...authorities admitted 200 of their soldiers were down with cholera at Paoshan, and the Chicago Daily News's unsensational Reginald Sweetland cabled: "Swarms of cholera flies stream into homes, restaurants and offices, and [Shanghai] health officials feel that only a sudden change of weather with heavy showers and lower temperatures can avert a major epidemic." Latest news was that 50 people per day were dying of cholera in Shanghai...

A gaseous compound of ammonia, rich in nitrogen, passes up through the tube; some condenses, trickles down and with each...

An extra amount of the protective solution is sprayed into the lower part of the child's nares. Then for a moment the child is held upside down, thus causing the liquid to flow against the nerves of smell which must be covered, if the virus of infantile paralysis is to be kept from invading the brain and spine...
