...gullies," and on street after street, vendors of rotting food still hawk their fly-infested wares. In the teeming bus tees (slums), where people drink out of the same slimy ponds they wash in, the disease spreads relentlessly from hut to hut, bringing with it its agonizing retching and diarrhea. In one week alone nearly 1,000 people died-yet India's government continues to be too little and too late with help. Said one bitter physician after ten hours with his vomiting patients: "We don't mind hard work if it is worthwhile. But after a time...

In animal experiments, scientists found that such synthetics have dubious effects, including diarrhea and kidney stones...
...Staph," as medical men nickname the germs, cause the commonest and most minor bacterial infections-but also the most dangerous. They are found in boils and in the pus of infected wounds. They may cause pus-filled blisters all over the body of the newborn, and fast-spreading diarrhea. From the eyes (conjunctivitis) they can spread to bone (osteomyelitis).

In the lungs they are a potent source of pneumonia; many of the pneumonia deaths following Asian flu are laid to staph...
...patient had been nauseated and suffering from diarrhea. At the clinic in Pasadena, Calif. Dr. Norman L. McBride took a blood sample, and analysis showed an abnormally high count of white cells.

Commonest medical complaint of the U.S. tourist is diarrhea, which may be a simple, short-lived discomfort or, in the form of amoebic dysentery, a severe, life-threatening disease. Last week, though Mexicans stoutly insist that their country is not so bad as others to the south, Mexico City's local government took a major step toward eliminating what is variously known as turista, the Aztec two-step, and Montezuma's revenge. In the capital's big, sparkling new Jamaica Market, and in a dozen smaller ones, watchful health inspectors installed a rigorous system of spraying fruits...
