...consequently, elimination of waste. Capt. Frank Monroe Hawks tried the Moto-Vita on a flight to Memphis, informally reported a fuel saving between 30% and 40%. While Dr. Hutchison's motive was to help airmen, his invention may have the far more momentous effect of overcoming the carbon monoxide (CO) evil in motor car traffic. His Moto-Vita, which can be car traffic. His Moto-Vita, which is a bridge of platinum and nickel wires (weight i½ Ib.) over which the exhaust gases pass. This bridge is electrically connected, through a tiny battery, to a sensitive ammeter...
...mixture of carbon dioxide and oxygen which often will resuscitate persons shocked by electricity, may also be helpful to pneumonia patients, announced New York Edison System Electric Light Co. last week. Dr. John Jay Wittmer, the company's medical chief, used the mixture (7% carbon dioxide, 93% oxygen) on 127 pneumonia cases. Of these 42 were definitely beyond recovery. Of the remaining 85, 70 were cured, 15 died. This relative success, thought the company, warranted informing the medical profession, which might experiment more widely...
...pneumonia, exudates (blood, pus, serum, germs) accumulate in the minute air chambers of the lungs. The lungs lose their sponginess, resemble the liver. In addition, areas of these air cells become devitalized, collapse. All this prevents an adequate amount of oxygen getting into the blood, and waste carbon dioxide and toxins escaping from the blood. The lungs labor to breathe until they and the poisoned heart become exhausted...
...normal breathing, carbon dioxide taken into the lungs from the blood helps (via the brain) to stimulate the lungs to expand and contract. Based on this physiological fact is the principle of giving cases of electrical shock, and now (experimentally) pneumonia cases, a little lung-stimulating carbon dioxide with the excess of pure oxygen for the blood...
