The Golden Age, “The Only Explanation”
“By this time every regular reader of The Golden Age knows that we are absolutely right in our stand on the use of aluminum cooking utensils and that The Scientific American, The Literary Digest, and most of the M.D.'s are dead wrong, and as immune to facts or to reason as the D.D.'s are on the “hell” question.”
An unsigned editorial item reproducing two United Press despatches from the Oregon Journal of January 1930 about food poisoning at The Dalles, Oregon, and mocking the state board of health officer who concluded that an aluminium roaster was not to blame.
