...Seldom does Dr. Loewi spend more than two years on a subject. This inconstancy gave Sir Henry Dale, a big, diligent Englishman, opportunity to pioneer on his own with many a discovery in the chemistry of nerves. One of the subtlest products of nervous reactions is acetylcholine. Sir Henry found this evanescent substance, when isolated from the body, to be a colorless, odorless, crystalline powder. It causes capillaries and small arteries to dilate, thus lowering blood pressure and slowing the action of an overworking heart. It relaxes smooth muscles, thus relieving spasms of the bladder, ureters, uterus, intestines...
...Father Mussolini ordered that they never be mentioned again in this connection, lest they get swelled heads. Ciano, according to brother aviators, is an in different pilot, but recklessly brave.

S. history have the reports of private industry played into the hands of a Presidential nominee so neatly as those for the third quarter of 1936. The first 76 corporations to publish their figures on the eve of election showed aggregate profits of $71,480,000, a 47% increase over the third quarter of 1935. Some typical reports...
Deviating from its former policy of presenting all kinds of classical music, the club this year is restricting its programs to works not ordinarily heard from the concert platform, including music of little known medieval and Renaissance composers, works by great authors which are seldom performed, modern music which is not frequently heard, and student compositions...
