...late great German, Robert Koch (1843-1910), who with the late great Louis Pasteur (1822-95) gave medicine its modern turn and who lived long enough to win a Nobel Prize (1905),* discovered the tuberculosis bacillus. It is often called Koch's bacillus. One of Koch's and Pasteur's early disciples in the new medicine was young Léon Charles Albert Calmette (born 1863, at Nice). He began to practice medicine in Paris as their discoveries and technique were beginning to spread.

Since then Dr. Macleod has returned...
...NATURAL MOTHER-Dominique Dunois-Macaulay ($2.50). This book was awarded the 1929 Prix Femina-Vie Heureuse, a cash prize of 5,000 francs offered annually by the two French magazines of that name. That it won the prize merely indicates that the French are not always so gay. Neither a cheerful nor an aphrodisiac story, its flaming jacket suggests that at least it has its lickerish moments. Not so. A stout French peasant lass, Georgette Garou, knows what she wants and goes after it with few words and indomitable dignity. She wants to keep her farm, to get a husband...
