...keen-witted, clear-skinned, sound as a nut. His "ideal" old age is probably due less to good family history, sensible diet and abstinence from alcohol and tobacco than to the fact that Seth Lincoln has never experienced deep sorrow or financial distress, never worries about anything.-Drs. Francis G. Benedict of Carnegie Institution and Howard Frank Root of New England Deaconess Hospital...
...whose removal from living cells seems to explain anesthesia. When certain water plants are soaked in distilled water their cells become unable to transmit stimuli, apparently because "R" is dissolved out. So the effect of everyday medicinal anesthetics may be due to a removal of "R" from human cells.-Drs. J. V. Osterhout and S. E. Hill of the Rockefeller Institute...
Before they could reach that conclusion even with the powerful wave mathematics developed by Germany's Erwin Schrodinger, Drs. George Braxton Pegram, John R. Dunning and Isidor Isaac Rabi had to lead their particles like circus animals through a complex series of hoops & hurdles. Beryllium powder was placed in a glass tube containing the radioactive gas radon. Alpha particles from the radon knocked neutrons out of the beryllium. First hurdle was a metal ring which deflected part of the neutron beam toward a cylindrical detection chamber less than an inch across, a half-inch deep. The chamber...
Ketones. Infections of the kidney and bladder tract are hard for doctors to treat. Drs. Arnold E. Osterberg and Henry F. Helmholz of the Mayo Clinic reported experiments showing that ketonic bodies in the blood, such as acetone, diacetic acid and beta-oxybutyric acid, will cure such infections if generated in sufficient quantities. Best diet for stimulating ketone production is high in fat, low in proteins and sugar. Ideal fat-protein-sugar proportion...
...Manhattan, day Banker Kahn died, the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology heard Boston's Drs. Herrmann Ludwig Blumgart and David Daniel Berlin tell how they had effected ''striking relief" from angina. A thyroid gland secretion regulates the rate at which the body converts food and oxygen into energy (metabolism). Drs. Blumgart and Berlin cut the thyroid gland from 20 angina patients, thus slowing down the rate of metabolism. Functioning normally at a lower level, the heart was not balked when called on for extra work. Not one of the 20 patients has since been wracked...
