...Argonauts found bitter disappointment in California; other thousands died without ever getting there. Those who chose the long trip around Cape Horn (best time: 89 days) risked storms and shipwreck; on the land-and-water route via the Isthmus of Panama (33 to 35 days), the perils included yellow fever and cholera.

The British medical journal Lancet has reported that aureomycin "has the widest range of activity of any known antibacterial substance...
This week Lederle doctors report claims of success in treating whooping cough and tularemia (rabbit fever). Dr. Duggar is still busy at the work he loves. He has some 200 new samples of soil, is looking for still another antibiotic...
