...concerned, the grip of that quinine monopoly has just been broken," declared Dr. Julius Klein of the U. S. Bureau of Foreign & Domestic Commerce last week. There was exultation in his voice: "Up until recently the European quinine manufacturers, working under an ironclad agreement with the producers in the Indies, had things going very much their own way.

Such cures have occasionally resulted when deafness or vocal paralysis was functional. But not when either was organic, as in this case. Julius Shaefer was mute from a lesion in his brain. Yet, his mother, against the objection of her Dr. Samuel C. Reiss, had put her child through the ordeal, stubbornly faithful that science could cure...
