A silver needle is inserted into the caudal area, just below the spinal column, where it remains throughout labor. The needle is connected with a flask of the anesthetic, two-thirds of an ounce of which is administered every 30 or 40 minutes. Longest labor during which the anesthetic has been given: 13 hours. The primary purpose of the new technique is to relieve the pain and exhaustion of the early stages of labor, when...
...startling was the news that many another scientist was politely incredulous. Antibodies, the disease-fighting substances in the blood, have been made artificially in laboratory flasks for the first time. This achievement was announced last week by Chemists Linus Pauling, Dan Campbell and David Pressman of California Institute of Technology. The three researchers made it clear that their work is still in the realm of biochemistry and that flask-prepared solutions are not yet ready to replace the serums for clinical use now developed from horses and other animals...
...their experiments, the researchers induced serum blobulin molecules 1) to "unfold" their structures by treatment with heat or alkalis in the presence of antigens, 2) then to fold up again. The researchers believe that the antigen influences the molecule to assume a modified structure in the flask, just as it would in the blood stream...
...excuses for the prolongation of the struggle. Wrote a German reporter attached to the Nazi Army: "This war is the driest of all wars. . . . Down deep with the pail-up it came with mire and mud.

Copper began to move upwards; the President said the price was being watched, and the move slackened. Few weeks ago domestic mercury sold as high as $200 a flask. So the Administration stopped issuing export licenses for domestic mercury (a strategic material) and the price fell...
