...overwork and "feeling much below par," Clare Boothe Luce, 53, U.S. Ambassador to Italy, flew home last week for a checkup at Manhattan's Doctors Hospital. Said her physician: "Mrs. Luce is suffering from a chronic enteritis, which appears to be related to an infection of the liver which she had while abroad. She has, as well, a moderately severe iron-deficiency anemia, probably due to the same cause. She received one transfusion . . . and will require others. I have advised the ambassador not to return to her post for about two months. At that time I would anticipate complete...
...work when the animal (or human) is faced by physical or mental stress. Also named the "ACTH-hypophysiotropic hormone," it can be injected to give the same results as a shot of ACTH, e.g., in rheumatoid arthritis, by a more natural method. ¶ A series of changes in liver function shortly before and after birth enables the newborn mammal (whether human or rat makes no difference) to withstand the shock of emergence into the world, said a team of Boston biochemists headed by Harvard's Dr. Claude A. Villee. A few days before birth the liver builds...
...Montgomery tried instead to build up a lovable Mr. Chips. He failed, largely because the camera never showed anything but the back of Einstein's head and because the human-interest anecdotes (Einstein flusters a colleague's wife by telling her how to cook calf's liver; Einstein flusters the parents of a little girl by doing her arithmetic homework) were played at tedious length.

...should because for this purpose it needs insulin, produced in the pancreas. In the diabetic, the pancreas may not produce enough insulin. Or, according to Pittsburgh University's Dr. I. Arthur Mirsky, it may produce enough, only to have it destroyed by insulinase, an enzyme made by the liver. Injections of insulin, which have prolonged and saved countless lives for 33 years, simply supply outside insulin. A more logical treatment, Dr. Mirsky thinks, would be to block the insulinase. Both the new drugs-close kin to the sulfa drugs-work by poisoning the insulinase...
