as they 227 00:13:45.000 --> 00:13:46.000 fought for breath. 228 00:13:45.679 --> 00:13:47.240 And if you had known that there was even a 229 00:13:47.320 --> 00:13:48.879 chance they might be saved. 230 00:13:48.600 --> 00:13:52.360 You may consider yourselves very fortunate indeed that things turned 231 00:13:52.360 --> 00:13:53.000 out as they did. 232 00:13:53.159 --> 00:13:55.799 Why, your Excellency, is the news from the DIPI award. 233 00:13:56.159 --> 00:13:59.679 Is it possible that you haven't heard heard what every 234 00:13:59.679 --> 00:14:03.039 one of the children you injected is recovering. The antitoxin 235 00:14:03.159 --> 00:14:06.279 saved them. I am issuing orders that bachelors of the 236 00:14:06.320 --> 00:14:10.440 serum be made up and sent to every city in Germany. Gentlemen, 237 00:14:10.480 --> 00:14:13.559 have a cigar all life. 238 00:14:13.120 --> 00:14:15.919 I think i'd better sit down. 239 00:14:16.120 --> 00:14:17.960 I'm going to see that both of you young men 240 00:14:18.000 --> 00:14:21.759 get the recognition you deserve. Doctor Erlik for you, I 241 00:14:21.799 --> 00:14:24.879 am going to create a research laboratory where you can 242 00:14:24.919 --> 00:14:25.879 be your own master. 243 00:14:26.559 --> 00:14:29.159 What do you say, well, there is an idea, a 244 00:14:29.200 --> 00:14:32.080 theory that I want to experiment on a theory. Yes, 245 00:14:33.080 --> 00:14:35.960 I believe it will be possible one day manufacture immunity 246 00:14:36.000 --> 00:14:39.919 to disease and a test tube, mold little magic bullets 247 00:14:39.960 --> 00:14:43.720 to shoot into the bloodstream and destroy invading micro And what. 248 00:14:43.639 --> 00:14:47.200 Disease are you specifically going after with this magic bullet? 249 00:14:47.919 --> 00:14:58.519 Sephalis ten years. 250 00:14:58.279 --> 00:15:05.000 Of study, experiment, experiment study ten years. 251 00:15:05.559 --> 00:15:09.200 Gentlemen, we have two factors to reckon with the poisonous 252 00:15:09.240 --> 00:15:11.240 effect on the sons of the micro which of course 253 00:15:11.240 --> 00:15:14.039 would affect a cure, and the poisonous effect on the 254 00:15:14.039 --> 00:15:16.519 cells of the body, which would be fatal to the patient. 255 00:15:17.279 --> 00:15:19.879 Each shall be represented by a lion on this chart. 256 00:15:20.320 --> 00:15:22.879 The further apart we can push these two lines, the 257 00:15:22.960 --> 00:15:26.080 closer we shall be to success. When they are the 258 00:15:26.080 --> 00:15:28.759 width of this chart apart, we shall have found the 259 00:15:28.759 --> 00:15:31.120 magic bullet. It may take heaven. 260 00:15:31.519 --> 00:15:37.320 Ten years of concentration and labor, disappointment and progress, ten 261 00:15:37.440 --> 00:15:40.960 years at the end of which Bearing now a distinguished 262 00:15:40.960 --> 00:15:44.600 professor came to see him, and an old friendship seemed lost. 263 00:15:44.639 --> 00:15:46.960 For Bearing an Alick found themselves stranger. 264 00:15:47.120 --> 00:15:51.919 Oh, I have come here administer Olof's request. He's been 265 00:15:51.960 --> 00:15:54.799 having difficulty with the budget committee. They don't want to 266 00:15:54.799 --> 00:15:58.759 grant your appropriation. Altop has asked me to express an 267 00:15:58.759 --> 00:16:01.639 opinion as to the value of your work. He believes 268 00:16:01.679 --> 00:16:06.200 it would have sufficient weight to overbalance the opposition. Well, well, 269 00:16:06.240 --> 00:16:09.879 it places me in a very unpleasant position. The idea 270 00:16:09.919 --> 00:16:12.559 of shooting chemicals into the veins of human beings fills 271 00:16:12.600 --> 00:16:14.759 me with horror. If you will not, my friend, I 272 00:16:14.799 --> 00:16:15.759 would attack it publicly. 