...partner who is getting it done. (Shy, cool Partner Cohen jaunted to Europe last week.) Putting inde-goddam-pendent journalists up to playing his game is one of his methods. The journalistic team of Drew Pearson & Robert S. Allen are Tom Corcoran's natural mouthpieces; his temperature and blood pressure are accurately reflected in what they have to say to their syndicate readers daily. This is not just because Allen is the Neanderthal type of Liberal and Pearson the parlor mauve type-a perfect team-but because their mental agility matches Corcoran's, and in dull Washington they...
...convention of the Society of American Bacteriologists in San Francisco. For 38-year-old Dr. Walther Frederick Goebel of the Rockefeller Institute Hospital announced that he had produced artificially a successful pneumonia antigen. (An antigen is a substance which stimulates the organism to produce antibodies ; a serum is a blood constituent in which antibodies have already been produced.) The Goebel antigen is a combination of egg white and an acid obtained by complicated treatment of cellulose products (such as sawdust, straw or wood fibres) with water...
...backyard. They had been struck with the blight, he said, but he had saved them with his new tannic acid treatment. Method of treatment is simple: on the theories currently held by tree experts, that: 1) the tannic acid of tree-sap is as actively disease-resistant as human blood; and 2) the circulatory system of a tree will by suction pressure carry medicine to diseased organs just as effectively as does the bloodstream, Tree Man John Casterline attached a rubber hose to the taproot (main root) of a chestnut tree, planted the other end in a gallon of tannic...
...good hearty meal of corned beef, cabbage and boiled potatoes is not only a pleasure to the palate but a pretty pill, for the vegetables are rich in Vitamin C. But not everyone who tucks into this dish is assured of firm joints and healthy blood capillaries, for Vitamin C is a delicate thing, easily destroyed by combination with oxygen or improper cooking. Last week in Nature, Physiologists A. Høygaard and H. Waage Rasmussen of the University of Oslo, Norway reported the results of extensive potato-boiling. They found "16-19% more ascorbic acid [Vitamin C] left when...
...blood that runs in the veins of the Bourbons is blue-and once let, it runs and runs. Not simply royal memories but an old, hereditary fact accompanies this family in its exile: hemophilia. Unlike thrones, hemophilia is not transmitted from father to son, but from mother to son. Contrary to popular belief, hemophiliacs do not bleed incessantly, but the flow of blood, once started, takes a longer time to coagulate. Most of the recent treatment depends on the, theory that the elements of hemophilia are present in the female, but are held in check by some female "essence." Injections...
