Other prominent French figures connected with La Voisin include Olympe Mancini (niece of Cardinal Mazarin and mother of Prince Eugene of Savoy), her sister Marie Anne Mancini, and Marshal Luxembourg (duke and peer of France and one of the military heroes of the time). The Duke of Buckingham was also rumored to have been one of La Voisin s clients. 

In the early belief that these reactions were completely stereospecific, we felt that the reaction of [Co(1-pn)2CI2]+ with carbonate could not give an optical inversion under any experimental conditions. This is, of course, not true, as was soon shown by the work of McReynolds (28) and Sister Mary Martinette Hagan (29). In a cobalt complex containing asymmetric ligands, one form is preferred, but both forms can and do exist. In the same belief, we hoped that stereospecific effects could be used in the resolution of racemic potential ligands. This does give partial resolution, as shown by the work of Johnson (30),... 

Pope Gregory the Great (AD590-604) partly settled the vexed question of Mary s complex character. This influential Pope declared that Mary Magdalene, Lazarus sister Mary of Bethany and the sinner woman in Luke to be the same person. ... 

The physical examination in patients with gastric adenocarcinoma is nsnally normal. In advanced disease, a palpable abdominal mass, hepatomegaly, or ascites may be present. Lymph nodes may be palpated at the umbilicns (Sister Mary Joseph s node) or the supraclavicular region (Virchow s node). A perirectal mass may occur, with tumor deposition in the rectal pouch (Blumer s shelf), and palpable ovarian enlargement may occur with tumor seeding as well (Krukenberg tumor). 

Sister Mary Joseph s nodule presents metastatic cancer to the umbilicus. It usually ranges from 1 to 1.5 cm in size, but can attain a size of up to 10 cm (Fig. 10.9). 

Fig. 10.9. Umbilical metastasis. Sister Mary Josefs nodule is a peritoneal implant to the umbilicus. In this patient, a solid 1.5-cm lesion (arrow) is demonstrated. Other signs of peritoneal tirnior spread include large amounts of ascites and focal thickening of the peritoneum in the right paracolic gutter...

Newman, Promethean Ambitions chapter 2, and Technology and Alchemical Debate, pp. 423-445. The centrality of alchemy in such discussion even in the seventeenth century is acknowledged by Sister Mary Richard Reif, Natural Philosophy in Some Early Seventeenth Century Scholastic Textbooks (Ph.D. diss., St. Louis University, 1962), p. 238 One final question briefly touched upon by several authors concerns the possibility of producing a truly natural product by means of human skill. TTie question is usually posed in this way Can art effect certain works of nature The specific problem which they almost always have in mind is the transmutation of baser metals through the art of alchemy. ...
