After this second death, Mr. Carroll left grammar school and was paid 6? an hour for "picking codfish sounds." The sound is the fish's air bladder which, ripped from the backbone, dried and cured, makes isinglass. Later he went to work for Slade Gorton, a pop-eyed man as round as a hogshead who had been one of the founders of Slade Gorton & Co. in 1849. When he was 16 Tom Carroll was considered experienced enough to split fish. Then he became a skinner, ripping the parchment-like skin from dried fish. The skin is used largely...
Died. King Camp Gillette, 77, safety razor man; of bladder trouble; in Los Angeles. Retired from active business in 1913, he returned in 1929 when intense competition set in, invented a new razor which his company immediately began producing.

Cancer of the skin often follows irradiation of the cervix. X-raying of bladder tumors is often followed by cancer of the bone-marrow, lung, liver or skin. Cancer of the neck or throat frequently follows cure of a lip cancer. Doctors almost never discuss such questionable points with their patients, seldom mention them in print. But as Dr. Wood remarked in an editorial...
