...when swallowed or injected into the veins. It is also harmless to mice who have breathed it for long periods. But medical science is cautious-there was still a remote chance that glycol might accumulate harmfully in the erect human lungs which, unlike those of mice, do not drain themselves. So last June Dr. Robertson began studying the effect of glycol vapor on monkeys imported from the University of Puerto Rico's School of Tropical Medicine. So far, after many months' exposure to the vapor, the monkeys are happy and fatter than ever. Dr. Robertson does not expect...

I trephined a huge opening in his skull, opened up the dura mater, washed out a lot of shattered brains and put in a vaseline gauze drain. That night we had to move and took him along with us to a bungalow on a hill. Every time bombers came over, this patient got up and ran half a mile. After five days, during which he had no fever and was walking around everywhere-drain...
