    Notes: The Old Comedy, says Plutarch, is unsuitable for reading to a dinner-party taking their wine; it is ill regulated, violent, and sometimes indecent; moreover, it would require a commentator to explain the personal allusions and we should be in school again. These allusions are perhaps even more obscure to us; yet we read our Aristophanes, and what we have of Menander would not make us agree with Plutarch's decided preference for the New Comedy. And they have an interest of their own in giving us glimpses of some of the prominent figures in Athenian life and of the objects of public mockery or reprobation; for Aristophanes would make sure that his personal references were such as to secure applause, and most of them occur in the other comedians of the time.

    Notes: The physical theories of Democritus were and are profoundly interesting as an attempt to answer some of the great questions of natural science—how to account for growth and change, for the fact that earth turns into corn, corn into men, and men again into earth. The early Ionic philosophers had seen that some necessary common basis must be found, and had sought it in water or fire or some other supposed element. The inadequacy of these explanations soon became evident to the rapidly growing Greek intellect, and Democritus found the common basis in atoms, indestructible and indivisible; an infinite number of these were moving through space, differing in shape and hardness; the movement of the atoms had a certain swerve which enabled them to meet, and the meeting of infinite numbers enabled those of the right shape and texture to join and form the things we see (res in Lucretius). Atoms and void—there was nothing else, and nothing else was needed to produce the world we know. This is a purely physical theory and might be held by Napoleon, Cleopatra, or Charles Peace, nor is it capable of being made the subject of a great poem

    Notes: Yesterday was my seventy-fifth birthday, and I saw the Herakles of Euripides. Where are the gods, Euclides? Euripides, they say, worships gods of his own, and strange divinities too, if stories are true; but Athens is a city of gossip. He certainly has scant respect for the gods of his fathers; and the audience, but for us few older men, who almost go back to the generation of Marathon, the audience, in the main, was with him. It was the same theatre, my old friend, where you and I, as boys, sat nearly sixty years ago and watched the Persae of Aeschylus. What a day that was! There stood Salamis, where we were taken by our mothers to live in that anxious, waiting crowd for those long weeks while the Persians sacked the city and were at last defeated on that blue strait which glittered in the sun before our eyes while the poet told its story on the stage. Then shortly afterwards you went away and found a home on the shores of the Euxine, and since then you have known Athens, you say, only by my letters. You went away before the work of restoring the Akropolis had advanced very far. I have told you of the temples built upon it in honour of the gods who saved Greece, so men said then. They rose above our heads yesterday, dazzling white against deepest blue; but what are their gods to Athens now?

    Notes: It is more than a hundred years since the walls of Athens were pulled down to the sound of the flute, since Euripides died, since the fresh, vigorous, political life of Athens passed into the era of orators and philosophers. And even the era of orators and philosophers has lost its power and originality, and no Greek city has taken the place of Athens. The Greek world is a scene of courts and kings, or of effete democracies where the orators cannot even talk as well as Demosthenes. The empire of Alexander has passed over the eastern Mediterranean. Alexandria is growing into a great capital, a civilized capital, a city with a great city population, with library, scholars, critics, and great learning, under the protection of a court. Its poets are elegant imitators, polished elegists, or epigrammatists, and there seems no prospect of a new birth of poetry. The Aegean islands are quiet. No more desperate struggles for liberty: no strains of Sappho or Archilochus. The most interesting island is perhaps Cos, an island fertile and beautiful, famous for its vines and weaving of fine stuffs. It has a close connexion with the Alexandrian court and forms a kind of ‘Villegiatura’ for it. There is in the island a famous school of medicine, and also a literary coterie, with Philetas as its leader, and Philetas is struck with the quaint idea of disguising himself and his friends as shepherds in the poems they write about each other. The idea seems an amusing device for escaping from the academic atmosphere of Alexandria.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung In Tierversuchen wurde der Einfluß von Calcitonin, Ribonucleinsäuren, Aminosäuren, Kallikrein, Wachstumshormon und cyclischem Adenosin 3′5′ monophosphat auf die Heilung von Tibiafrakturen der Kaninchen geprüft. Um objektive Meßergebnisse der Callusstabilität zu erhalten, wurden die Knochen maschinell bis zur Refraktur gebogen. Die angewandte Kraft und der Grad der Durchbiegung wurden fortlaufend gemessen und in Kurven aufgetragen. Der Anstiegswinkel der erzielten Kurven galt als Parameter der Callusstabilität. Versuche mit Calcitonin zeigten keinen Effekt auf die Knochenbruchheilung. Injektionen von Ribonucleinsäuren, Aminosäuren, Kallikrein und Wachstumshormon ließen einen begrenzten Einfluß auf die Callusfestigung erkennen. Eine Verbesserung der Frakturheilung wurde durch cyclisches Adenosin 3′5′ monophosphat erreicht. Durch die Kombination von cyclischem Adenosin 3′5′ monophosphat mit Aminosäuren, Ribonucleinsäuren und Kallikrein wurde ein optimales Resultat erzielt.
    Notes: Summary The influence of calcitonine, amino acids, ribonucleid acids, kallikrein, growth hormone, and cyclic adenosine 3′5′ monophosphate on fracture repair was tested in rabbits. To obtain an objective measurement of callus stability the bones were bent mechanically. The force applied and the degree of bending were recorded continuously. The slope of the curve was taken as a parameter of callus stability. In the series with calcitonine no influence on fracture healing was found. Injections of ribonucleic acids, amino acids, kallikrein, and growth hormone demonstrated a limited effect on bone repair. Callus formation was stimulated by adenosine 3′5′ monophosphate. Optimal results were achieved by a combination of adenosine 3′5′ monophosphate, amino acids, ribonucleic acids, and kallikrein.
