...mankind's enemies, the tiniest and most elusive may also be the toughest : viruses. Despite recent breakthroughs, such as development of vaccines against polio, viruses still cause an immense amount of disease. There are no cures or even effective treatments for illnesses brought on by the smaller, typical viruses. These facts were emphasized last week as the American Public Health Association convened in Atlantic City, with a generous sprinkling of foreign experts to sound the keynote, "Public Health Is One World...
...human and his physician, a major difficulty is that viruses cannot be identified by the disease they cause-many different ones may produce seemingly identical symptoms. And a single virus may touch off, in different people, symptoms ranging from a "cold," a "sore throat," or "fever" to paralytic polio. Even paralytic polio cannot be diagnosed as surely as was believed in what Dr. Schuman called "the happy, unenlightened first quarter of this century," because several viruses simulate its signs.

But because of a record second period, Republic's nine months' net was $2.69 per share v. $2.50 last year. Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co., No. 6 among the nation's steelmakers, had a third-quarter loss of $7,149,660. In the first nine months of 1959, Youngs-town's net was $6.20 per share...
Morgan Guaranty by the custom services and ingenuity in solving financial problems that have become the firm's trademark. Many businessmen agree that Morgan's service is unexcelled. It will do everything from solving the complex problem of establishing the market values of new shares-even though the companies have no established value-to working out a novel method of financing freight cars or oil tankers. After being turned down by several banks, a group of utilities that wanted to finance an atomic reactor turned to Morgan; in a few days, the bank set up the plan...
