...Angeles, a television and wirephoto wizard named Leroy J. Leishman (he thought up push-button radio tuning) has perfected a stereo-fluoroscope which gives a three-dimensional view of the body's interior. With the Leishman device, a surgeon can look into a wounded soldier, twiddle some knobs until he sees what he is looking for, insert a slim, sterilized needle straight to an embedded bullet or shell fragment. Later the metal can be removed cleanly without extra probing and blood loss, simply by following the needle. In fracture cases, the surgeon can watch the bones slip into place...

They are normally only a parasite of man and the bedbug. While this fact would seem suspicious, various thorough investigations have not been able to prove that the bedbug is the transmitting agent. It is believed by many that some species of biting and bloodsucking insect...

The committee contained some of the most distinguished and impartial names in England, including Lord Trevethin (former Lord Chief Justice) as Chairman, Dr. John Brownlee, Prof. Georges Dreyer, Sir William Leishman, Dr. J. H. Sequeira, Dr. Dorothy Hare and others. The report of the committee, just published, is unanimous, except for one man who early resigned, and should settle several questions which have long been acrimoniously debated, the most important being that of prophylaxis, or preventive treatment after exposure, a practice...
