...when injected directly into the veins often works more swiftly and successfully than medicine given through the stomach." So said Dr. W. Forest Dutton, Medical Director of the hospitals of the University of Pennsylvania, in reporting (from Philadelphia) the satisfactory treatment of several cases by a new method. The approach to the enemy bacillus through the bloodstream is called intravenous therapy. Formerly, only five drugs could be so administered, but today the number has been extended to 140, and the treatment is applicable to almost as many diseases. Especially in cases of pneumonia and diphtheria, the rapid passage...
...business man, whose hobby is politics. Next, the President chose C. Bascom Slemp as his Secretary. Slemp is a man whose element is politics. His assistance was as necessary to the newly-made President as the assistance of a social secretary is to a newly-rich woman. With the approach of the pre-Convention campaign, Mr. Coolidge selected (by and with the advice and consent of Mr. Stearns) William M. Butler to be his manager. Butler is a man amphibious both as to politics and business...
With the approach of the end of the fiscal year, the Treasury, on its New Year's Eve, had cause for rejoicing. It was apparent that the final casting up of accounts would show a surplus of about $400,000,000 or perhaps something better.

On the other hand the salaries are larger in these, ranging from $5000 to $7000 or $7500 for professorships, with varying degrees of approach to these figures for the intermediate grades of assistant and associate professorships. Rarely does a man secure a professorship in such larger institutions before the age of forty. In smaller institutions advance is likely to be earlier, but salaries are lower--counterbalanced, however, by lower cost of living...
...writing he may be able to do. Books and libraries are his daily food and drink. Although he must give much time to his work, the ordering of his time is more flexibly in his own hands than in that of the business man in his sweating years of approach to the final eminence that may be vouchsafed him. A teacher, unless he stubbornly insists on being discontented, "unappreciated," and morose, has a fine chance of keeping young; there is little more inspiriting than the constant touch that the teacher has with the successive college generations of young men that...
