...half-wit who reads voraciously, with his doting mother and the stupid, brutal father, on whom he finally bends the horsewhip, is a perennially appearing subject. But here, too, there are bright spots. Mr. Henderson's local color is well painted; his realism (although I draw the line at mention of "Aunt Hitty's old entrails" being "stirred to the depths"--especially after Mr. Gowdy's remark that Jim Gowan's rival had not "a white spot in 'im from the guts up") is undeniably effective...

...economic importance, and in their development by the white man the factor of health is far from the least. The building of the Panama Canal was conditioned on the mastery of yellow fever and malaria. As evidence of the realization of the importance of modern medicine, we may mention that Professor Strong was two years ago appointed director of laboratories to the United Fruit Company, which has eight large and well-equipped hospitals on the Caribban. These are available for such students of tropical medicine as Professor Strong may designate. He is also medical director to the American International Corporation...
