✦ Synopsis

The aim of this paper is to discuss life and work history analysis in order to demonstrate the value of this research method for hospitality and tourism. Despite a well-established use of life and work history data as a research method in the social sciences, as yet it has received little application to hospitality and tourism research. In pursuit of its aims the paper explores three main themes. The starting point is to trace the development and examine the use of the life and work history method in social science research. Second, a discussion of the use of the work history method in a study of UK hotel general managers is outlined to demonstrate how work history analysis can be used to provide information on past and present labour market conditions. Finally, it is argued that the information provided by undertaking work history analysis has particular relevance for the hospitality and tourism industry.

Acute and Chronic Toxicity of Veratrum V

Acute and Chronic Toxicity of Veratrum Viride††The Veratrum viride studied was the whole-powdered drug marketed by Irwin, Neisler & Co. under the name, Vertavis. The work reported herein was supported by a grant from this firm. The batch of powder used in these experiments was stated by the manufacturer to have been assayed biologically by the Craw method on Daphnia magna. One Craw unit of the material studied was stated to be 15.6mg. With regard to this assay, Mr. R. O. Craw has been so kind as to allow us to publish a brief explanation: A reference lot of Yerolrum oirid; powder was set-aside as a standard and a 10% w/v aqueous extract was made of this powder. The average median length of life in 50 assays of 1000 daphnia on immersion in the solution was determined to be 2.22 hours. The daphnia were considered dead when the heart was found to be in systolic standstill on microscopic examination. Succeeding lots of powder were assayed and their potency determined by relating the median length of life of daphnia to 2.22 hours, which is one unit. Twenty assays of 10 animals each were used on each lot of powder.‡‡The authors wish to thank Dr. J. F. A.,McManus of the Department of Pathology for a pathologic report on the tissues, and Mr. James Thomas and Mrs. Bobby E. Teague for technical assistance.
