Nothing so pleases a man who likes to beat his wife as a loud brawl among the neighbors, and last week Japan's yellow men were elated as whites & blacks made front page war (see p. 19). Haggard old China has been due for another beating all summer, and spry Japan, while prepared to lay on the whangee anyhow, is well content that it should make only back-page news. Almost unnoticed last week, seven Japanese river gunboats steamed up the swirling, muddy Yangtze to put huge Hankow, the "Chicago of China," at the mercy of Japanese shot...
...young, The Woman with the Serpent's Tongue, The haggard, cheek, the hungering eye, The poisoned, words that wildly fly, The famished face, the fevered hand,? Who slights the worthiest in the land, Sneers at the just, condemns the brave, And blackens goodness in its grave...
...Toronto the earnings of two swimming pools on his property enable Dr. William James McCormick to devote himself to hobnobbing with learned doctors, doing an occasional piece of medical research. Last year he read about the research Drs. Howard Wilcox Haggard and Leon A. Greenberg had done on tobacco smoking (TIME. July 2, 1934). Those two Yale scientists found, as have other physiologists, that nicotine makes the adrenal glands excrete adrenalin which makes the liver and muscles pour their stored-up sugar into the blood stream where it becomes available for work, pleasure or refreshment. R. J. Reynolds Tobacco...
...Haggard & Greenberg had not reasoned so far. And Dr. McCormick decided that Camel advertising, which no longer uses the "Lift" slogan, was presumptuous. A non-smoker himself, Dr. McCormick bought nine Flemish Giant hares, had two senior medical students from the University of Toronto poison them with nicotine. The nicotine dissolved out of a single cigaret soaked in water is enough to make a grown man deathly sick. The solution of three cigarets will throw an adult into such convulsions that he will probably die within 15 minutes. Eight of Dr. McCormick's hares died of nicotine poisoning...
...whole. Dr. McCormick agrees with the facts deduced by Drs. Haggard & Greenberg. He also agrees with the inferences which Camels considered expedient to exploit. But alongside those chips of fact he placed other chips: morphine, cocaine, strychnine, chloral hydrate, carbon monoxide, bichloride of mercury, ether, chloroform, diphtheria, tuberculosis, syphilis, influenza, typhoid fever, burns, asphyxia, hemorrhage, cancer, all stimulate the adrenals, cause a similar chemical increase of sugar in the blood. In the case of the intoxicants, biochemists find a temporary "lift" similar to that of nicotine. In the case of the infections, there might also be a perceptible feeling...
