...South America need guard against. General advice was, as for travel anywhere, to take precautionary inoculations against smallpox and typhoid. Often threatening are bacillary and amebic dysentery, typhus, bubonic plague (a milder form than in the Orient), yellow fever, malignant malaria, and in the seaports venereal disease. Country people exhibit comparatively little venereal disease. On the other hand, mainly because they go barefoot and tend to wash little, they are subject to the tropical fevers and sores. Oroya fever and Andean Wart are peculiar to a small area of the Peruvian highlands. Latin Americans are specially susceptible to cataracts...
...little old man sat last week in the 20th annual International Flower Show at Manhattan's Grand Central Palace, quietly watching record crowds mill around the long tables of orchid exhibits. He watched the orchids, bright and delicate, crumple slowly after four days in the crowd's breath. Now & then he eyed particularly a spray of big plum-striped orchids, a hybrid whose glazed hairy petals crumpled not at all.

Some of the documents bearing royal signatures are proclamations, and other military commissions...
This winter Spalding & Gabrilowitsch have twice chosen to combine their talents, to play sonatas for the piano and violin which most musicians either neglect or use to exhibit their individual virtuosity. Last week Manhattan's Town Hall filled quickly and completely to hear the team play Brahms's A Major Sonata, Mozart's B Flat Sonata, and Beethoven's Kreutzer Sonata (socalled because Beethoven dedicated it to Rodolphe Kreutzer, a French violinist who never took the trouble to play it). Throughout the program the two submerged their personalities to make music that was perfectly balanced, completely...
