Last week's product is even more convenient. Heretofore it has been dangerous to inject liver extracts directly into the blood stream. The extracts behaved like protein poisons. By fiddling with the liver juices after a method which has been patented, Professors Sturgis & Isaacs developed an innocuous fluid. Once introduced into a vein it whips the blood into a fury of red cell reproduction. The fury lasts for four to six weeks, when another intravenous injection becomes necessary.

The simple burlesque business that Mr. Clark knows best consists chiefly in manhandling a cigar, shooting people with a trick cane equipped with a rubber-tube to blow smoke through, ogling all pretty girls through spectacles painted on his face, ranging rapidly about the stage at a half-crouch. All this...
