NEW WAR WEAPON
AMERICAN CHEMICAL DISCOVERY NEW YORK, September 10. The report of the American Chemical Society envisages bloodless warfare, by means of acetylcholine. It is claimed that the injection of the most minute quantity into the blood stream will lower the blood pressure thus causing fainting. For example, a grain would be sufficient to incapacitate one million men, and it is suggested it could be employed for that purpose. It is designed to burst into tiny splinters, a scratch from which would cause instant fainting.
