There is no specific cure for thallium poisoning. But J. C. Munch of Glen Olden, Pa., who last year made a report on the "Pharmacology of Thallium and Its Use in Rodent Control" for the U. S.

Philocarpine, an active poison from the tropical American jaborandi shrub, stimulates many of the physiological activities which thallium destroys. It causes saliva and urine to flow, hair to grow.

The basis of the biscuit is intarvin, a specially constructed fat discovered by Dr. Max Kahn, of the College of Physicians & Surgeons in 1923. Dr. William John Gies of the Department of Biological Chemistry at Teachers College, directed experiments...

They were modelled after the "Bilse" Concerts of Berlin, the formal rows of seats and tables were removed and tables were so installed so that one might sip wine or beer, munch a sandwich or smoke, while listening to a waltz of Strauss or a march of Sousa...
