Sugar for Diabetics. U. S. chemistry's greatest individual benefactor, Francis Patrick Garvan, has a progressively severe case of diabetes. Insulin is maintaining him in fragile health. Last week from Buffalo he received news which may help him and other diabetics. Dr. Israel Mordecai Rabinowitch of the Montreal General Hospital has traced the damages of diabetes to an enzyme in the blood. An enzyme is a digester. Dr. Rabinowitch's enzyme apparently destroys the insulin which the patient's pancreas manufactures itself or which the patient takes as medicine. Infections, like colds, stimulate the increase of this insulin-destroying enzyme...

Dr. Francis Carter Wood, 61, the ruddy, learned director of the Crocker Institute of Cancer Research, editor of the new American Journal of Cancer (TIME, Jan. 12) was also present. Dr. Wood is one of his country's greatest experimenters in cancer. Francis Patrick Garvan and his Chemical Foundation act upon everything that Dr. Wood says regarding cancer. He said last week that there was no established merit in the Coffey-Humber extract; better leave it alone...

...years ago there was privately printed a little booklet entitled: The Rape of the Bosch Magneto Co.

Government of some $5,535,000 in the Bosch deal...
...omission of the word "magneto," since the Bosch activities are constantly widening. Instead of competition, complete harmony will reign over the relationship between Robert Bosch A. G. and United American Bosch, each acting as a sales outlet for the other, each cooperating 'in research. What thinks Germanophobe Garvan, who stoutly protested the formation of American I. G. Chemical Corp. (TIME, Feb. 10), of this second U. S.-German alliance, has not been recorded...