273 00:16:15.840 --> 00:16:17.600 I'm not asking you to be silent. Put it in 274 00:16:17.639 --> 00:16:19.320 writing so that one day I can wave it before 275 00:16:19.360 --> 00:16:23.080 your nose. No, no use doing that, because you can't 276 00:16:23.080 --> 00:16:25.759 see beyond your nose. I'm sure you know how much 277 00:16:25.759 --> 00:16:28.559 our friendship means to me. No, we were friends ten 278 00:16:28.639 --> 00:16:31.000 years ago when your mind was open to new ideas, 279 00:16:31.279 --> 00:16:33.799 but we could never be friends with your present attitude. 280 00:16:34.360 --> 00:16:36.720 Good day, Paul, goodbye, Amiel. 281 00:16:47.279 --> 00:16:51.240 Perring went back with his unfavorable report, and Airlex funds 282 00:16:51.240 --> 00:16:54.120 were cut in half, but funds were secured for him 283 00:16:54.120 --> 00:16:56.480 from private sources and the work went on. 284 00:16:56.720 --> 00:16:59.840 Gentlemen, we have discovered beyond any shadow of doubt that 285 00:17:00.080 --> 00:17:02.600 arsenic is the key that fits the molecules to which 286 00:17:02.639 --> 00:17:06.279 the microbe is composed. But it also fits the molecules 287 00:17:06.279 --> 00:17:09.519 of which the brain and nerves are composed. We must 288 00:17:09.519 --> 00:17:12.440 now shape our key so that it fits only the microbe. 289 00:17:12.799 --> 00:17:17.440 The days became weeks, the weeks months, and the numbers 290 00:17:17.440 --> 00:17:20.720 on his great chart representing experiments mounted into the hundreds, 291 00:17:21.440 --> 00:17:25.440 and gradually the lines grew farther and farther, until the 292 00:17:25.519 --> 00:17:28.960 numbers on the chart reached six or six and the 293 00:17:29.039 --> 00:17:31.160 lines were the width of the chart apart. 294 00:17:41.279 --> 00:17:44.519 Doctor Elick, board of Directors of the German Medical Association 295 00:17:44.960 --> 00:17:47.799 has delegated us to ask you when you will submit 296 00:17:47.839 --> 00:17:51.599 your drug for recommendation. You must realize, doctor Erick, that 297 00:17:51.720 --> 00:17:54.839 every position throughout the world is eager to use your 298 00:17:54.920 --> 00:17:58.880 new specific. No, gentlemen, I'm sorry, but I cannot release 299 00:17:58.920 --> 00:18:02.079 the specific at this time. First I must find out 300 00:18:02.119 --> 00:18:06.359 how the preparation affects people with complications with diseases, with 301 00:18:06.480 --> 00:18:09.839 high blood pressure, but nervous conditions. You must give me 302 00:18:09.880 --> 00:18:10.599 more time. 303 00:18:10.440 --> 00:18:13.559 Gentlemen, I have a patient, to a young girl. It 304 00:18:13.599 --> 00:18:15.559 would be a tragedy if she should die of this 305 00:18:15.680 --> 00:18:16.400 horrible thing. 306 00:18:17.160 --> 00:18:20.240 With six or six her life can be saved. I 307 00:18:20.240 --> 00:18:22.000 am an old man, doctor Eleck. 308 00:18:21.759 --> 00:18:25.200 And you will forgive me if I speak freely. I 309 00:18:25.240 --> 00:18:28.000 recall that some years ago there was a deterior epidemic, 310 00:18:28.039 --> 00:18:32.400 and a young doctor unknown and transcended the scientific attitude 311 00:18:32.440 --> 00:18:36.400 to relieve some suffering children. If there is a remedy 312 00:18:36.400 --> 00:18:39.319 in the name of humanity, surely that doctor will release 313 00:18:39.359 --> 00:18:40.000 it to the public. 