...bacteriologist*, some months ago implanted leprosy bacilli in some mice. Since 1871 when Dr. G. Armauer Hansen of Norway discovered the Bacillus leprae men have been trying to grow it artificially. If the germs could be cultivated, perhaps an antileprosy serum would evolve. Some ten years ago a Russian biologist, Kadroski, announced such an artificial culture. Just before his death Dr. Moses Clegg of the Philippine Bureau of Science at Manila, announced a culture. Last year Dr. Ernest L. Walker of the Hooper Foundation for Medical Research, San Francisco, announced another culture. Their methods of growing the leprosy bacilli, however...
...then younger generation. Post-War youth looks at him askance, thinks him unreliable, refuses to take him seriously. His enthusiasm, inquisitiveness, missionary spirit have made him one of the most versatile writers (in subject-matter) of his century.

...physiologists in recent times. . . . One often meets the statement . . . that scientific physiology is progressively revealing the mechanism of life. In the light of actual progress this is quite untrue, and can only be described as claptrap. . . . Science brings us to a point at which we require more than Science." Biologist Haldane takes philosophy seriously. To him, philosophy is only another word for religion. But orthodox religion will not find much in common with such statements as this: "Belief of any kind in what is supernatural seems to me to imply a faltering in religious faith. . . . Men of science . . . will never...
