Originally a public domain film from the Library of Congress Prelinger Archives, slightly cropped to remove uneven edges, with the aspect ratio corrected, and one-pass brightness-contrast-color correction & mild video noise reduction applied.

The United States Food and Drug Administration has made final its ban on drugs and cosmetics that contain chloroform, but because it has ordered no recall, inventories of products that contain the chemical may still be on stores helves.
According to a spokesman, no recall was ordered because the agency did not believe that the amount of chloroform in the products presented a “significant health hazard.” The ban, effective July 29, was ordered, however, because of tests that linked liver cancer in mice and kidney tumors in rats to the chemical.
