To experimenters who have long been seeking an easily available chemical which would check gastric secretion in ulcer patients, Physiologists John Stephens Gray, Elfie Wieczorowski and famed Researcher Andrew Conway Ivy of Chicago's Northwestern University brought hopeful data last week. In Science they reported that "extracts of normal male urine," injected in small amounts...
...Steinberg & Brown learned that oxalic acid is present in small quantities in normal blood.

In every case bleeding stopped within five minutes, the normal coagulating time, even though the patients had been bleeding as long as two hours.
