...small roped-off circle before the spectators. Around and around they went, slowly, slowly, sometimes to raucous noise from a jazz orchestra, sometimes only to an inner rhythm of their own, around and around, slowly, slowly. The members of the audience kept close watch on those five faces, haggard with six months fatigue, indisputably young but drawn and lined beyond the power of rice powder and rouge to conceal; the audience watched the faces for signs that would show the near collapse of one or another of the youths. If the audience tired of watching it was amused by seeing...
Cancer "Cures." Good news to enemies of quack cancer "cures" were two court actions last week. In St. Louis three years ago Mrs. G. W. Haggard discovered a pea-sized lump in her right breast.

The Fellows of the College settled down to a hard week's round of lectures, conferences, clinics and surmises, which President Haggard's further rhapsody on Women lightened. Cried Dr. Haggard...
...Years of dental history were sketched colorfully by Yale's Physiologist Howard Wilcox Haggard, able popularizer. The first dentists were mountebanks who probably snatched purses on the side. All they knew was how to pull teeth, open gumboils. For extractions they used a fearsome instrument called "the pelican," precursor of the Stillson wrench. It always got the offending tooth usually accompanied by one on each side and one above.
