Further complications were engendered when the pasty Mr. Fuller made a pass at Claudia. Not until her hitherto unmentioned husband arrives upon the scene, thereby precipitating one of the most comic lines of contemporary drama, does the demure insanity of March Hares become quieted in a final readjustment...
...with a veritable placing-in-nomination speech, but of greater significance was a statement by Campbell Bascom Slemp, astute Virginian. Mr. Slemp, onetime (1923-25) private secretary to President Coolidge and until that evening known as an outstanding "Coolidge-anyway" man, confessed to personal Hooverism and virtually promised the hitherto uninstructed Virginia delegation (15 strong).

Since bacillus leprae exists in the circulating blood as well as in the organs and tissues, a destructive agent that could be released directly into the blood stream was desirable. Hitherto the treatment of leprosy has consisted of injections of chaulmoogra oil into the muscles, which is a less direct attack on the microbe. As now perfected, hydnocarpus oil has a 100% efficiency in the early stages of the disease, and 30% in the advanced stages...
