...snip off patches of cartilage from the patient's ribs. Such mutilation is unnecessary, said Dr. Claire LeRoy Straith of Detroit, for cartilage leftovers from, surgical operations and even ribs removed at autopsy can be used in plastic surgery. Since cartilage is nourished by lymph instead of blood it does not undergo extensive or rapid degeneration. And it does not need to be ''matched'' to individuals. Spare ribs should be stored on ice, said Dr. Straith...
...highly complex compound of proteins and enzymes which vary in quality and proportion with the species of snake. Two constituents of venom have already been isolated; one is a specific nerve poison which makes an excellent painkiller when diluted; the other is an enzyme which causes coagulation of the blood. There is a third principle not yet isolated, said Professor Alvaro, which affects only the eyes. Patients treated for severe snake bite complained of darkening of sight or even temporary blindness.

Above a concentration of 1.5 mgms. every one is drunk. Between these rates lie in dividual variations of sullenness, hilarity, recklessness and melancholy. Hence, Dr. Haggard proposed that police set a stand ard of 0.5 mgm. as the "arbitrary dividing line between sobriety and an appreciable influence of liquor...
