Drugs were used in successful treatment of 46 insane persons by Drs. H. Beckett Lang and John A. Pater son of Willard State Hospital, Willard. N. Y. Theirs was the first practical application of a recent Cornell University discovery that insanity is due partly to the colloids of the brain becoming too watery or too coagulated-like thick syrup. For watery colloids sodium amytal was given, for syrupy colloids sodium rhodanate...
...despite its professed informality, were Mr. & Mrs. John Davison Rockefeller Jr., Dr. Simon Flexner of the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research, Dr. William Henry Welch of Johns Hopkins, and five dozen other notables. Mr. Rockefeller, at ease among intimate friends, recalled what a young man (27) he was when Drs. Smith, Flexner, Welch and others organized the Rockefeller Institute. Dr. Welch saluted Mrs. Smith, Mrs. Rockefeller, and other ladies present, with an old bachelor's old quip, forebore retelling his more jovial stories...
...virus into the monkeys. Some of the monkeys had passing attacks of paralysis, others did not catch it at all. But all of them grew up suddenly, acquired the sex maturity of three-year-old monkeys. Those not treated with pituitary hormones usually developed paralysis from the virus, died. Drs. Jungeblut & Engle concluded that pituitary hormones, not immunity through exposure (the general theory), enable most adults to resist infantile paralysis...
Last week, at the end of the infantile paralysis season, three Stanford University men announced that they had isolated and measured an organism which they were certain caused infantile paralysis. The organism measures less than one-half millionth of an inch. The investigators- Drs. Charles Eglof Clifton, Edwin William Schultz and Louis Philipp Gebhardt-figured the size by filtering material from a case of infantile paralysis through the pores of unglazed, fine porcelain. They knew the size of the pores. The filtrate caused the active disease in monkeys. That confirmed the doctors' belief that they possessed the cause...
Other men have worked with the same hormone?Professor Julius Moses Rogoff of Western Reserve University; Dr. Wilbur Willis Swingle & Joseph John Pfiffner of Princeton, Long Island Biological Laboratories, Parke, Davis & Co. and indirectly Mayo Clinic (TIME, June 22); Drs. Walter Bernard Coffey & John Davis Humber of San Francisco and the Southern Pacific (TIME, Feb. 24, 1930 et seq.). But Professors Rogoff & Hartman, first discoverers of the hormone, have less wealth and facilities at their disposal than the rest. Scientists know of their work, but their reputation has not been widespread. Last fortnight Professor Hartman had opportunity to describe...
