...Alpha, Beta, Gamma rays. Dr. Harrison S. Martland, Chief Medical Examiner of Essex County found 95% of these to be Alpha rays. Most of the paint the girls swallowed was eliminated through the intestinal tract; a small but daily accumulating amount was absorbed; deposited in the bones, spleen, liver. While the girls worked, played, slept, the paint shot out its rays. Alpha rays cannot travel very far. In the bones they do not need to. The centre of bone, as everyone knows, is marrow; in this marrow are bloodmaking elements. At first the rays stimulated the blood forming centres...
...Liver Oil & Ergosterol. In cod-liver oil, is a substance which contains Vitamin D and which helps both to prevent and cure rickets (bone disease). That substance (provitamin) acts like a solid alcohol (sterol) and is believed to be ergosterol. If ergosterol is exposed to certain wave lengths of ultraviolet light for certain periods the potency of this provitamin is increased so powerfully that, for treating rickets, one ounce of it is as good as six tons of cod-liver oil.-Dr. Alfred Fabian Hess of Manhattan...
Lean beef, fat beef, beef tongue, liver, brain, marrow: that is what two men ate and it is all they ate: for 21 days, Vilhjalmur Stefansson, famed Arctic explorer; for 57 days, his friend and erstwhile companion, Karsten Anderson, whose present business is orange growing. Last week, the trial done, Dr. Stefansson went straight to Fairfield, Conn., where after a dinner of beef tongue by choice, he testimonialed: "Before the experiment I felt lackadaisical on getting up in the morning but now I feel like jumping out of bed and getting right to work...
Much stress has been laid by the press on the fact that Stefansson and Anderson did not develop scurvy. There was no reason why they should develop scurvy, beri beri, or chilblains. All three vitamins, A, B and C, are present in small amounts in fresh lean meat; liver contains more of them. Other foodstuffs contain even more, it is true, but if the men were allowed all they wanted to eat, they would get enough of the essential vitamins in the beef products to satisfy. The real interest in such an experiment lies in the effect of a meat...
...normal gall bladder to contract and thus empty its contents into the intestinal tract where they are needed to help the body properly assimilate its food. If the gall bladder-a bulbous sack 3 in. long by 1 in. to 1¼ in. in diameter connected with the liver, spleen & pancreas-does not empty its own secretions, not only is food absorption distorted, but gallstones and jaundice are apt to result. By having such secretion available as medicine for their patients (the Northwestern men last week continued their efforts to obtain it in pure & therapeutic form), doctors will be enabled...
