...This procedure may take three hours. But it is worth while, for it tends to prevent infection, which causes the greatest trouble in healing burns. For three days after the bath, attendants spray the raw patient with tannic acid solution and dry him with warm air from an ordinary barbershop blower- all this to toughen his exterior and thus keep out germs. Dr. Wells said that his method was especially successful after burns from gasoline explosions and ignited clothing, and extensive scalds...
...floor of the Harvard Club, in Forty-fourth Street--upon whose sedate walls we look, with mixed-feelings, from - our offices--there are stalls for undressing members.

Yet there is O'Neill who will save the theatre from complete disintegration because he has "size." As for Barry, Kelley, Green, and Howard, Mr. Nathan disposes of them as a "dramatic barbershop quartette." In Vincent Lawrence, on the other hand, he finds the most gifted of present day comic-dramatists.
