...emirates of Arabia." This being so, His Excellency voiced special pleasure in greeting on behalf of George V and installing on the Kalat Throne a tall, white-robed nomad who advanced majestically and was hailed by the Viceroy with his full name and rank, "Mir Azam Jang Khan, Wali of Kalat and Khan of the Brahui Confederacy...
Beyond the Khyber lies unruly Afghanistan and behind its King Nadir Khan looms Soviet Russia. In the past year raids, riots, savage bloodletting and civil disturbance have burst forth alarmingly in the North-West Frontier territory.

That "bribe" Henry Spahlinger disdained, spent his entire fortune of some $500,000 on perfecting his remedy. It was then that the Aga Khan, the Duke of Westminster and others placed their lien, now canceled, on the formula of manufacture. Henry Spahlinger thus had money to live on and to prosecute his research. Heart of the Spahlinger bacteriological technique is his theory that germs must be bred in cultures which duplicate to fine detail...
