...injury to the liver that may lead to death from subsequent attacks of what otherwise would be relatively harmless diseases has been traced to fumes from certain widely used chemicals by Dr. Cecil K. Drinker, dean of the Harvard School of Public Health, and his associates...
Robert Speaight is superb as Becket, because his behaviour and appearance indicate besides the man of God, the onetime parvenu, good liver, and states man. E. Martin Browne in addition to having directed the play, fills with great understanding the roles of the last tempter and the last speakers for the murderers. The nine women who comprise the chorus, the "type of the common man," lend much added power, through their lowly dignity, their hypnotic speeches of vague forboding, and their intuitive understanding of situations that baffle the priests. Poetry and drama are masterfully blended by author and actors
Injury by heat, X-rays or mechanical means also caused the hormones to be released, and they were obtained not only from yeast cells but from liver, kidney, embryo and other tissues. Dr. Sperti therefore decided that he had come upon a general phenomenon associated with cell injury. Since one effect of the hormone was to multiply cells rapidly, it seemed possible that unknown hormones of the same type might be the cause of the unhealthy cell proliferation which constitutes cancer. But since the fluid from radiated yeast brought about normal, not abnormal cell proliferation, the prospect arose of using...
...surface of the distillate and a cold condensing surface, molecules can be separated by weight. "Dr. K. Hickman," said Dr. K. Hickman last week, ''began experiments in high-vacuum distillation in 1927. In 1931 he constructed the continuous molecular still and was able to separate from cod-liver oil a golden waxy concentrate which showed high potency of vitamins A and D. Up to this time, molecular distillation had been a scientific curiosity. It represented the ultimate in the application of vacuum...
...temperature increased, the distillation rate of each vitamin changed and each had its characteristic peak. By this means he established that different fishes manufacture different kinds of Vitamin D. Vitamin D obtained from bluefin tuna did not resemble, in distillation behavior, the vitamin from white sea bass. Cod-liver oil was found to contain two major Vitamin Ds and some minor ones, making at least four and possibly five in all. When the new stills are completed it is hoped that these will be isolated and identified...
