...These old-fashioned ideas have been strikingly challenged by the King of England's steady resistance to pneumonia over a period exceeding three weeks. Science has now so advanced the medical profession that it has been possible to increase and fortify the white germ-destroying corpuscles in the blood royal. The skilled specialist is prepared today to wage a long-drawn war of attrition with the enemy germs in which the chances of medical victory are enormously enhanced. The old-fashioned CRISIS was the climax of a short, decisive skirmish between the infective germs and whatever white germ-eating...

The authoritative British Medical Journal told in simple, vivid language of the new means used to strengthen and increase the number of white corpuscles in the blood royal: "The infection belongs to a type with which clinicians have become much better acquainted in the last ten years. . . .

Deputy Manuel Mijares shrieked: "Morones is a octopus sucking the blood of the laboring classes, vulturing and gorging on the dupes who have elected him President of the Crom!" Deputy Aurelio Manrique began by calling President Calles a Judas and worked down through comparisons which finally became obscene. Senator Lauro C. Caloca hurled thoroughgoing curses and charged that Señor Calles when President had connived with Luis Morones in stupendous graft. Meanwhile in the Chamber of Deputies Melchor Ortega and Aurelio...
