Except for the glass of his goggles he was covered with fur and leather. A machine pumped electrically-warmed oxygen into his lungs. His instruments, he' said, indicated an altitude of 41,000 feet (almost eight miles). This was higher than any man had ever been,* either by free balloon or airplane. The previous record for a free balloon was 35,433 feet; for an airplane, 40,820 feet (TIME...
Besides this influence, the Johns Hopkins students discovered, vitamin E helps the red blood cells absorb iron from foods. The iron is necessary to the red cells because it helps them carry oxygen from the lungs to all parts of the body. Scientists know that the presence of vitamin D in the body aids the bones in absorbing lime. They now begin to think that some vitamin exists to help the body assimilate each mineral essential to existence...

...each lung expands, it fills its compartment; as it contracts, it leaves a void. Tubercular lungs struggle to fill their pleural compartments; they get no opportunity to rest and heal the sores that tuberculosis germs are eating into their tissues. If one lung could cease its transference of oxygen from the air to the blood and carbon dioxide from the blood to the air, if it could get a rest, it might heal up. The operation of artificial pneumothorax does give one lung such a rest, leaving the other to breathe for both. The surgeon sticks a hollow needle into...
