Jacobsen's three comrades?Marie Roemaet-Rosanoff, violoncello; Paul Bernard, second violin; Louis Kaufman, viola?are of U. S. birth. Critics agree that each is a virtuoso in his own right. The Quartet's origin was as casual as its playing has been brilliant. The four friends, students in the Institute of Musical Art at Manhattan, had long been wont to meet of an afternoon or evening and beguile the hours with music for their own entertainment. Often they played at the home of Efrem Zimbalist and his wife Alma Gluck, or for Jascha Heifetz. Sometimes, with one of these...
...foods, drugs and insecticides.* He was obliged to compromise for expediency, to trust the manufacturers' probity. The ergot extractors to whom he released substandard crude ergot were trustworthy. All the ergot extract which left the manufacturers was legally pure and obstetrically safe; but practically every extract of vegetable origin quickly deteriorates. Manufacturing druggists now date every bottle of their fluid extracts of ergot; retail druggists may not legally sell such extract after one year's possession; doctors knowingly would...

Ergot is a rust on the heads of rye. Ergot extract is widely used in obstetrics, to cause contraction of the uterus and control uterine bleeding. The physiological action of the extract is not precise, a fault of many drugs of vegetable origin. Their composition is complex and variable. Hence physicians lately have been adopting more controllable products. In obstetrics, pituitary solutions refined from the pituitary glands >of animals are supplanting ergot. But great quantities of fluid extract of ergot are still used. The raw material reaches the U. S. from Russia (and Poland) and Spain (and Portugal...
