FDA deaths:
Low estimate: Robert Goldberg of Brandeis University: "By a conservative estimate, FDA delays in allowing U.S. marketing of drugs used safely and effectively elsewhere around the world have cost the lives of at least 200,000 Americans over the past 30 years." http://www.cato.org/pub_display.php?pub_id=6210
High estimate: Dr. Mary J. Ruwart, former pharmaceutical research scientist for Upjohn: "The amendments probably saved as many as 40,000 lives by improving drug safety, but the longer development times caused about 4.7 million premature deaths due to delayed introduction of lifesaving drugs." http://www.ruwart.com/AAPS.pdf

Literacy: "The school system remained largely private and unorganized until the 1840s. In fact, the first national census conducted in 1840 indicated that near-universal (about 97%) literacy among the white population had been achieved." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_education_in_the_United_States
