Down four pounds to his West Point weight of 172, Ike was impatient to get going. Reporters asked Dr. Paul Dudley White when Ike would be in a position to decide his political future. Not until January at least, said White. Even more cautious was Ike's personal doctor, Major General Howard Snyder (who lost 6 Ibs. during Ike's illness). "I kind of think a bit longer," said he, "bit longer." For the rest of his last week in Denver, however, Ike began presidential duties in earnest. He received a stream of reports on the Geneva conference...
...ramshackle native location in South Africa's province of Natal, a twelve-year-old girl lay ill for months subject to fits and spells of moroseness. Neither a doctor's drugs nor a witch doctor's charms did any good. Little Mavis Sithebe seemed to lose the will to live, took almost no food or drink for two weeks, was in a coma most of the time.

When he began to speak, probably no more than 10% of them were wholeheartedly for him. But Billy...
...antibiotic-perhaps any drug used to kill bacteria-might cause this disorder said Dr. Weiss, but most often to blame are the "broad-spectrum" antibiotics such as aureomycin, terramycin, Chloromycetin. The doctor may be using these wisely against an infection for which they are known to be effective, or unwisely against virus" diseases in which they are not likely to be of any use. Either way the antibiotics kill off many of the bacteria normally found in a healthy intestinal tract. In so doing, they disturb the balance of nature and leave the depopulated gut as a breeding ground...
