...review of more than 2,000 research studies made in the past three years, the report repeats that cigarette tars can cause lung cancer; it depressingly documents further evidence that the weed can bring on peptic ulcers, aortic aneurysm, cancer of the larynx, mouth, pharynx, esophagus and bladder. A two-pack-a-day smoker aged 55 to 64, says the report, has 34 times more chance of dying of lung cancer than a nonsmoker. But an equally grave danger may be coronary heart disease caused by the massive doses of nicotine and carbon monoxide in cigarettes...

They run their, lives not by push-cards, but by a series of such disorderly urges as lust, the desire to kill, hunger, and pressure on the bladder.

At later stages of treatment, or if the patient moves away and is treated by another doctor, the color videotape record will recall accurately and precisely what the original condition...
Color TV inside the body has been tried for examining the stomach, but the advantages over conventional gastroscopy are not so great as in the less accessible bladder. While moderate bleeding from the bladder wall, or the churning of heavy urinary sediment, may obscure the TV cystoscope's view, this blurring is usually only temporary. The pictures generally are clear and sharp-and in remarkably true color...
