...doctors have a growing list of hopeful treatments. And in some victims, at least, malignant hypertension can actually be reversed. For years Dr. Page used kidney extracts, which helped some patients, and pioneered with fever treatments which had similar moderate success. Not until the spring of 1951 was a drug found to control malignant hypertension. This was hydralazine. In quick succession came a series of hexamethonium compounds (followed by the related pentolinium) and more recently reserpine...
...Thomas B. Fitzpatrick and colleagues at the University of Oregon's Medical School report that a drug called 8-methoxypsoralen (8-MOP for short), used for treatment of skin blemishes as long ago as old Egypt, also increases the skin's tanning ability. When taken in small precise doses during carefully timed exposure, 8-MOP will permit users to get a tan without going through a painful burning stage.

The court rejected the local firm's contention that it had discovered a new type of aureomycin in mud and that it should be allowed to continue production for "special reasons," i.e., nationalism...
Should dope addicts get their dope free, from the Government? This course was suggested, as a way to kill the illegal drug traffic by extracting its profit motive, at hearings held in Manhattan last week by Texas Senator Price Daniel's Narcotics Subcommittee. The proposal split the experts-doctors and law enforcers-right down the middle. After the hearings they were farther apart than ever before. About all they had been able to agree on were the basic facts: ¶ Addiction is a growing, not a receding problem, 40 years after the Harrison Act made the peddling of narcotics...
