Their faces are turned toward the light-theirs is the life of great adventure...

From what we know of foreign countries, I am convinced that we have a right to assume that we have a larger proportion of happy, normal children than any other country in the world.

The "scram-bled speech" invention is already used by five transatlantic radio telephone channels.

Based on this physiological fact is the principle of giving cases of electrical shock, and now (experimentally) pneumonia cases, a little lung-stimulating carbon dioxide with the excess of pure oxygen for the blood...