314 00:18:41.599 --> 00:18:43.720 There is nothing I can say an answer to so 315 00:18:43.920 --> 00:18:47.039 eloquence a flea doctor. I will see that you, gentlemen, 316 00:18:47.079 --> 00:18:55.839 get the specific as you require it. 317 00:18:55.839 --> 00:18:59.200 It was the gesture of the humanitarian, not the wise 318 00:18:59.559 --> 00:19:01.839 of motiontionless decision of the man of science. 319 00:19:02.799 --> 00:19:07.440 And he was in trouble very fast. In how many 320 00:19:07.519 --> 00:19:10.319 gifts will fit? Do you have absolute proof that Erlich's 321 00:19:10.359 --> 00:19:12.240 come pun with the cause? Thirty eight? 322 00:19:12.480 --> 00:19:15.559 As publisher of the most influential newspapers in the country, 323 00:19:15.960 --> 00:19:18.279 it is your duty to reveal the truth about this 324 00:19:18.440 --> 00:19:19.319 damnable drug. 325 00:19:19.759 --> 00:19:21.559 I have here an article of my own writing which 326 00:19:21.559 --> 00:19:24.000 will serve to launch the attack. I'll read you part 327 00:19:24.039 --> 00:19:26.960 of it. The victims of six oh six were as 328 00:19:26.960 --> 00:19:29.319 surely murdered as if they had been stabbed from behind. 329 00:19:29.960 --> 00:19:33.000 How can such a dangerous drug be distributed in enormous 330 00:19:33.079 --> 00:19:37.279 quantities in our country? The reason is that its discoverer, 331 00:19:37.400 --> 00:19:41.440 Paul Erlick, and the rhyin chemical industries incorporated, through their 332 00:19:41.440 --> 00:19:43.680 influence with persons in high station, have been able to 333 00:19:43.680 --> 00:19:47.480 put pressure on physicians health offices. We publish that Erlick 334 00:19:47.559 --> 00:19:50.839 will sue you for libel. I wouldn't ask anything better. 335 00:19:51.359 --> 00:19:53.920 A trial would bring everything into the open. It would 336 00:19:53.920 --> 00:19:55.960 be the finish of Erlic and his so called specific 337 00:19:56.759 --> 00:19:59.000 One of the biggest names of science would testify in 338 00:19:59.039 --> 00:20:02.200 our behalf Amiel von Behring himself. 339 00:20:12.720 --> 00:20:16.240 Before resuming, the court must once more remind all parties 340 00:20:16.279 --> 00:20:19.359 concerned that this is a trial of libel and that 341 00:20:19.400 --> 00:20:22.759 the sole question which concerns us at this time is 342 00:20:22.839 --> 00:20:26.480 did doctor Erlik distribute a poisonous product which caused the 343 00:20:26.519 --> 00:20:29.920 deaths of numerous individuals? And did he continue to market 344 00:20:29.960 --> 00:20:33.000 the product for personal profit after he had knowledge of 345 00:20:33.039 --> 00:20:36.000 these deaths, as stated by the defendant of Wilfrid in 346 00:20:36.039 --> 00:20:38.920 his article A defense attorney will continue. 347 00:20:38.920 --> 00:20:42.599 Please, doctor Lynch, you have heard the previous witnesses in 348 00:20:42.599 --> 00:20:45.559 this case testify to the deaths of thirty eight persons. 349 00:20:46.000 --> 00:20:49.960 Were the symptoms in all these instances precisely similar to 350 00:20:50.000 --> 00:20:54.200 those of your patient Freedom MESCA. Yes, And in your opinion, 351 00:20:54.720 --> 00:20:57.039 what was the cause of Freedom Metzker's. 352 00:20:56.559 --> 00:21:14.279 Death, awsenic poisoning your honor. Of course, arsenic is a poison. 353 00:21:14.839 --> 00:21:17.240 There can be no question but that arsenic killed them. 354 00:21:18.160 --> 00:21:21.640 I object doctor Aerlick is injuring himself to testifying without 355 00:21:21.680 --> 00:21:22.319 legal advice. 356 00:21:22.359 --> 00:21:25.039 I want no legal advice. It's a question of truth 357 00:21:25.880 --> 00:21:28.480 to a great extent. I am responsible for these deaths. 