Through this tube the experimenters introduced garlic soup. Three hours later the patient's breath began to smell, continued to do so for twelve hours. In this case the pungent food was never...
Another subject could eat normally, but his respiratory tract had been disconnected from his throat because of laryngeal cancer.

Three hours after he ate salad garnished with onion and garlic, the air exhaled through the tube became malodorous. In this instance the breath had no contact with the mouth, throat, esophagus or stomach, must therefore have picked up the contamination in the lungs. Unwilling to trust their own sense of smell entirely, Drs. Blankenhorn & Richards called in technicians, hospital internes and residents...
Just as rats make excellent laboratory animals for nutrition research, mice for cancer and monkeys for poliomyelitis, so ferrets are invaluable to influenza investigators.

But many doctors think it probable that some infectious agencies change their form in different environments. The question remained: While human influenza could be communicated to ferrets, could ferret influenza be communicated...
Last week one of Dr. Warthin's associates, Professor Carl Vernon Weller, and one of his young graduates, Dr. Isador Jerome Hauser, published a third analysis of the G family which, now in its sixth Michigan generation, numbers 305 living and dead.
