This (a Swiss method) produces a porous aluminum coating little protective against acids...

Analyzing insulin, whose active principle has not yet been isolated,* chemists find minute traces of cobalt and nickel, so some diabetics are now being experimentally fed with cobalt and nickel salts. Scientists coupled this observation with the known fact that soil qualities modify the characteristics of peoples through the plant life eaten directly or indirectly (through herbivorous animals). Example: In Switzerland where iodine is rare, goitre is common. Feeblemindedness and dwarfism are therefore frequent. The recommendation of Dean Jacob G. Lipman of the Rutgers College of Agriculture was that agriculturists go still further in seeking what proper...
