Next experiments will probably test the power of Dr. Wyckoff's chick vaccine to confer immunity on human beings. Further research may also determine whether some equine virus is responsible for a large proportion of human encephalitis...
...psychological double-cross sent the dog into a nervous state called traumatic neurosis, from which he had to be rescued by rest and daily rectal instillations of bromides. An obedient motorist is conditioned to stop at a red light, to proceed at a green. But Dr. Fabing's research marked the green as a treacherous come-on, since often just when a motorist steps on the accelerator the green light changes to red, so that his right foot must jump for the brake. Soon most motorists develop what Dr. Fabing calls an "anxiety neurosis in miniature," mainly centred...

Always before, they point out, research on this problem has been conducted by a group hopelessly prejudiced one way or the other, or else the results of its investigation have been buried deep in the files of libraries, there to rot away and never become available to the reading public. When the results of impartial research are made generally known, they contend, a workable...
