Excerpt:
“A mysterious ‘something’…was making them sick
MEN WITH BROAD SHOULDERS… heavily muscled, yet they went down like weaklings before a mysterious ‘something’ that made them sick. Work schedules suffered. Orders went unfulfilled. Cancellations poured in. Months of this…then relief. The mysterious s’omething’ was identified by a Maryland safety engineer as a deadly gas released during the handling of ordinarily harmless material in the production line.”
