Very good film here detailing the FDA's pursuit of medical quacks. From the shysters selling cure all potions to the many blooping machines, this film discusses to the everyman that they should be wary of such items. I found it interesting that this film also laid into people claiming how food was poisonous and how the government is manipulating food. Maybe wasn't true then, but sure is something to think about now.That
