...summer of 1938, Physiologist Robert Kho-seng Lim, who had served in World War I with the British Royal Army Medical Corps, left his laboratory in Peiping Union Medical College to organize the Chinese Red Cross Medical Relief Corps (to train doctors, nurses and orderlies). Driven from one town to another by the Japanese invasion, the medical workers finally settled in the hills of Kweiyang, Kweichow, in thatched huts of log and plaster. Kweiyang, more than a thousand miles southwest of Peking, is now the medical centre of Free China: there are the refugee remains of famed National Hsiangya Medical...

Friedman and colleagues of Detroit's Wayne University made a purified extract of the urine of normal, healthy women, injected it under the skin of dogs in whom they had produced peptic ulcers. In several weeks the dogs recovered. Within the last two years the scientists have tried experimental urine injections on 60 patients, with "highly encouraging results." What the healing substance is, and where it is produced, the doctors haven...
