...inspection trip to her working quarters. But in her small laboratory in a musty building at the end of a musty Manhattan street, Dr. Anna Wessels Williams last week kept her eyes to a microscope as closely as she had for 39 years. In those 39 years, first as bacteriologist, then as assistant director of the New York City Health Department's laboratories, she had become one of her country's foremost bacteriologists, winning many a major battle in the war against disease. Now, as she approached her 711st birthday, city officials wanted to take her from...
...only 15 human cases of tularemia had been reported in the U. S. As doctors began to recognize it the numbers jumped. Last year alone, there were 1,021 known cases, with some 50 deaths. No specific treatment for the disease was known until last year, when Bacteriologist Lee Foshay of the University of Cincinnati reported development of a curative antiserum. Commonest in Illinois, Ohio, Virginia, tularemia has been found in all states except Delaware, Washington and, until Allen Macdougall skinned a sick fox, New England...
...sucked out all but a few stray molecules of air. The U. S. Coast &; Geodetic Survey measured the tube to within .063 of an inch. Then Dr. Michelson measured it. At one end of the tube was a 32-sided mirror which could be spun as fast as a bacteriologist's centrifuge. Light from this end raced down the tube, back from a reflector at the other end. The mirror was turned just fast enough for succeeding facets to catch the returning light, send it on repeated journeys down the tube and back. The essential calculation was simple, involved...
Raymond Alexander Kelser, Army Medical School bacteriologist, reported recently in Science that the yellow fever mosquito apparently transmits human sleeping sickness to rabbits. Last week his associate, Dr. James Stevens Simmons was in St. Louis with yellow fever mosquitoes and monkeys to try to find out how St. Louis' sleeping sickness epidemic spreads. Impatient with the slowness of animal experiment three volunteers, heroic but anonymous, let themselves be bitten by mosquitoes which had bitten encephalitis victims. As unpredictable as their infection by the bites is their recovery...
Hail to able Pathologist & Bacteriologist Charles Warren Duval and to others who grew organisms from leprous tissues. Nonetheless, there has been valid doubt that they isolated and actually reproduced the leprosy bacillus which very closely resembles the tuberculosis bacillus...
