...derived from marsh gas, has been tried out as a new anesthetic at the Universities of Toronto and Wisconsin, with favorable results. Cyclopropane is not unpleasant to take, without harmful effects on the heart, less inflammable than other anesthetic gases, as relaxing to the patient as ether. ¶ Oxygen skillfully injected in small quantities under the skin will accomplish almost everything that inhaled oxygen does. A pint of subcutaneous oxygen has the beneficial effects of several hundred gallons of inhaled oxygen. Presuming skill on the part of the doctor, injected oxygen lessens the cost and speeds the efficacy of oxygen...
...worms, oysters, plant molds, bacteria and algae. Declared they: "It is probably safe to say that it is more widely distributed in Nature than any known physiologically potent substance." Data so far accumulated indicates that pantothenic acid's molecule is composed of long chains of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen, that it contains no sulphur or nitrogen. The stuff is potent. A speck of Professor Williams' latest pantothenic acid, extracted from liver, speeds the growth of yeast in 250 gal. of liquid...
...analysis showed J. Thewlis a close analogy between the structure of tooth enamel and the fertilizing mineral apatite. He hopes that further study will show how to prevent tooth decay. Enamel and apatite consist of fibres made up of hexagonal crystals in which precisely the same elements (calcium, oxygen, phosphorus) have precisely the same atomic arrangement. In tooth enamel some of the fibre-axes are inclined 20 degrees to the tooth surface, others 10 degrees. (In dogs' teeth the fibre-axis is at right angles to the enamel surface.) According to the degree of fibring, there are three kinds...
...Zack Miller a few months ago), to find them jobs when they were out of work. All Emporia's colored people swore by him for his generosity. He drove a flock of cars headed by a Fierce-Arrow. When his little girl had pneumonia, he sent for an oxygen tent. It was never used but he bought it, presented it to the Emporia hospital...
Chemistry was practically at a stand-still until the time of Priestly, the discoverer of oxygen. Since then isolation of elements and a true understanding of the structure of matter have enabled scientists to make chemistry one of the most powerful benefactors of man. The molecular theory, the periodic laws, and the more recent physical contributions will probably be explained at length...