358 00:21:29.119 --> 00:21:31.039 It would not have occurred had I withheld six O 359 00:21:31.200 --> 00:21:33.880 six until I was able to test every reaction to 360 00:21:33.920 --> 00:21:37.720 the drug. These fatalities, however, have taught us that in 361 00:21:37.799 --> 00:21:41.559 certain rare instances, a chemistry occurs within the body which 362 00:21:41.599 --> 00:21:45.279 breaks down the compound and releases the arsenic. And now 363 00:21:45.279 --> 00:21:48.240 we know also that each of these individuals flies a 364 00:21:48.319 --> 00:21:52.279 danger flag, an intense itching of the skin, which manifests 365 00:21:52.279 --> 00:21:56.240 itself in ample time to discontinue treatment in the future. 366 00:21:56.279 --> 00:21:59.440 The preparation may be prescribed to any sufferer without risk. 367 00:22:00.079 --> 00:22:03.000 We are not concerned with the rosy future which doctor 368 00:22:03.119 --> 00:22:06.960 Erlick paints. The relevant point is his admission that six 369 00:22:07.079 --> 00:22:09.759 those six cause the deaths of thirty eight people. 370 00:22:09.880 --> 00:22:12.400 I am only trying to help the court understand the 371 00:22:12.440 --> 00:22:13.640 real nature of these deaths. 372 00:22:13.640 --> 00:22:15.960 The court understands well enough without your assistance. 373 00:22:16.000 --> 00:22:18.200 I demand that the counsel for the defense show respect 374 00:22:18.200 --> 00:22:19.799 toward my clients. Gentlemen. 375 00:22:19.960 --> 00:22:25.039 Gentlemen, I'm afraid that your observations are irrelevant for this issue, 376 00:22:25.039 --> 00:22:25.599 Doctor Elick. 377 00:22:25.759 --> 00:22:29.480 Irrelevant. Next witness, all Metal, dud. It's the books of 378 00:22:29.519 --> 00:22:39.920 the Erlick Institute, mister Metal. 379 00:22:40.160 --> 00:22:42.519 Is there a special fund devoted to further work on 380 00:22:42.599 --> 00:22:43.359 six h six? 381 00:22:43.759 --> 00:22:46.519 Yes, it operates on the sums I received from the 382 00:22:46.559 --> 00:22:48.359 Rhine Chemical Industries Incorporated. 383 00:22:48.480 --> 00:22:51.039 Does doctor Erlick take money from this fund for his 384 00:22:51.119 --> 00:22:52.559 personal use at any time? 385 00:22:53.000 --> 00:22:56.039 No, that would be impossible. It is a trust fund 386 00:22:56.079 --> 00:22:59.440 which can be used only for test animals, laboratory equipment, 387 00:22:59.680 --> 00:23:01.400 and salaried assistance. 388 00:23:01.559 --> 00:23:04.839 Your honor, Yes, Doctor Wolford. In view of this testimony, 389 00:23:04.839 --> 00:23:06.839 I feel called upon to make a public apology to 390 00:23:06.920 --> 00:23:09.720 doctor Elick for accusing him of capitalizing on his specific 391 00:23:10.960 --> 00:23:13.519 It must be remembered, however, that the main issue is 392 00:23:13.559 --> 00:23:17.039 in no way affected by the present revelation. My original 393 00:23:17.119 --> 00:23:19.279 statement that six O six is a poison and not 394 00:23:19.359 --> 00:23:24.200 a cure remains unchained. I'm sure that Professor von Bring 395 00:23:24.279 --> 00:23:30.880 will corroborate this statement. 396 00:23:33.000 --> 00:23:42.480 Will Professor Emu von Bering take the stand, please, Professor Bearing, 397 00:23:43.000 --> 00:23:45.799 Is there any scientific means of proof by which it 398 00:23:45.839 --> 00:23:48.839 is possible to determine whether or not six oh six 399 00:23:48.920 --> 00:23:50.720 performs lasting cures? 400 00:23:50.880 --> 00:23:53.400 Only time which tries all truth? 401 00:23:53.680 --> 00:23:56.519
