...element in the theatre which serves to kill illusion is the presence of human beings." Come of Age (by Clemence Dane; music by Richard Addinsell; Delos Chappell, producer). Thomas Chatterton (1752-1770) was the most remarkable child prodigy in the history of literature. Hungry and humiliated, he took arsenic in his bleak London garret, died before he was 18. Many a later poet lamented that Chatterton lived no longer for letters. Come of Age would have it a sadder thing still that he lived no longer for himself. Clemence Dane has clothed this fragile, moving phantasy in verse sometimes remindful...
...pantries and cellars. Lynn's fire department, called out to purge the dump whence the cricket hosts seemed to emanate, was repeatedly baffled. Professional exterminators say that the only way to get rid of crickets is to feed them bits of fish or vegetables coated with chemicals, chiefly arsenic. Crickets are guzzlers of beer and sweetened vinegar, may be trapped and drowned in deep glass vessels half-filled with either...
...some cases to as much as1,000,000 per cu. mm. Overproduction comes from the blood-making (hematopoietic) elements of the spleen, marrow and lymph glands. Death invariably results-for acute cases within three months. Chronic cases may hang on for five years or longer. Radium and x-rays, arsenic or benzol cautiously administered for a time slow up the excess white cell production. Transfusion of normal blood has little effect, at least in leukemic children...
...shame. While the flower of the young manhood of Cuba is willingly giving up its life in an apparently vain attempt to purify Cuba's national life! . . . . Machado, with good advisers, would have been one of the greatest of Presidents but with such men as Mascaro, Vasco Bello, Arsenic Ortix, Cartaya and others of the same type, as his most confidential councilors and advisers, the explanation may be easily seen: of what might otherwise seem quite incompatible'. For why should a 33rd degree Mason align himself with a 44th degree assassin of such insatiable cruelty as Ortiz bristles...
...Arthur Clinton Hendrick, Toronto surgeon who was handling Mrs. R- F-'s cancer, decided to cease X-rays and try intravenous injections of colloidal metallic arsenic. His good friend, Professor Eli Franklin Burton, University of Toronto physicist, had originated the preparation of colloidal arsenic. Putting the stuff into Mrs. R- F-'s veins was a risky business. Arsenic, used medicinally to improve the blood's condition, is a poison. The woman with cancer in her leg approved the risk. Three months later the broken bone mended itself. Today, a year & a half after beginning the colloidal arsenic...
