...novel of that name in which the only two pleasant characters get hanged. As an absent-minded young doctor in a small English village, Paul Muni (with a phony English accent) has a chance to act in mufti for a change, instead of doing one of those great impersonations (Pasteur, Zola, Juarez) in which he is aided by overmetic-ulous makeup and fussy mimicry.

When the wife agrees to employ an Austrian...

Fortnight ago, in The New England Journal of Medicine, Dr. Robert Northwall...

Among the achievements of the Institute are development of a vaccine to prevent tuberculosis by Albert Calmette and Alphonse Guérin in 1921,* Emile Roux's and Alexandre Yersin's epoch-making work on the diphtheria bacillus, the typhus discoveries of Nobelman Charles Nicolle of the Pasteur Institute in Tunis, the syphilis and encephalitis investigations of Constantin Levaditi...
