Recently filled out the on-line registration at http://www.washingtonpost.com , which allows for searching their archives back to 1877. Entering "colloidal silver" (quotation marks necessary), yields 2 free abstracts: *Feb 28, 1939 "I get a good many letters asking about sinus disease, a bout its cause and whether or not it can, be cured. The answer to the latter question depends on what kind of sinus trouble is present and what sinus is involved. Nobody can answer the question dogmatically because it requires an examination by an experienced nose and throat man to determine the type and location..." * Jan 23, 1944 "I am a cold-susceptible person, and have not had a cold for more than three years. I used a sulfa spray or nose drops..." There is a $2.95 fee per full article. The above two articles are in the 1877-1986 Historical section; there are 7 articles in the 1987-Present Current section that have mostly to do with FTC actions, 'unreasonable' product claims, etc. Didn't pay the fees, so don't know what's in the full texts. Interesting-looking abstract found by not using the quotation marks in the Search field: Oct 6, 1934 New York, Oct. 5 (AP). -- "Recovery of the first actual gold and silver ever taken from sea water, tapping the storehouse of metal everywhere dissolved in ocean water, was announced here tonight by Dr. Willard H. Dow, of the Ethyl-Dow Chemical Co..". Now THAT might be worth the $2.95!
