...Borden, Immunologist Theobald Smith. As doctor he was an internist, with digestive disorders his specialty. Last week, at the behest of Manhattan's August Holland Society, friends of the late Fenton Benedict Turck gathered to honor the posthumous publication of a book by him-Action, of the Living Cell (Macmillan...
Prodigious Dr. Turck invented a theory of disease. Biochemistry has not accepted the Turck theory but finds it highly provocative. Dr. Turck found experimental evidence, and reported in scores of scientific papers, that the juice of every living cell contains a substance which he called cytost (cytos for cell, t for Turck). Each species of animal and plant has its own kind of cytost. Injury to the body liberates quantities of cytost into the blood stream. If the injury is severe-as in mangling, mayhem or scalding-the vast quantity of exuded cytost acts as a poison, causes shock...
...determine the precise nature of cytost. If a chemical, it is very stable, resisting heat (up to 300° C) and age (Sir Flinders Petrie reports that mummy dust contains an active poison). Dr. Turck thought cytost an enzyme or a hormone. In the Action of the Living Cell, he uttered the "earnest hope that other investigators will attempt to repeat and extend his observations." It was his scientific testament. While strolling Fifth Avenue last November he died of heart failure, aged 75. With him were his adoring wife and namesake...
Died. Clinton Grate, 33, one of four convicts who started the 1930 Ohio State Penitentiary fire (dead: 322); by his own hand (hanging in his cell); in Columbus, Ohio. Of the four, two have died by self-hanging, one gone insane, one remains in the penitentiary...
Oscar Winheld was taken away and placed in a cell. The desk sergeant told him not to worry about it. A guard came by and said, "Don't worry, you'll probably get off with a suspended sentence or a light fine tomorrow." When the guard came back later he found his prisoner had hanged himself to the crossbar of the cell door with his belt. Policemen who searched Oscar Winheld's home to see if he really did have some money, found none. Some of them figured that the Depression had killed Oscar Winheld...
