...infants in each. For the control group, nothing special was done. In the experimental group, the mothers were given job training and taught homemaking and baby care. Their babies, beginning at three months of age, were picked up every morning and taken to the university. There, "infant stimulation teachers" fed, bathed and taught them until...
...practical missionary work in earnest. "The Bible says we should comfort one another," she says, "but you can't comfort the hungry without food, or the naked without clothing or the sick without medical care." She will soon open a free clinic staffed by eight volunteer doctors and fed by a medicinal lifeline from McKesson & Robbins drug company. She herself lives more humbly than one would suppose.

...safety of hexachlorophene has been in dispute for some time. The chemical has been blamed for brain seizures in young burn victims who have been washed with it, and for skin irritations in women who use feminine deodorant sprays. In addition, researchers reported earlier this year that rats fed on hexachlorophene suffered brain damage and paralysis. Others observed that hexachlorophene could be absorbed through the skin and that some babies who were washed regularly with it developed concentrations of the chemical...
