(Jack Kaplan, "The Health Machine Menace: Therapy by...)

Moreover , the diabetic patient who relies_on cure by the quack device and therefore cuts_off his insulin intake can be committing suicide .

In Chicago , some time ago , Mr._H. , age 27 , a diabetic since he was six , stopped using insulin because he had bought a `` magic spike '' - a glass tube about the size of a pencil filled with barium chloride worth a small fraction of a cent - sold by the Vrilium_Company of Chicago for $ 306 as a cure-all .
