Last year an improved extract was made from the urine of pregnant mares. In capsule form it can be taken orally. In a recent Harper Hospital Bulletin, Dr. Sandweiss reported that he began testing equine anthelone on 50 patients nine months ago.

Vladimir Krajina, a refugee Czech now living in London, had filed a libel suit against Tass for charging in a news bulletin distributed to London newspapers that he had betrayed British paratroopers to the Gestapo.
