Chasing a Bug. For years, researchers have been trying to isolate and assess the role of PAP viruses. In 1944, Harvard Virologist Monroe Eaton found in the sputum of some pneumonia patients an agent that caused PAP. So far, researchers have not been able to prove for sure that "Eaton Agent" is a virus. It goes through fine filters and thus seems to fall in the sub-bacterial size-range of the viruses. Like some other viruses, it can be grown in chick embryos and hamsters. Using new fluorescent techniques, researchers have traced the antibodies that are formed to fight...
Finding a Drug. The first good chance to determine how widespread Eaton Agent pneumonia is came two years ago, when Marine recruits at Parris Island. S.C., flooded into the local Navy dispensary displaying pneumonia symptoms. Since the recruits represented an easily controllable population for the purposes of study, Navy doctors, headed by Captain James R. Kingston and assisted by the National Institutes of Health, went to work. They separated PAP patients from recruits suffering from other respiratory diseases, took sputum for culturing and blood samples for testing. They found that 68% of the recruits displaying PAP symptoms were infected with...
...discovery does not help much in treating individual cases. The disease is hard to diagnose. The symptoms closely resemble those of other infections, including parrot fever and flu. Laboratory tests to establish that Eaton Agent is involved may take three weeks. By that time, a patient is well over the hump. Conceding that antibiotics should not be used indiscriminately, an A.M.A. editorial nonetheless suggests that Declomycin be given in epidemic situations where Eaton Agent is strongly suspected to be the villain...
Tying for second in the low gross competition were Livingood and George Duffy, two-time winner of the tournament, with 76; runners-up in low net were Bob Hentges and Doug Eaton, with...
...family of German financiers named Fugger began circulating a handwritten periodical throughout Middle Europe, thereby giving the gimmick a start. In 1918, when two Philadelphia journalists copied the Fugger example, they pointed the U.S.'s first commercial newsletter toward the pockets of the business community. The Whaley-Eaton American Letter is still published today, although its early success has long since been surpassed by Willard M. Kiplinger...
