...awards for medicine and physics, comes a report from abroad of a young Swiss physician, Dr. Leander Tomarkin, who has apparently discovered, in a new drug called antimicrobum tomarkin, a cure for pneumonia. Results of experiments carried on in military hospitals and at Rome University indicate that the mortality rate of thirty-five per cent in pneumonia and bronchial pneumonia can, by the use of the drug, be reduced to less than one per cent...
...rate it is apparent that Pius XI has definitely associated himself with the magic word " peace" ?the Pope of Peace. And it is therefore predictable that if the piping times return to Europe, the prestige of the Vatican will be more powerful than at any point in nearly a century...
...samples must be taken under certain prescribed conditions?dim light, no red in room, patient facing west! The specimens are placed on aluminum electrodes in a small, round box called a "dynamizer," connected by an elaborate wiring system with a "rheostat dynamizer" for amplifying the reactions, a " vibratory rate rheostat" and a "measuring rheostat" for determining the wave rate "ohmage" of the specimen. These are connected to an electrode on the forehead of a healthy human being, called the " re-agent," who stands stripped to the waist and barefooted on two metal grounding plates. The doctor "percusses" the abdomen...
Abrams has invented numerous other machines. After the diagnosis is made, treatment is applied by the " oscilloclast." This is based on the principle that specific drugs possess the same vibratory rate as the diseases for which they are effective. By turning on the proper rate for a few treatments the "oscilloclast " clears " the disease. The machine is not for sale, but is leased for $200 down and $5 a month to Abrams graduates who will sign a contract not to open the apparatus. Other Abrams devices are the " electro-concussor;" the " biodynamometer," for determining "the potentiality of human energy...
Perhaps Mr. Stokes is a deep-dyed villain. At any rate it has not been settled in court of law. But this paper, the Daily News (Manhattan) pillories him before the public eye, championing the cause of Mrs. Stokes. It made even Mr. Stokes' comparatively innocent appearance? a harmless if not a handsome face? the subject of an almost libelous cartoon. And verbally it piled on mud to the dimensions of a plaster cast...
