...they may suffer from contagious diseases to which their own offspring may be immune. Dr. Brouzet (Sur I'education medecinale des enfants) thought so poorly of human mothers that he wished the state to interfere and keep them from suckling their young lest they communicate immorality and disease. The chemist Van Helmont called milk "brute food" and wanted to substitute for it bread boiled in beer and honey. Substitutes for mother's milk have been made from cow's milk mixed with soft water, lactose ("sugar of milk") and phosphate of lime. This a vigorous newborn child can assimilate...
...reduced his original 400 pounds of rare earth ores in his search. Scientists hailed him, particularly his countrymen. Though laboratories throughout the world are constantly searching for the remaining unknown elements, no other elemental discovery has been made since Hafnium, No. 72, in 1923, at Copenhagen, by Chemists Coster and Hevesy. And never before has a new element been first discovered in a U. S. laboratory. It may well mean for Dr. Hopkins, they said, the $40,000 Nobel chemistry prize in 1926, an honor won by no other U. S. chemist save Professor Theodore Richards in 1914 for work...
...Despatches reported that its tears have been analyzed by a chemist and found to be identical with the city water of Bordeaux...
Many a poet has been tempted and won by the obvious comparison of an "expensive" or "four-bottle" nose with the glorious ruddy hues of autumn foliage.

It doesn't strike me as a fair deal to your patients that your writing should not be so legible that any chemist could read it. Suppose it were urgent and none but Blank could read the writing and Blank's store was closed. You would sign a death certificate just so. A nod is as good as a wink, and this note may lead to some intelligibility...
