Progress on Common Cold. Professor Alphonse Raymond Dochez of Columbia University considers the common cold perhaps the most important medical problem of the temperate zone.

His parents at first wanted to take him to Sumatra to find a foster brother or sister among the orangutans. But they lacked the money. No U. S. zoo would loan them an infant ape.
