Occasionally the tooth is just at the wrong stage for effective treatment-half dead and half alive. In that case I am willing to subscribe to Mr. Heilner's suggestion of holding liquor in the mouth- with amplifications. My suggestion is that the sufferer hold and swallow at least six drinks of liquor; and then look for a convenient place to lie down, when the toothache would be of minor consequence.... DR. MORRIS T. MANN...
...continued his hunger strike which had then reached its 24th day. Mr. Vanzetti said: "Well, I'm damned glad. I'd like to see my sister before I die." (His sister sailed last week for the U. S. on the Aquitania from Cherbourg.) Soon Mr. Vanzetti began to swallow liquids and, later, salads. Mr. Madeiros who had been eating heavily sat in a stupor...
...extended journey on the swift Twentieth Century Limited with no stops or layovers; no dimming of lights by night, nor shading the glowing sun by day. TIME thrills me as a sensational airplane ride, with its gyrations, its quick twists and turns and glides-nose-dive, falling leaf, swallow flight, tail spin, loop-the-loop-would thrill and chill a landlubber.

Only the fools sprint. It is 3,000 miles from Los Angeles to Manhattan, where a $25,000 prize, fat vaudeville contracts and the plaudits of a multitude await the first super-marathoner to stagger across the finish line within...
...through the flesh with a fork, dipped in a smarting pepper cocktail, partly mangled by human teeth, squeezed down a narrow canal, smothered to death in the gastric juices of the human stomach. How can civilized sensibilities stand for this, asked the oyster's friends. Could a man swallow a slimy, wiggling baby toad and not feel any reaction in his stomach?* Edward G. Boulenger, Director of the Aquarium at the London Zoo, a stalwart oyster champion, called attention to the following evolutionary axiom: "The higher the form of life an animal has, the more keenly it suffers...
