...exposure to ultraviolet light. Careful analysis of hygienic habits, clothing, and exercise has failed to show that these are important factors in immunity to colds. But there is one clue which Dr. Dochez and his associates, Dr. Yale Kneeland Jr. and Katherine C. Mills, hope may lead them to success. There is "evidence that several agents [viruses and bacteria] work together to produce the varied types of [respiratory] disease, and this evidence may lead to an efficient vaccination...
...First success in growing the leprosy germ artificially came after Professors McKinley and Soule placed the germs in a special atmosphere of carbon dioxide and oxygen. The youngest of 16 generations of germs grown that way were potent enough to cause what looked like leprosy in laboratory monkeys. Professor McKinley here diverged and with the help of Professor Adah Elizabeth Verder of George Washington University grew another crop of germs in minced chicken embryo under ordinary atmosphere. New generations developed in seven to ten days and accelerated efforts to produce immunization agents. Eventually the investigators hope to devise a skin...

If he had genius in addition to his Horatio Alger traits, there was only the circumstantial evidence of his colossal success in dollars. From the time he began his first important publishing venture, The Tribune & Farmer, in Philadelphia in 1879 (this followed a series of smaller-scale efforts, jobs as advertising solicitor, circulation hustler, etc. etc.) to the day when he could address an audience of 8,000,000, Publisher Curtis never swum...
