...have been refined and analyzed. Last week Professor Leopold Ruzicka of Zurich significantly reported in Nature that he had synthesized the male sex hormone. To get it, this altogether reputable scientist attacked hydroxy-ketone, a substance related to acetone, with dihydrocholesterol which is a derivative of cholesterol found in bile, brains and eggs. Nicely controlled chemical procedure produced a modified hydroxy-ketone which he claims is chemically identical with the male sex hormone. Whether it can be used alone or whether, like natural sex hormones, it works best in combination with pituitary, thyroid or adrenal cortex medication, is something pharmacologists...
Behold the stomach: crammed from every dish, The tomb of boiled and roast and flesh and fish, Where bile and wind, and phlegm and acid jar, And all the man is one intestine...
...attacked his story with the malicious gusto of a man who was hopping mad. In Roads to Glory, The Colonel's Daughter, Soft Answers, the War-torn writer's spleen, his disgust with the England he loves too well, abated not a whit.

A Hutton aunt tried to raise the issue of Mdivani Mohammedanism but Alexis' friends explained variously...
...Biology in Berlin, over the question whether cellular respiration requires iron. Dr. Warburg has maintained that it does; Dr. Wieland claimed it does not. Three years ago Dr. Wieland was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry-not for cellular research, but for study of cholic acid contained in the bile. Last week Dr. Warburg won the Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine. The award was made for his studies of cell respiration which proved that he was right, Dr. Wieland wrong...
