It notes their impact on chemistry infection control and sanitation with a nod to the Illinois Medical Society Educational Committee approval. It ends with a light aside and a joke about leather care and attire.

Thought for the Deed McGraw and the Umpire
John J. McGraw, famed New York Giants manager, was known for pugnacity yet could show rough diplomacy. After a close loss he asked the umpire what would happen if he called the official an incompetent robber. The umpire replied a fine and suspension would follow. McGraw then asked if merely thinking the umpire was incompetent would yield no action.
