As we walked back out to the Watergate, Vasco said, If you have any sense, boy, you will start running now and not stop until you are somewhere in the hinterland of the Kingdom of Prester John, wearing a heavy beard. ... 

In the early 1950s, researchers Humphry Osmond and John Smythies wrote a paper about the mental effects of mescaline that came to the attention of Aldous Huxley, who invited Osmond to visit him if he should be in the Los Angeles area. Huxley s wife, Maria, was initially apprehensive about such a meeting, fearing that Osmond "might wear a beard." When Osmond did go to L.A. for a psychological conference, Maria was satisfied that he was not a Bohemian or a mad scientist (he didn t have a beard), and he stayed with the Huxleys. Maria, ironically, finally asked about getting some mescaline for Aldous. Osmond s reaction to the proposal was favorable, with one reservation ...

The individual, e.g. John, is recognizable, he has- characters, but these characters do not define them if he shaves his beard, he is still John if by accident he looses his leg, he is still John, etc. 

Parallel with, or anticipating these developments, was the work of John Beard (1858-1924), who for 30 years was a comparative embryologist at the University of Edinburgh Medical School, and who wrote a book called The Enzyme Treatment of Cancer (Moss, 1992, p. 308 Hasselbrager, 1978, pp. 139, 140). Few enzymes were known in those times, and known ones were impure at that, so Beard s contribution on the role of enzymes in cancer therapy did not receive a fair trial. The work has continued, however, notably using pancreatic enzymes, with Beard s theories helping to lay the groundwork. 

John returned home and took his medical degree in 1804. His dissertation was dedicated to his father. Then, instead of accepting an appointment at the Philadelphia General Hospital— where he would have been under his father s shadow—he re-entered the Navy as a sailing master. His naval career lasted less than four years. In 1807, John Rush fought a duel with Benjamin Taylor, one of his closest friends, in which he killed Taylor. Within a year, he attempted suicide. In February, 1810, John was returned to the parental home. His father described him thus Neither the embraces nor tears of his parents, brothers or sisters could prevail upon him to speak to them. His grief and uncombed hair and long beard added to the distress produced by the disease of his mind. .. ...
