...Dombey and Son the Hon. Mrs. Skewton, mother of the second Mrs. Dombey, suffers from what is now known to be cerebral arteriosclerosis. Dickens accurately follows the relentless progress of the disease. First she suffered from tremor, and "the palsy played among the artificial roses [on her hat] like an almshouse full of superannuated zephyrs." After a stroke "she lay speechless and staring at the ceiling for days; sometimes making inarticulate sounds . . . giving no reply either by sign or by gesture, or in her unwinking eyes."

Last week, two Yale medical school gynecologists, John McL. Morris and Edward H. Hon, reported that they have developed a faster, economical test for which they claim virtually 100% accuracy. Their method follows the same principle as other tests, but with some significant differences: 1) they have developed a simplified technique of getting a stronger, faster-acting hormone preparation by using a chemical called kaolinalumina, which concentrates it from the urine; 2) they use a species of toad (Bufo americanus) as the test animal, because it is cheaper than other animals used and reacts quickly. Performed as early...

If her chorionic gonadotrophin level is low (below 6,000 units), a miscarriage can be expected. Testing 2,000 cases, the Yale doctors correctly predicted 83 miscarriages well in advance...
Within a few years. Hon and Morris believe, the test will become standard in U.S. clinics and hospitals...
