Reported in the U. S. last week was a new method of fattening pigs, developed and practiced in Russia. U. S. S. R. scientists discovered that drawing blood from pigs makes them fat. In experiments conducted by the Voronezh Meat Combine, 44 pigs were bled periodically and in amounts according to body weight. Thirty-two control pigs were given identical food, shelter and treatment, but no bleeding. After seven weeks the bled pigs had gained an average of 3 lb. more than the others, 30 of them were fat enough to be classed as lard pigs. Only...

...such persistent nosebleeders were Drs. Simon Back and Harry Lawrence Jaffe. Until they became internes in Manhattan's Mount Sinai Hospital they bled practically every day.

The same venom contains another converse element which toughens the walls of capillaries and blocks any such hemorrhage.* Dr. Peck isolated the antihemorrhagic substance, tried its effects on some animals, offered...

Pump and organ were inclosed within an aseptic glass tank...
