...Richards in 1885. It was successfully tested at the first meeting (September 30, 1935) which was attended by approximately one hundred and fifty men interested in chemistry. The movie "Story of Steel" opened the meeting, and was followed by a talk by Professor Grbunnell Jones about the lactic acid industry entitled "Murder by Proxy," Refreshments were afterwards served. This procedure will be followed in the future, when further talks in the club's Golden Anniversary Lecture Series will be given prominent men in chemical fields...
With periods of work on the treadmill varying from a few seconds of sprinting to intermittent half-hour periods of walking, the runners present all the stages of physical exhaustion. Blood tests are systematically taken, and the blood analyzed to find out the amount of lactic acid, presence of which is the chief cause of fatigue. Test-tubes, beakers, flasks, burners, and numerous scientific devices make this experimental room vaguely reminiscent of a Sax Rohmer novel or the mid-year nightmares of Chem A students...
Last fortnight a eugenist reported that women loaded with lactic acid would bear daughters while alkaline women bore sons (TIME, Sept...
Last week three Yale investigators- Drs. Harold Edwin Himwich & Louis Herman Nahum, assisted by N. Rakieten -reported to the International Congress of the Federation of Societies for Experimental Biology at Rome, that alcohol loads the body with lactic acid. If drinking women bear daughters and abstainers bear sons, thence arises a problem in progeny for eugenists and sociologists to resolve...
Acidic Girls, Bicarbonate Boys. Through Dr. Sanders (see above) Dr. F. Unterberger of Koenigsberg sent word that if women drink great quantities of bicarbonate of soda, they will bear only sons. A lactic acid diet produces only girls. Dr. Unterberger verified his theory with 78 daughter-surfeited German women. All but one bore sons. The exception had broken her alkaline régime. Six cows fed lactic acid each produced a female calf...
