...hundreds of graduate doctors, among them his son & assistant Dr. Chevalier Lawrence Jackson, the technique of removing growths and obstructions from the mouth, gullet and windpipe. There he taught them that for which the ordinary citizen knows him best-the removal from the lungs of tacks, pins, grains, teeth, bones and other knicknacks.

The Eskimo method is to dangle a small ivory fish with a hook on it. By this means they catch four or five fish...
...true reporter's touchstone. Cub newspapermen everywhere may with profit study the candor and simplicity with which this artist, alert and at all times objectively interested, sets down such minutiae as the differences in the cigar-smoking of Calvin Coolidge (knife and holder) and Herbert Hoover (fingernails and teeth), or the lineaments of Toscanini's left hand...
