...have faith, and apply the Golden Rule, you can get together." For two hours his pupils did unto each other as they had been done by for weeks, swapping acrimonies and getting nowhere. The Governor pared his nails, enjoined his guests to have faith, occasionally bent an ear to the whisperings of his omnipresent adviser, "Judge" Emerson R. Boyles. Once Mr. Dickinson burst out at Mr. Keller: "Do you mean you refuse cooperation?" Chrysler's smooth, ingratiating Attorney Nicholas Kelley referred gently to "our friends across the table," said: "I can't believe we won't settle...
...three drops of blood are taken from a finger or an ear lobe and centrifuged to remove all red blood cells. Then the clear serum is mixed with several drops of the antigen, a witches' brew of benzoin (a resin from Java or Sumatra), cholesterol (alcohol which occurs in bile), scarlet red (a dye), plain salt water, and alcoholic beefheart extract. If syphilis antibodies are present in the blood, coarse particles develop in the colorless fluid, and clumps of red granules appear around the edges of the mixture. Since the reaction is clearly visible to the naked...
That poor food has some connection with poor hearing in growing children has long been suspected. Last week, in the Lancet, Dr. Phyllis Toohey Kerridge of London University bolstered up this theory by publishing results of her hearing tests on 1,000 English school children. Middle ear deafness, found Dr. Kerridge, "is about four times as common, on the average, under poor social conditions as it is under good social conditions; in the poorest places ... it may be nearly ten times as common as in a good environment, nearly a quarter of the child population being affected. Climate, housing...
...Inner Ear. People whose hearing is impaired by middle-ear injury and people past 30 who are gradually growing hard of hearing, are not really deaf. Medicine can do little to strengthen their damaged or aging middle-ear structures, but if their cochleae are sound and healthy, they can hear with the aid of bone-conducting devices which transmit sound waves directly through the skull to the inner ear...
True deafness can be caused only by injury to the inner ear, or to the auditory nerve. Inherited structural defects account for a large proportion of these cases; syphilis, scarlet fever, meningitis, measles, for many others. Skull fractures and the force of violent explosions may injure the cochlea or the auditory nerve...
