...Duke of Westminster, stupendously rich English nobleman, the Aga Khan, very rich Mohammedan lord, and certain of their rich, sporting cronies have canceled their mortgage on Henry Spahlinger's secret vaccine against tuberculosis. A few people in the U. S. last week knew the formula for manufacturing the vaccine, which doctors have demanded since Henry Spahlinger first crossed medical tempers. But those in the know were reticent in admitting their knowledge. For detailed information it was better to write directly to Mr. Spahlinger at his Institut Bacterio-therapique in Geneva, Switzerland, or to the proud English folk who attended...
...cured. His talkative, rich friends bruited his "cures," gave him unprofessional fame. A manufacturer of patent medicines offered him, it was said, $1,000.000 for his "formula."

India's 70,000,000 moslems are "the largest minority in the world." When the Aga Khan, No. i Indian Moslem, left London for Paris (he has a home in Paris) last week, it was rumored and denied that he was not gone "for the holidays" but to India for momentous consultations. Stock reasons why Britain must hold India: 1) "she cannot relinquish her trust...
Before the Conference divided to work in committees, Hindu Brahman Moonje with the Mohammedan Aga Khan and princes of both persuasions signed an epochal private pact of alliance with Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar representing India's 45,000,000 lowly Untouchables (lowest class...
