He shared a Nobel Prize in 1934 for the basic discovery that simple anemia can be corrected with some meats and dried fruits, and that even pernicious anemia (previously always fatal) would yield to liver and its extracts. He has picked up many other honors - among them, having a digestive disease named...
Died.

Some doctors believe that in severe cases drugs of the cortisone type help reduce the inflammation and therefore safeguard the liver. Two weeks in bed and another of complete rest are usually enough, with good doctoring, to ensure full recovery...
