...base of a new general principle of chemotherapy, I succeeded in producing new gold compounds, which are incorporated through the skin, by simply rubbing them in.

Imitation pearls are built around this hollow core, which therefore is considerably larger and has perceptible lips. Other proofs of true pearls: they are not easily frangible (imitations are only wax-filled glass balls); being organic, they are dulled and ultimately dissolved in vinegar's mild acetic acid (imitations dull but do not dissolve...
