California's Union Oil Co. joined the chorus with a motor oil called "New Triton," which is long-wearing, noncorrosive, sludge-free...
...Carbon-13, a rare-as-radium substance that can now be produced in quantities, may shed new light on the mysteries of human metabolism. It may also provide clues to the cause & cure of cancer, diabetes, hardening of the arteries, other metabolic diseases. It is like ordinary carbon but has a greater atomic weight. Absorbed into the system, C13 can be easily identified by its added weight, and precisely traced-with an electrical instrument-through the entire process of metabolism. Doctors may thus learn how food and drugs behave when they meet disease germs, or cancer, inside the body...
