Recently Sir Thomas Lewis, eminent London heart specialist, made a special study of how an arm or leg dies when an embolus (floating clot) plugs a main artery which feeds blood to that limb. Competent heart specialists and surgeons generally see such blood-starved limbs too late to save them from gangrene and amputation. Last week, by chance, a Chicago doctor, Geza deTakats, in the American Journal of Surgery, and a Toronto doctor, Donald Walton Gordon Murray, in the Canadian Medical Association Journal, each gave explicit directions for locating such a destructive clot, removing it by surgery, thus saving...

Onto its upper end, through the folds of the elaborate knot, is rigidly attached a horizontal iron rod, which passes under the Yogi's arm to the upper side of his body, and from the end of which he is suspended by means of some sort of harness around his body. The rod is concealed by his half-closed hand and voluminous, wrist-length sleeves...
Next Herr Greiser, with the jerky motions of a Prussian drill sergeant, advanced upon "Tony" Eden, seized his hand, shook it vigorously, gave the Nazi salute with upraised arm individually to "Tony" and two other members of the Council, whirled on his heel and began to stalk out. Hearing snickers from the 80 journalists present, Nazi Greiser thumbed his nose at the press box. This evoked a mighty uproar which puzzled the Council because its members could not see the German's gesture but only his broad back. Up jumped the Manchester Guardian's Robert Dell, President...
Some 200 women and men, strong of arm and body, who earn their living as physiotherapists, sat down in a Los Angeles auditorium last week for a dance performance which was part entertainment, part instruction. Four strapping girls in short trunks rambled onto the stage, swung legs and arms, rotated feet, hands, heads, clenched fists, raised knees, arched backs, twisted torsos, squatted...
