Sixteen years of experimentation at the Rockefeller Institute substantiate this theory. Early in 1912 Dr. Murphy and his colleague Dr. Francis Peyton Rous produced tumors in young healthy chickens. From these tumors they made extracts; inoculated more healthy chicks; produced more tumors. Always the new tumor had all the characteristics of the tumor from which the extract was prepared. Extract from one species would grow only in the same, or occasionally in a closely related, species. This seemed scarcely the work of a microbe; much more closely did it resemble the activity of a ferment or enzyme like the bacteriophage...
...quoting Literary Digest existed in 1871 to extract the first strong utterances of the Omaha Bee.

For ten concentrated years scientists have been working to extract an oil from the dried fruit of the hydnocarpus tree that could safely be used in the fight against leprosy.

The demeanor of flawless respectability which has so often served able Actor Arliss well now plays him false. He finds it difficult to add writhing to his words as they eject ". . . and spit upon my Jewish gaberdine." He finds it difficult to scream "My daughter, my ducat...
