...This evening I borrowed (or stole, as you will) from the Corbett Clinic, 1380 W. Lake St., syringe, needle and MS [morphine sulphate] bottle (20 cc) containing about 8-10 cc of MS ¼ per cc, the latter coming from an adequately guarded locker, so that my possession of same should not reflect on the clinic, where I have taken temporary employment...
...Milligrams Is Plenty. The all-important L of the formula (for blood-alcohol level) stands for the number of milligrams of alcohol in every 100 cc of a drinkers blood; W is the body weight in pounds; A is the intake of pure alcohol in ounces, and T (for time) is the number of hours from the onset of drinking...
...each drink, his A is 2. He multiplies this by 7,000; he divides the resulting 14,000 by 150 for his weight in pounds, and gets 93. He has been drinking for three hours, so he subtracts 39. Ergo, he has 54 milligrams of alcohol in 100 cc of blood...
Supply & Demand, The worst drawbacks, however, have nothing to do with G.G. itself. They are matters of supply & demand. It takes almost a pint of blood to make an average shot of G.G. (7 cc). To give protection for a single polio season to all the 41 million U.S. children under 15 might take 100 million shots or more, and there simply is not that much gamma globulin available, nor the blood or plasma to extract it from...

At 25, the average shows a sharp drop, to 15 cc. And by age 35, it is down to 10 cc. But there are enormous variations between seemingly healthy people, e.g., a well-preserved specimen of 60 may have the same blood flow as a debilitated stripling of 20. And so, Dr. Jones reasons, he might be a better employment risk than many of his juniors. One possible...
