Then the clear serum is mixed with several drops of the antigen, a witches' brew of benzoin (a resin from Java or Sumatra), cholesterol (alcohol which occurs in bile), scarlet red (a dye), plain salt water, and alcoholic beefheart extract. If syphilis antibodies are present in the blood, coarse particles develop in the colorless fluid, and clumps of red granules appear around the edges of the mixture. Since the reaction is clearly visible to the naked...

You try and imitate what occurs when you twist the dial very rapidly on a new radio--sounds silly as hell, but "Man With a New Radio" is still very funny-- as is "And the Angels Sing"--done in the best grand opera tradition . . .

Dr. Schooley has worked out a pituitary removal technique for pigeons, going in through the pharynx at the back of the throat, which leaves the back lobe of the gland intact so that almost all the birds survive the operation...
