the head of the family told his two they could

all claims to the horse. He said he did not have

Considerable interest has been aroused in medical
and scientific circles in Ann Arbor over the recent
discoveries of DR.. Frederick G. Novy in regard to
the antiseptc properties of certain organic acid

Research carried for the last year in the
hygienic laboratory and the laboratory OF general
chemistry of the university has shown that the
formation of many of these organic hyperoxides is
due the action of oxygen on the surface OF
