We in the Army medical corp back in the day called it the Silver bullet too. As in, "You about to get the Silver bullet for your VD."
As a side note, the first time I was in Germany,(Baumholder), there was a Armed forces Network public jingle that would come on the radio singing in a ladies voice: " Vee Dee is for EVERY ONE!"

Well, no wonder you don't understand a thing about what Galileo said and keep getting the physics wrong. After you quoted Galileo explicitly acknowledging the air resistance issue, there is really no honest thing for CRR to do other than admit that he was wrong about Galileo. I know exactly what to make of his refusal to do exactly that, and I would hope that everyone else does too. Something to think about when you are watching CRR make other ridiculous arguments. Is it really worthwhile to try pinning down Jello after exposing the slimy fluid that Jello is by nature? Under a government which imprisons any unjustly, the true place for a just man is also in prison. Thoreau: Civil Disobedience (1846) I was thinking as long as I have my hands up they’re not going to shoot me. This is what I’m thinking they’re not going to shoot me. Wow, was I wrong. -- Charles Kinsey We got a thousand points of light for the homeless man. We've got a kinder, gentler, machine gun hand. Neil Young, Rockin' in the Free World.

Somehow in the back of my mind I seem to recall that one of the treatments was the injection of a silver compound. And that those injection sites would show up on x-rays for the rest of the patient's life.
Or was it some form of mercury? Do you remember, Doc?

Arsenic. It was called Salversan, and I think it was superseded by World War II -but I can see the name hanging on a long while.

Hi dwise1, from what I can remember the syringe syrettes where silver and bullet shaped which I think was where the nickname "getting the silver bullet" came from. And believe me it was so I been told quite painful as the penicillin was as thick as peanut butter.

I want to know how flat-earthers think that people have flown around the world. My round the world trip.
Me, I personaly started off in Jo'burg to Sydney, then off to Honoloulou, then off to Santiago, then off to LA, then off to London and then back to Jo'burg. The last flight was more-or-less directly SSE. My flight between Jo'burg and Sydney was wonderful. I learned about the existence of the Kerguelen Islands by flying over them!

Probably Lead or Mercury. They used to inject people with combinations of Pb and/or Hg and then applied sucking leaches as a "cure" for STD's. And Typhoid.

Both lead and mercury and bleeding can be very effective cures for everything; very, very effective.

Yes, death indeed does cure anyone and everyone from all diseases.
A healthy corpse.

The only thing flat earthers have to fear is sphere itself. They'll connect with reality eventually. Might take them a while to get 'round to it...Religious belief does not constitute scientific evidence, nor does it convey scientific knowledge. Belief gets in the way of learning--Robert A.

Liberals claim to want to give a hearing to other views, but then are shocked and offended to discover that there are other points of view--William F. Buckley Jr.
