...prove his point, Dr. North recently demonstrated for the New York Academy of Medicine a method of reconstituting milk dehydrated by a process he has been perfecting for 25 years. Academicians agreed that his reconstituted milk is indistinguishable from fresh whole milk in appearance, taste and chemical content. The new feature of the North milk is its natural taste, the new wrinkle is separation and dehydration of the butterfat and skim milk at different temperatures...
Dehydration of fresh skim milk is done in one of two ways: 1) spraying the milk into hot air chambers; 2) drying it in thin films on heated rollers. Temperature, in the North method, must be carefully controlled. Milk heated above 159° F. picks up a cooked taste and loses some of its protein value. The dehydrated butterfat is made by centrifuging a mixture of pure butter and water at 185° F.-a temperature which destroys auto-oxidizing enzymes. Both dehydrates will keep for at least two years at any temperature if packed in sterile containers. They...
...treatment is a refinement of a method used before World War I but largely neglected since. It consists simply in spraying the burned areas with a melted mixture of paraffin wax, vaseline, cod-liver oil and sulfanilamide (plus traces of camphor, menthol and eucalyptus oil). This wax film is gently washed off the burn with warm water and renewed daily. The burn is not cleaned before spraying, although it may be dusted with sulfa powders; nor is it bandaged afterward. The patient is also given the plasma transfusions and high protein diet common to other forms of burn therapy...
...Neuwirth is also using the egg-culture method in an attempt to produce the world's first vaccine against trachoma, an infectious eye disease common throughout the Middle East; and he is trying to develop a bacteriophage ("bacteria-eater") solution to treat those already afflicted. Last month the Iranian Government gave Dr. Neuwirth its first scientific decoration...
...become medical adviser to the Government, swarms of Polish refugees from Russia were pouring into the country-unwashed, lousy, probably infected with typhus. Iranians feared an epidemic. At Teheran's Pasteur Institute, Dr. Neuwirth taught Iranian technicians to manufacture typhus vaccine by the new Cox egg-culture method.* Dr. Neuwirth vaccinated thousands of Iranians where typhus threatened, induced the Government to order compulsory vaccination of the whole army-some 200,000 soldiers. (No vaccine against typhus gives sure-fire protection, but vaccination helps...
