...that the wart count among some schoolchildren declined dramatically after doctors painted the growths with a bright vegetable dye. Dr. Goldman has tried an even more mystical method. He asks suggestible children to send him a detailed tracing of the wart-covered hand or foot. Then he burns the diagram and tells the youngsters that their warts will disappear in a few weeks. They usually...
Almost all nutrients enter the system by absorption through the walls of the small intestine, which had been removed and replaced by an emergency short circuit from the patient's duodenum to the remainder of her colon (see diagram). The only recourse was intravenous feeding, which is rarely satisfactory for more than a few weeks, even in a hospital. And Jane Smith (not her real name), 37, was eager to go home to her two young children...
...suffer from some degree of hearing loss. Many are older people whose deafness is caused by progressive nerve damage, which can often be corrected by artificial hearing aids. But a significant number are younger people whose impairment is triggered by disease or injury to the tympanum and ossicles (see diagram), the eardrum and tiny vibrating bones that transmit sound waves to the inner...
...keep the ball from going into its spin-even if it is imperfectly hit. His proposed club would do just that. Its secret: an array of tiny retractable blades jutting out from the club's metal face and imbedded in a soft elastic material (see diagram). Whenever the club made contact with the ball, some of the blades would retract, forming a small, temporary pocket. The pocket, in effect, would grip the ball and reduce its tendency to spin-regardless of the angle at which the golfer whacked...
...only ones working on such a train. In a similar design proposed by Stanford Research Institute at Menlo Park, Calif., the mag-net:c train rides on a concrete pathway about twelve feet wide. Ordinary rails have been replaced by two L-shaped aluminum guide strips (see diagram). As the train's speed increases, the magnets on the underside of the cars act like the moving armatures of an electrical generator, causing currents to flow in the aluminum strips. These currents, in turn, bu:ld magnetic fields of their own. Just as like poles of ordinary horseshoe magnets repel...
