...Medical Record last fortnight, Psychiatrist Frederick Lemere of Seattle, Wash, presented the following testimonial to the power of a book...
...silver Hudson, in uptown Manhattan, stands a giant's village of towering, cream-brick buildings: Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center.* Most extraordinary of the hospitals in this doctors' Mecca is the 14-story Neurological Institute, erected ten years ago through the heroic efforts of late, great Neurologist Frederick Tilney. Last year, after wielding an influence among devoted young neurologists second only to that of famed Harvey Gushing (see p. 60), Dr. Tilney died. As acting director, the trustees appointed modest Dr. Robert Frederick Loeb. Last week, warmhearted, diplomatic Tracy Putnam came down from Harvard to take Dr. Tilney...
Brain Waves. Chief of the Institute's brain-wave station is young, German-born Dr. Paul Frederick Adam Hoefer, who came from Boston with Dr. Putnam. Close kin to a sensitive short-wave radio is the electroencephalograph. Tiny lead electrodes are pasted to the patient's scalp.

Normal frequency is ten shallow, rippling, regular waves a second. Abnormal brain waves, often running to 25 a second, show up as irregular...

In a few hours, large clumps...
Spriest of all financial oldsters is a testy, box-jawed Bostonian named Frederick Henry Prince, who is, among other things, the money behind Chicago's smelly Stock Yard and the Board Chairman of Armour & Co. Last week two big newspapers, the New York Times and the Chicago Tribune, carried a story about Financier Prince: that in view of his approaching (Nov. 24) 80th birthday, he would not stand for reelection to the chairmanship of Armour. The explanation given, that a younger man would be able to devote more time to the company's management, was plausible enough, since...
