...destroy as quickly as you can.' " Dr. Crile on Glands. Medicine is cautiously probing at life, health and disease with the newest tools of chemist and physicist. In England Dr. James Eustace Radclyffe McDonagh, whose studies are gradually becoming known in the U. S., is using colloid chemistry, including the physicochemical action of the electrical charges on colloid particles. In the U. S. Dr. Crile applies electronic interpretations. Dr. Crile last week boldly predicted that during the coming century "the state of activity ... of the body [will be measured by] the relative percentages of the different parts...
Hercules Powder Co. wanted to know why, why, WHY Dr. Henricus Johannes Stander refused to remain as chemist. At 28 he was one of the best colloid chemists in the U. S. Was it money? No! Why, then? Because, blurted Dr. Stander, a Yale medical graduate, son of a South African country doctor: "Because I'm going to be the damnedest best obstetrician in this country." A Manhattan event last week marked him as superlatively good, if not the best. The vast new medical centre of the New York Hospital-Cornell Medical College Association opened for patients...
...having laughed at people who predict the weather by feelings in their feet. They awarded the William H. Nichols Medal of the American Chemical Society to Dr. John Arthur Wilson, 40, consulting chemist of Milwaukee. Wis. Dr. Wilson was judged worthy of the medal (given for outstanding achievement in colloid chemistry) for his seven years' study of leather. He had found that the dimensions of leather are affected by changes in relative humidity, that shoes swell, pinching tender feet, when wet weather approaches. By using special tanning materials, he proved to shoe manufacturers that this foot-squeeze...
Like a crescent moon through a fog, the tenuous edge of a great physiological discovery appeared at Cornell University last week. Professor Wilder Dwight Bancroft, authoritative student of colloid chemistry, and Dr. G. Holmes Richter, research fellow, have been using an ultramicroscope on living sensory nerves...
Following this prelude, Nominee Hoover stood up. The Garden became a noisy colloid of flags and enthusiasm. The Nominee was unable to do anything about it. He flapped his fingers a few times, and tried to smile...
