...Drip-Dry Adventure. "I've made pictures with less excitement in them," huffed Goldwyn. "There we were in the middle of the ocean trying to stop boats. My wife was very disturbed.

Exchange of Fluids. For the worst cases, Dr. John E. Kiley of Albany Medical College hurried in to perform peritoneal dialyses-exchange of body fluids in the abdominal cavity. The doctor put a big hypodermic needle through the abdominal wall of each baby, and through it he dripped a sugar solution until the little bellies were slightly bloated.

The needle stayed in place, and the drip-and-drain process was repeated every four hours, round the clock. Dr.Kiley...
