...That the otologist has practically ignored the possible significance of prenatal medication in infant deafness may be due to the difficulty of early diagnosis. A child must be 2½ to 3 years old before a diagnosis of nerve deafness can be made and by that time the prenatal history has generally been dismissed. The usual history consists principally of whether or not there has been a family history of deafness, consanguinity, hereditary syphilis or meningitis. It seems, however, that inquiry regarding the drugs given the mother during pregnancy may yield information quite as important as whether the patient...
...Alba Madonna, a round canvas of Mary, infant Jesus and St. John, was painted by Raphael about 1510 at Rome, acquired almost immediately by one of the early Dukes of Alba. His Duchess gave it to her doctor in payment of a bill. The doctor was later tried and acquitted of poisoning the lady.

The first source is the Freshmen advisers, public-spirited but much harassed guardians of infant university members. They have come in for their share of criticism already--not always deservedly--and in this instance they cannot be held responsible for a minute knowledge of some one-hundred odd course syllabi. The other source of knowledge from which the whole college drinks equally long and deeply...
