Fresh evidence suggesting that the beat of the heart is initiated by radioactive elements in the blood was reported by Professor Charles Christian Lieb of Columbia (pharmacologist) from the researches of Dr. Hendrik Zwaardemaker, professor emeritus of physiology at the University of Utrecht, Holland. Professor Zwaardemaker took the hearts out of eels and frogs, pumped through them physiological salt solutions. The hearts beat in vitro half an hour or so, then ceased. Professor Zwaardemaker added small amounts of potassium salt to his solution. The hearts began to beat again. They continued so for 24 hours. Potassium is weakly radioactive. Other...
While five pharmaceutical associations met at Rapid City, S. Dak., last fortnight and tried to dodge the ergot controversy raised by Pharmacologist Henry Hurd Rusby and Drug-Importer Howard W. Ambruster (TIME, April 15), members were vexed to learn that Eastern newspapers had scare-headed an ordinary Federal food-&-drug seizure of 500 cans of ether in Boston, 400 in Providence, R. I. The seizures were similar to those which food-&-drug men constantly make. Ether is made from alcohol and sulphuric acid. Carelessly made it may contain harmful peroxides and aldehydes. Carefully made it may deteriorate with...
Henry Hurd Rusby, Columbia University's famed pharmacologist, had hoped that the Association would finally be induced to take up the campaign against "impure" ergot imports which he has been conducting in collaboration with Howard W. Ambruster, an independent Manhattan ergot importer (TIME, April 15, May 13). Apparently because of the commercial complications involved, the Association took no ergot action, left to the U. S. Government the enforcement of pure drug laws and standards...
...been tried on animals, found superior to Bayer 205.*Best of them all is Arsenical No. 130, in which tear gas aids and abets arsenic to destroy the trypanosomes, restoring the sufferer to normalcy. Dr. Clement C. Chesterman, who has spent years in the Belgian Congo, will cooperate with Pharmacologist Stratman-Thomas to turn the jungle into a vast clinic, inoculating thousands of infected natives and animals with the drugs. They will follow epidemics around Africa, maintaining a base at Leopoldville, Congo capital...
...continent. But more than Africa is at stake. Before the War the tsetse fly was unknown in Arabia; in recent years it has turned up there. Also strange new diseases of camels have developed in Palestine, similar to sleeping sickness; caused by trypanosomes. Finally, laymen are startled when Pharmacologist Stratman-Thomas tells them that: "In prehistoric times this fly lived in the Americas and fossils of some twenty-odd species have been found in the Colorado shales. Since the evolution of the horse can be most satisfactorily traced in the West, and since it seems there were no horses...
