...Giants are a nearer possibility. To create them it is merely necessary to feed babies the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland, as Harvard's bulldog was fed. Perhaps some experimenter has already, secretly, toyed with a human in such fashion. But Dr. Oscar Riddle of the Carnegie Institution's Animal Experiment Station at Cold Spring Harbor, N. Y., merely told the philosophers at Philadelphia that made-to-order giants are now feasible...

Normal people gradually growing old will take another look at the circus side shows produced by pituitary glands run riot, before they try to stop Nature's course with Dr. Steinach's serum...
...junctions, on edge after the four hard games they had just played with only one day's rest between each game, the Rangers skated into the Montreal Forum feeling that it would be hard for them to get going.

Ahead of the head centre is that of the eyes. Back of these latter two and going in a sort of band from...
