...famed Argentine comedian, were playing a comedy. Included in the cast was a parrot who took the part of a sailor's pet. One by one the company sickened. An actor and an actress died. Alarmed physicians were at a loss for a diagnosis. The symtoms were simple: nausea, constipation, a fever preceded by a chill. Then the parrot too lost appetite, moulted, became diarrhetic, died. The doctors examined him, pronounced his death due to psittachosis-parrot-disease. They warned parrot-owners that this infection would kill their pets and themselves as well. Parrots thus diseased must be segregated...
Originally swart, nervous, cynical Roberto Farinacci was famed as the Castor Oil Man of Fascismo. Politicians who rashly opposed Il Duce were ambushed and forced to swallow a pint, a quart, even a sickening gallon of what Farinacci called his "golden nectar of nausea." As Secretary General of the Fascist Party he wielded Ku-Klux powers of life and death. His last notorious, outrageous exploit was to warp the very fibre of Italian Justice and get off virtually scot free the Fascist murderers of the multimillionaire Socialist Deputy Giacomo Matteotti (TIME, April 5, 1926). Leading U. S. correspondents have since...
...udder of the cow becomes infected from human hands, releasing a stream of contagion at every milking time. Most of the epidemics have occurred during the winter and spring months.

The abrupt violence of the illness gives little scope for serum, and so far little success has been had with...

A concentration of one part in ten million will probably incapacitate a man within a minute from the pain and distress, and nausea and vomiting accompanying an exposure of from two to three minutes of this concentration. . . . These substances are generally used to cause such sensory irritation that the victim is unable to tolerate a respirator." Airplanes capable of transporting and disseminating diphenyl-chloroarsine (or worse) can be built cheaply, quickly...
Lusty young men abhor the abnormal. A few weeks of Thomas Dwyer's attendance at Fordham and the kindness of fellow students abated. When he was fed, they (to escape nausea) kept their eyes away. They complained to Dean Deane. The student who voluntarily helped the crippled boy with his personal needs became a nervous wreck. So the dean last week wrote to Student Dwyer's father, a New York doctor, saying that the boy must be withdrawn and advising private tutors...
