...Holmes, president of the American Chemical Society and head of Oberlin's chemistry department, has long worked on vitamins and body chemistry, was first to isolate pure vitamin A in crystalline form (TIME, April 26, 1937). In an interview last fortnight he listed other recent uses for vitamin C: intravenous injection of one gram in solution for shock (another instance when blood histamine is high); in wound healing; for insomnia; in treating industrial workers exposed to toxic dusts.

"First think of something to say," his formula ran, "Then say it the way the theatergoer wants to hear it-meaning, of course, that you must lie like the dickens."
