...Dundee, N. Y., at the county fair, one Otis Dowland, in tights, flexed his biceps, patted his stomach, pouted his chest, lay on the ground. A plank was laid across his abdomen, an automobile driven towards him with the righthand wheels on the plank. Otis Dowland empurpled his face with straining, scowled up at the crowd, as the automobile ascended its human bump. The car's driver, a stupid bumpkin, stalled the engine in mid-plank. Strongman Dowland grimaced, retched, shrieked. The car was pushed away. Strongman was whisked to a hospital, where doctors pronounced his vitals...
...wiped clean of War guilt, what states are War guilty? French Nationalists saw in the "bierabend speech" of Herr Stresemann an implied casting of War guilt on France. Moreover Premier Poincare himself has been accused of being the chief author of the World War by revisionist historians. Would he stomach "Gambrinus" Stresemann's indiscretions? When M.

He never seeks to impress his audience with the extent of his lore, and his experiences have been so diverse...

Early and abrupt weaning is a frequent cause of mammary cancer. Altogether, these and other cancers are the result of known causes and can be prevented."-James Ewing of Manhattan. He added that no effective antiseptic has been discovered. He recommended gargling with plain soap and water...
...Rome, Dr. Marco Porzio, great surgeon, was quoted as denouncing U. S. surgeons for "permitting" Rudolph Valentino to die (TIME, Aug. 30), after a mere "appendicitis" operation. The fact is, Rudolph Valentino died of septicaemia (blood poisoning) after the perforation of a gastric (stomach) ulcer. Polyclinic Hospital officials had not realized that many people were as interested in the cinema-man's disease as in his personality. Indeed, so gauntly meagre were the hospital bulletins that an Italian correspondent cabled Mr. Valentino's malady as "appendicitis." Dr. Porzio was deceived. But no one in the U. S. explained...
