...diabetic patients. It was discovered by Dr. Max Kahn, associate in biological chemistry at the College of Physicians and Surgeons, Columbia University, in collaboration with Dr. Ralph H. McKee, professor of chemical engineering at Columbia. "Intarvin," meaning "intermediate fat," is so named because one molecule of it contains 17 carbon atoms instead of the 16 or 18 usual in ordinary fats. This is the first successful commercial manufacture of a fat with an odd number of carbon atoms, and is hailed as a triumph of synthetic chemistry...
Recent American experiments have approached the tuberculosis problem from the chemical rather than the bacteriological side. The calcium-carbon inhalation treatment advanced by Dr. P. Nolan, of Jeannette, Pa. (TIME, May 12), has been criticized...
