...disease produces high fever, delirium, and painfully swollen lymph glands form dark discolorations called buboes; death follows massive internal bleeding. People infected with the most virulent, pneumonic form can infect others by sneezing. The villain is a bacillus, Pasteurella pestis, which thrives in rats, the fleas that bite them, and humans exposed to either pest. Destroying fleas and keeping rats from migrating curb the plague, but Viet Nam's fleas have grown more resistant to available insecticides; and, for example, there are only four quarantine inspectors to see that busy harbor ships keep a constant guard against invading rats...

In its efforts to get rid of this plug, the body starts the inflammatory process, causing a pimple.

Once the "dependent edema" caused by tight panty girdles has been diagnosed, the prescription for cure is simple and straightforward: throw away the girdle...

Dr. Brunschwig's most extreme case was a woman who lost many internal organs, including the left kidney, plus all related lymph nodes, along with her left leg and hind quarter. Eight years later she is living happily and doing all her own housework...
