...cell, t for Turck). Each species of animal and plant has its own kind of cytost. Injury to the body liberates quantities of cytost into the blood stream. If the injury is severe-as in mangling, mayhem or scalding-the vast quantity of exuded cytost acts as a poison, causes shock and often death. Occasional, small quantities of cytost are stimulating, but repeated small doses act as a cumulative poison...
Despite investigations, Dr. Turck was unable to determine the precise nature of cytost. If a chemical, it is very stable, resisting heat (up to 300° C) and age (Sir Flinders Petrie reports that mummy dust contains an active poison). Dr. Turck thought cytost an enzyme or a hormone. In the Action of the Living Cell, he uttered the "earnest hope that other investigators will attempt to repeat and extend his observations." It was his scientific testament. While strolling Fifth Avenue last November he died of heart failure, aged 75. With him were his adoring wife and namesake...
Rasputin and the Empress (Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer). The most exciting sequence in this picture is the one which shows Prince Chegodieff (John Barrymore) murdering Rasputin (Lionel Barry-more).

When Rasputin finds out at whose house he has been holding his lecherous revels, he takes Chegodieff downstairs...

The invitation came from Dr. Jacob Casson Geiger, the bald, beak-nosed Director of Public Health at whose request a survey of poison cases was later made which resulted in the successful use last fortnight of methylene blue, a dye common in the textile industry, as antidote for cyanide of potassium (TIME...
...textile industry. Biologists use it to stain various microbes. Physicians find the substance useful in malaria, neuralgia and urogenital infections. Dr. Millzner's use of methylene blue followed first aid instructions prepared this autumn by Pharmacologists Paul John Hanzlik (Stanford University) & Chauncey Depew Leake (University of California). Cyanides poison the body cells, make them incapable of taking life-essential oxygen from the blood. In some unknown way methylene blue detoxifies the cells, enables them to breathe again...
