Last week in the Journal of the American Medical Association the young researchers announced excellent results with a combination of 10% carbon dioxide and 90% oxygen, administered through an ordinary ether mask. Not for plain disagreeable drunks is their treatment, emphasized the doctors, but only for desperate drunks with slow, jerky breath, faint pulse, dilated pupils, cold bluish skin...
...Allegheny and Ascoloy Metals," chromium nickel stainless steel alloys. ¶ In the year ended Oct. 31, 1935, U. S. railroads abandoned only 1,692 miles of track. They abandoned 2,514 miles in 1934. New trackage came to 88 miles in 1935; to 70 miles in 1934. ¶ United Carbon Co. opened three new carbon black plants, had two more under construction, planned to increase carbon black capacity from 385,000 lb. a day to 485,000 lb. a day. Carbon black is produced by burning a "sour" natural gas that is no good for lighting or heating. Tiremakers take...
...devise a special stopcock-sealing grease that boron trifluoride would not attack, a system of magnetically controlled rods for stirring his mixtures in closed vessels. Every time he generated the trifluoride he washed the maze of tubes, flasks and stills 20 times with air which had been freed of carbon dioxide. Argon 99.9+% was repeatedly distilled for further purification and the boron trifluoride was cleaned until it showed pure in the spectroscope...
...anesthetist and surgeon take precautions, four out of five patients who undergo abdominal operations suffer partial collapse, wrote Dr. Henderson. Their respiration is shallow, their pulse rapid. In most cases this can be prevented if the surgeon "traumatizes as little as possible" and if the patient whiffs at carbon dioxide off & on for three or four hours after the operation. The carbon dioxide stimulates the lungs to breathe deeply, thus raises the body's general tone...
...metaphosphate story was narrated to the 50 sightseers last week by the Melon Institute's Director Edward Ray Weidlem, 48, co-author of Science in Action, who next week will receive the Chemical Industry Medal for 1935. They saw samples of Columbian Carbon Co's carbon black for lacquers, which, ground to particles .000001 centimetre in diameter, is so black that it makes other blacks look brown. If any of them had neglected to shave before breakfast, he could have accepted the free-shave offer of the research man for Schick Dry Shaver, Inc who shaves twelve...
