Even so, Dr. Elliott Joslin of Harvard, probably the No. 1 U.S. diabetes expert, and Statistician Louis Dublin of Metropolitan Life Insurance Co. warn that the rise in diabetic death is real. For insulin neither cures nor prevents diabetes. It has saved the lives of most diabetics under 45, prolonged the lives of those over 45. But insulin, observes Dublin, does not confer immortality. Sooner or later diabetes becomes complicated with other diseases like pneumonia, cancer, hardening of the arteries, etc. Diabetics are especially susceptible to gangrene (the tiniest infections are dangerous) since their blood vessels are often blocked with...
According to Harvard's Dr. Elliott Proctor Joslin, at least 2,500,000 people in the U.S. have or will have diabetes before they die. According to Toronto's Dr. Charles Herbert Best, co-discoverer of insulin, most of these people may be able to stall off the disease or smother it in the early stages if they take proper measures. Last fortnight both men, greatest diabetes authorities in the world, met in the New York Academy of Medicine, told doctors how to hold down the rising diabetes rate.* Significant facts...

But Dr. Reginald Fitz, a colleague of Dr. Joslin, urges potential diabetes victims to lead a normal life, marry whom they please. The disease may not appear till middle life, and once it begins, it can be controlled with insulin...
...Chiropody is most useful in caring for the feet of patients with advanced diabetes, who, because of poor circulation, are liable to foot infections, even gangrene.

For valuable pioneering the convention last week made him an honorary member...
...swindle was minor compared to some he has heard of since : an old farmer in Georgia who tricked experts and promoters into paying $150,000 for worthless gravel; the celebrated Mulatos salting by which an exhausted mine was sold for $1,575,000. Baragwanath's friend Joslin met a still trickier game. Inspecting a claim near Porcupine, Canada, Joslin reported that it was salted, took no samples of the rock into which the gold had obviously been pounded. Another company took such tests despite the clumsy attempt at fraud, discovered the samples averaged $25 a ton, paid cash...
