...President Hoover was a slender little gentleman who looked not unlike a brownskin edition of Secretary Mellon (but with wider lips). This, a very finicky gentleman with his own chef, an imposing retinue of secretaries, an in come of $3,000,000 per year and a family tree 900 years old, was the much-married Maharajah of Kapurthala in the Punjab, accredited representative to the League of Nations of Their Highnesses the Indian ruling princes.

That extract, when injected into the lymph systems and thence into the blood stream of live frogs stimulated them remarkably. It toned up their muscles, made them stronger, especially it seemed to speed up their reactions. Treated frogs saw flies more quickly than normal...
Steinach has "certainly not" tried centronervin on humans. "It is a tremendous field and only sheer ignorance could imagine that such a problem could be solved by a few experiments on tree frogs...
