This inventive work goes on at the Uni-versity of Virginia, under direction of Professor Lyndon Frederick Small, organic chemist. By last week he had produced more than 200 variations of morphine and sent them to his research-partner at the University of Michigan, Professor Nathan Browne Eddy, pharmacologist. Dr. Eddy tries the substitute drugs on rats, dogs and monkeys. He has found that several morphine substitutes invented by Dr. Small and others are better than morphine because they cause less vomiting and constipation, depress respiration less than does morphine. But "whether any of the substances possess addicting properties...
Last week Professor Paul John Hanzlik, a San Francisco pharmacologist who has long tried to dissolve bismuth in some fluid which syphilitics may swallow, announced success. His success implied a more comfortable method of treating the estimated 508,000 new cases of this venereal disease which develop in the U. S. each year...
Johns Hopkins' Pharmacologist John Jacob Abel, 75, assumed the A. A. A. S. presidency, succeeding Columbia's Anthropologist Franz Boas, 74. For 1934 president the Association chose Princeton's Astronomer Henry Norris Russell, 55, after he had presented his interpretation of starlight. The light might be the effect of 1) hydrogen and the lighter elements synthesizing into heavier elements, or 2) heavy star material burning to nothing. Professor Russell prefers the synthesis theory, for burning "would not happen except at temperatures of many billions of degrees," whereas "heat should be produced [by atomic synthesis] fast enough...
...Rolla Eugene Dyer, discoverer of the cause of typhus fever in the U. S. (TIME, Nov. 7); tick-bitten Dr. Roscoe Roy ("Spenny") Spencer, who invented a new kind of vaccine (macerated insects which carry the virus of disease) and tried it out first on himself; Dr. Carl Voegtlin, pharmacologist, who has accumulated so many facts about the chemistry of cell growth that last week he dared to hint that just around the biological corner lie chemical cures for cancers...
...retired at last week's meeting. His 1932 successor, Professor Franz Boas, 73, Columbia anthropologist, was too ill to travel from Manhattan to New Orleans to assume office. In his absence the A. A. A. S. chose his successor for 1933?Dr. John Jacob Abel, 74, Johns Hopkins' great pharmacologist, the crystallizer of insulin (hormone which controls diabetes) and synthesizer of epinephrine (hormone which regulates blood pressure). He is the first pharmacologist president in the A. A. A. S.'s 83 years...
