...smelled like a tidy butcher shop; the exhibit on fractures with demonstrations of their proper setting and immobilizing with plaster of paris bandages or splints; the exhibit on varicose veins with local patients getting their swollen veins plugged by a solution of glucose and salt. A couple of pet Belgian hares lay comfortably tied in cradles so that an ear of each could be held under a microscope. In the lightly clamped ear was a tiny window through which an observer could see blood cells flowing and flesh growing...
...American Psychiatric Association did not deter Dr. Brill from his Lincoln psychoanalysis at Toronto last week. The great majority of the mental specialists at the convention treated the controversy as an amusing byplay to their serious business of telling each other their pet methods of ameliorating and preventing psychoses.

Since Dole pineapples fill...
...Bulgakov has been previously warned that his profound cerebrations will unseat his reason, that he has ''a little devil in his mind." A prime symptom: His astounding fondness for a caged orangutan which he subjects to a minute character-analysis. After his pet orangutan dies and Mr. Bulgakov pays a visit to the novelist's wife, up pops the devil. The scientist feigns madness (a circumstance which will extenuate his crime), kills the lady's husband with a very heavy ash tray. Then follows Mr. Bulgakov's big scene, with a stage entirely to himself...
