...first 171 who had the vaccine injected just under the skin, 83% developed a fever that usually lasted less than three days. It was lower than the fever of ordinary measles, with a mean of 102.4° (rectal). About half the children developed a rash. Again it was milder than that of natural measles, and only 16% of the children ever got the severe spotting inside the mouth that characterizes the typical disease...
...Heat Cramps. The acute form of salt depletion, marked by fatigue, dizziness, headache and muscle pain, leading to cramps from contraction of the belly muscles. The remedy: salt (given intravenously if the patient cannot swallow enough). The milder and more insidious chronic salt depletion shows the same signs, but sometimes in such vague form as to be mistaken for malingering or hypochondria. Salt tablets (but only for those who really sweat excessively) will prevent or cure...

Other amateurs play in abandoned bomb shelters or in the "jazz-houses...

According to Paar, even NBC President Robert...
...mystery agent-merely the familiar Asian strain. But the ill-health picture in the area was complicated by other factors: the semiannual epidemic of "Spencer's disease," as local doctors like to call unexplained outbreaks of nausea, vomiting and diarrhea, and a second type of upper respiratory illness, milder than flu, presumably caused by a virus of a different family. One or another of Los Angeles' varied plagues knocked out such widely assorted performers as Alfred Hitchcock, Lilli Palmer, Debbie Reynolds and Marilyn Monroe...
