...their pain. The exceptions: one with lung cancer, one with "phantom limb" pain after an arm amputation. Best results have been in cancers of the face and neck. The surgeons leave the electrodes in place so that the patients can go home and lead drug-free, lives, as near normal as their disease will permit.

Three years ago Dr. Williams extracted an oil from the abdomens of silkworm moths, injected it into silkworm pupae. It stopped their normal development. The pupae never became adult moths, instead developed into a second kind of pupa. Smaller doses brought forth monstrosities with mingled patches of adult and juvenile tissue. Williams concluded that the oil contained a "juvenile hormone...
