High Liver. Drs. James Howard Means (Boston), Thomas Ordway (Albany), E. H. Heath Jr. (Baltimore), reported spectacular improvements in pernicious anemia patients on liver diets. But publicity means popularity. Healthy people are stuffing themselves with liver. Canny wholesalers profiteer. Many a poor pernicious anemiac, for whom liver meant lustier living, can no longer afford to buy it. Dr. W. S. Middleton emphasized the fact that patients must keep on eating liver to prevent relapse; deplored its present high priced popularity...
...three years Drs. Felton and Rosenow at Harvard and Drs. Park and Banzhaf at the New York City Board of Health had worked to get the horse serum out of the final product. Finally they were successful. They developed a method of growing the antibodies in the horse, making the serum, then refining it until all the horse serum was removed, leaving only the helpful antibodies. The refined product is ten times as effective and has no dangerous after effects. There is only one place in Canada or the United States where this serum is prepared: the Board of Health...
There are almost as many seasick cures as there are sufferers. Last week Drs. J. Frank Pearcy and Daniel B. Hayden of the University of Chicago Medical School advocated a new one, in the American Medical Association Journal. They had been working on ears and eyes in hospital and laboratory; they noticed that lowering the normal blood pressure by means of sodium nitrite decreased the dizziness and "seasick" feeling of subjects after they had been rapidly rotated. Believing that seasickness is caused by overstimulation of the labyrinth of the ear by the constant changing motion of boats, they decided...
...Recently Drs. O. Brunns and E. Hornicke in the Münchener Medizinische Wochenschrift offered a diametrically opposed therapy. Their observations showed that people with high blood pressure rarely suffer from seasickness; that there was a drop in blood pressure at the worst point of the disease. They suggested, therefore, drugs to raise blood pressure...
...German doctor, Dr. Seyderhelm of Frankfurtam-Main, last week gave what all scientists enjoy giving and receiving- confirmation. In 1926 Drs. George Richards Minot and William Parry Murphy of the Harvard Medical School reported that cooked liver helped the body increase the number of red blood corpuscles and gradually stopped pernicious anemia. U. S. doctors tested out the liver diet to their thorough satisfaction. Dr. Seyderhelm, thorough in his fashion, used the liver treatment on 105 patients, carefully studying all their reactions. That it was entirely satisfactory was the conclusion he published at Berlin last week, in the Klinische Wochenschrift...
