Arrhenius, who received the Nobel Prize for chemistry in 1903 for his electrolytic theory of dissociation, spent the last part of his career the field of immunochemistry, a term he established via his book of that name published in 1907 (see Garrison-Morton.com 2564.1). "Arrhenius's work in immunochemistry . . . was an attempt to study toxin-antitoxin reactions, principally diphtheria reactions, using the concepts and methods developed in physical chemistry. Together with Torvald Madsen, director of the State Serum Institute in Copenhagen, he carried out wide-ranging experimental studies of bacterial toxins as well as plant and animal poisons. The technical difficulties were too great, however, for Arrhenius to realize his aim of making immunology an exact science" ("Svante Arrhenius," Encyclopaedia Britannica [online]). Arrhenius inscribed five of the six papers in this collection to German serologist Hans Sachs, best known for his work on improving the diagnosis of syphilis; see Garrison-Morton.com 2408. .

Author: Martin Luther King, Jr.
Seller: Appledore Books, ABAA (United States)
Condition: Very Good
Description: Philadelphia: American Friends Service Committee, 1963. Stapled wrappers. Very Good. The July 1963 4th printing of this historic letter from Dr. King, written on April 16th, 1963 while imprisoned at the Birmingham City Jail for "defying an injunction against anti-segregation protests". The letter was first printed in May of '63 and was quickly followed up with several succeeding printings in the next few months. This, the 4th printing, was published in July and has held up well. Very ephemeral to be sure but solid and VG in its stapled wrappers, with one thin, even crease running down the middle of the panels and light soiling along the edges. Thin octavo, 15 pgs. An important document from one of the most tempestuous periods of the Civil Rgihts struggles.

Title: [AMERICANA] [YEARBOOK] HIGH SCHOOL AUTOGRAPH BOOK
Author: Dorothy Ann Voigt
Seller: Black Swan Books, Inc. (United States)
Description: Chicago, Illinois, 1986. 4 ½” x 6” x ¾” black autograph book belonging to Dorothy Ann Voigt (1912-2000) of Chicago, Illinois. This is a charming book with multicolored pages, legible writing, an attractive cover. Miss Voigt wrote inside the front cover, “D.A.V. Junior + Sr Year High School at St Xavier’s Academy 49th Cottage Grove Ave – Chicago Illinois”. Her name, address, and a school emblem of a castle and sword are printed on the first page. It is a little over halfway full of personal notes signed by friends and teachers between 1930 and 1932. ~~St. Xavier’s Female Academy, now St. Xavier University, was a Catholic women’s college started by the Sisters of Mercy in 1846, when Chicago was a new city. After graduating from St. Xavier’s, Voigt attended Lake Forest College. A few years after this book was created Dorothy married Francis Edward Headen in 1936 and became the mother of two children, Donald and Nedra. ~~In 1986 Voigt revisited her youthful autograph book and left interesting updates to some of the entries. This retrospection on the innocent and earnest wishes for a bright and happy future from her classmates lends a twinge of sadness to the book. One Jewish classmate moved to Warsaw with her husband shortly before WWII. A heartfelt note from “Edith” is followed by the knowledge that she died young. However, Dorothy was still friends with “Emily” over 50 years after her entry! ~.
