High altitude fliers and factory workers also have their uses as guinea pigs. After long study of fatigue in factory and flight, Drs. Hudson Hoagland and Gregory Pincus of the Worcester Foundation for Experimental Biology last week reported in Science that a hormone-like substance called pregnenolone greatly increases human stamina, not only in the air but at ground level. Unlike most artificial stimulants, pregnenolone apparently has no harmful after effects...
...after five years of research, J. J. Denny, Drs. Wilmot Douglas Robson and Dudley Arthur Irwin, working for Ontario's Mclntyre-Porcupine (gold) Mines, found a strange treatment which worked on guinea pigs: fine aluminum dust.

...quinine by Woodward and Doering, the separation of blood plasma into its various chemical components by Dr. Cohn, the invention of an apparatus for transferring whole blood within the battle lines by Majors Emerson and Ebert, the gathering of much evidence that cancer is caused by glandular disturbances by Drs. Lieberstein, Hill and Feiser, and a new treatment for goiter by Dr. Astwood...
Pursuing the cause of cancer, Drs. S. Lieberman, B. R. Hill, and L. F. Fieser, together with Dr. Konrad Dohriner and Col. R. P. Rhoads of Memorial Hospital, have gathered new evidence that cancer and leukemia are caused by endocrine disturbances, particularly in the adrenal gland. It is probable that glands in the cancer and leukemia patients secrete cancer-causing chemicals. A possible cure was recently reported by Dr. James B. Murphy, who stated that transplanted leukemia can be prevented from developing by injections of adrenal cortical hormones...
