...last week talked pridefully concerning knowledge and its fruits, pointed particularly at sage Professor Adolf Windaus and two of his scholastic offshoots. Professor Windaus, 1928 Nobel Laureate in Chemistry, was first man to crystallize a vitamin-Vitamin D, in 1931. The same year one of his former pupils, Dr. Ottar Rygh, announced that he had crystallized Vitamin C, the anti-scurvy ingredient of food. Last week another Windaus student, young Dr. Fritz Micheel, who has become a Gottingen professor, reported that he had analyzed the chemical nature of Vitamin C. The three items, reinforced with Professor Windaus's crystallization...
...Ottar Rygh must have had a good time playing with his porpoises while he fed them with irradiated narkotin [to demonstrate the storage possibilities of Vitamin C]. They make charming pets. However, as Ellis Parker Butler once informed his readers "Pigs is Pigs.'' Your abstractor is guilty of too literal translation from the German (or Norwegian) and has derived porpoises from Meerschweinchen, probably by way of sea pigs. This error is not unheard of, but should make the little guinea pig smile...
...King of Norway listened intently, likewise the Crown Prince and members of the Norwegian Academy of Science, to a report made fortnight ago by bright young Dr. Ottar Rygh. Dr. Rygh had learned how to store the mother stuff of Vitamin C, anti-scurvy. Because the process is important, U. S. nutritionists were impatient for his complete paper to reach this country. Significant quotations available last week: "It seems simple enough now. My task was to find a method by which Vitamin C could be produced in the laboratory in such form that it could be kept in storage without...
