She made an average recovery, but the infection had raged around the aortic valve, through which the heart's blood passes to the great artery for distribution to the rest of the body. As the inflammation died down, the healing valve tissues became scarred and failed to close. Instead of a one-way pulsing flow of blood, there was an unsteady flow with a backwash. For a dozen years the patient got along with rest and digitalis, but six months ago she became much worse. Anginal pain...
...predict the New Hampshire outcome. This year, in addition to reporting percentages, he is also trying to determine the issues or the qualities in a candidate which cause a voter to make up his mind. Said Roper: "We're not going to be just a fever thermometer." In Roper's poll this week, he found that only 27% are sure voters for Ike, only 23% sure for Stevenson.

...Indian doctors report great success in treating fever relapses with a single dose of inexpensive Camoquin; they have also found that later relapses are few, and spaced farther apart. U.S., British and Belgian researchers are hard at work testing yet another new drug, daraprim. A thousand times as powerful as quinine, it can be taken in tiny, tasteless doses, and newborn Negro babies in Africa show no ill effects. So far, varying results with daraprim reflect the protean nature of malaria itself...
