...noticed that when some cells were injured by radiation, the life processes of uninjured cells were stimulated. The Cincinnati researchers radiated some yeast cells long enough to kill them all, then took the fluid containing the cell corpses, centrifuged and filtered it, added it to a suspension of normal cells. The "respiration" (oxygen intake) of these was observed to increase by 10%. It appeared that before they died the damaged cells secreted stimulating fluids which Dr. Sperti now calls "intercellular hormones...
...general phenomenon associated with cell injury. Since one effect of the hormone was to multiply cells rapidly, it seemed possible that unknown hormones of the same type might be the cause of the unhealthy cell proliferation which constitutes cancer. But since the fluid from radiated yeast brought about normal, not abnormal cell proliferation, the prospect arose of using it to heal human hurts...
...Cincinnati's St. Mary Hospital for the past year the fluid has been used to treat burns. To the American Association for the Advancement of Science at Indianapolis last week Dr. Sperti declared that the. results have been remarkable. Ugly burns have healed quickly, with smooth, normal skin over the burned area instead of puckered scar tissue...
...long as trouble is abroad in the world in its present proportions, the incidence of all kinds of illness will remain high.

These problems may interfere with normal intellectual progress, with development of sound social reactions, and defeat a man's capacity to determine even the choice of a career...
...Patterson's "normal airway width" apparently does not coincide with the Department of Commerce airway width of 50 mi. Thus Hayden's Peak (12.473 ft.), near which United's "Mainliner" crashed in October, approximately 24 mi!es south of the centre of United's transcontinental lane, is evidently not considered on United':; regular right...
