DULL MOANS THE CHEMICAL NATURE OF WOMAN This element called woman is a member of the human family. It has been assigned the chemi- cal svmbol Wo, accepted atomic weight is 120. although a number of isotypes have been identified haying ' weights from 95-460. Occurrence It is abundant in nature, found in both free and combined state, usually associated with men. That found in the U. S. is preierred. Chemical Properties A transparency, hardness, col- or and boiling and melting point vary within wide limits. The color exhibited by many speci- mens is a surface phenomenon and is usually due to a more or less closely adhering powder. If has been ' found that an unpol- ished specimen tends to turn green in the presence of a pol- ' ished one. The boihng point tor some yarieties is quite low, while others are likely to freeze at any moment. All yarieties melt under proper treatment. The taste yaries from sweet to very bitter, depending upon environ- ment and treatment. Physical Properties Absorbs without dissolving, in a number of liquids, the activity being greatly increased by alco- hol. Absorbs seemingly unlim- ited quantities of expensive foods. Many natural occurring va- rieties of Wo are highly mag- netic; in general the magnetism varies inversely with the density and size, and directly with the square of the valence, inversely with the cube of the age. All vanities exhibit great affinity for gold, silver and platinum and precious stones in both chain and ring structures. The valence toward these substances is high and is complicated by the fact that the residual valence is never satisfied. Many stable and un- stable unions have been de- scribed—the latter in the daily press. Some varieties, being highly explosive, are dangerous in inexperienced hands. In gen- eral thev tend to explode spon- taneously when left alone tem- porarily by men. Uses Highly ornamental. Wide ap- plication in arts and domestic science. Acts as a positive and negative catalyst in the produc- tion of fever, as the case may be. Useful as a tonic in alleviation ol sickness, low spirits, etc. Effi- cient as a cleaning agent. Equalizes the distribution of wealth, probably the most pow- erful (income) reducing agent known. We enjoy serving our friends at the Aiedical College of Virginia with A visitor in the hospital asked a student nurse to direct him to the Gent ' s Room.

NOTT-SHOTT A duel was lately fought in Texas by Alexander Shott and John S Nott. Nott was shot and Shott was not. Hence, it was in this case better to be Shott than Nott. There was a rumor that Nott was not shot, and Shott avers that he shot Nott, which proves either that Nott was shot, not- withstanding. Circumstantial evidence is not always good. It may be made to appear on trial that the shot Shott shot shot Nott, or as acci- dents with firearms are frequent, it may be possible that the shot Shott shot, shot Shott himself. Then the whole affair would re- solve itself in its original ele- ments, and Shott would be shot, and Nott would not be shot. We think, however, that the shot Shott shot shot not Shott. but Nott; anyway, it ' s hard to tell who was shot and who not. Maybe both Nott and Shott were half-shot to begin with. — Richmond Collegian. } u.rse: You say baby s name is Opium? What an odd name! You know opium is a product ol the wild poppy, don ' t you? Jfandy: Yassum, an ' ii dey evah werz a chile had a wild poppy, she ' s got one! How many students are there at the pharmacy college? Oh, about one in ten. A doctor telephoned the hos- pital about his patient and was answered by a student nurse. Has my patient had any hallucinations? the doctor in- quired. I don ' t know tor certain, replied the nurse, but she surely had them tj you ordered tern. On completing a lecture on obstetrics to student nurses, a doctor gave an examination. This was one ot the questions: Give some positive signs ot pregnancy. One ol the answers amused him very much. It read: One of the signs of pregnancy is a far-away look in her eye. Why don ' t you get me a baby brother to plav with? asked ten-year-old Martin of his mother. I have had all my insides taken out, explained tne broad- minded parent. Oh, good! cried her son. Then you must have room lor twins! The drug counter clerk was surprised when a professor asked: Can you supply me with some tablets of monoacetic acid ester of salicylic acid? Oh, you mean aspirin! said the clerk. That ' s it, that ' s it! I never can remember that name, re- plied the professor.

It the detail man answers, No, the doctor saves time by saying, Come around again when the Council accepts your product. It the detail man answers, Yes, the doctor knows that the composition of the product has been caretully verified, and that members ot the Council have scrutinised the label, weighed the evidence, checked the claims, and agreed that the product merits the confidence ot the physician. The doctor can ask his own questions, and make his own de- cision about using the product, but not only has he saved himself a vast amount of time but he has derived the benefit of a fearless, expert, fact-finding body whose sole purpose is to protect him and his patient. No one physician, even if he were qualified, could afford to devote so much time and study to every new product. His Council renders this service for him, freely. Nowhere else in the world is there a group that performs the functions so ably served by the Council on Pharmacy and Chemistry and the Council on Foods. Mead Johnson Company cooperates with both Councils, not because we have to but because we want to. Our detail men can always answer: Yes, this Mead Product is Council-Accepted.
