...odds were a mistake. The stocky, 38-year-old Birmingham dentist who was his opponent in the final won the championship in 1927. An awkward stylist who plays his shots like a dub trying to cure a slice, with his left foot far in front of him, William Tweddell was able enough last week to finish the morning round only three down. In the afternoon Little kept him waiting at the tee and then out of embarrassment at this faux pas began to play sloppy golf. The doctor started creeping up and at the 30th hole, the match was even...
...Hayes's latest nostrum is Marmola, a tablet containing thyroid substance, which he markets over drugstore patent medicine counters as a cure for obesity. Like all thyroid preparations, Marmola may cause a user to drop dead, or cripple control his heart, unless a physician stands by to control the dosage and reduction in weight.

This pressure arises from the official belief that instructors will be intellectually dead at forty if they cannot drink deep of the fountain of perpetual youth that flows in the laboratory and the stacks. With some instructors this is true. But as a substitute for an intelligent personal estimate...
...Ralph Pemberton of Philadelphia gave this advice both to those who suffer from atrophic arthritis (affliction of youngish people) and hypertrophic arthritis (affliction of old people): "About 80% of persons suffering from chronic arthritis should be greatly relieved and, if the bony changes have not gone too far, actual cure is often possible [by general therapy]. There is no short cut to this goal, and the patient must be able to supply the necessary pertinacity, patience and cooperation, especially in long standing cases, if he is to emerge on a new plane of health...
