This week every man jack among its woodworkers began submitting stool specimens for laboratory analysis: as many as 9,000 may be needed over a period of six months. Only then will it be known which workers are clear of amoebae. For the estimated 700 who will get positive reports, there will be immediate free treatment with fumagillin or terramycin. At full...
