...children who have an appalling condition called juvenile laryngeal papillomatosis. In this disease, noncancerous, wartlike growths cover the vocal cords of the victim, sometimes filling up the entire larynx so that the child can barely breathe. The only treatment has been to cut them out, but they tend to recur quickly, requiring new surgery; one of Strander's patients had had 400 operations. Here too IF worked, though it was unclear whether its antiviral or antigrowth action was responsible. It diminished the growths in four cases and completely eliminated them in three.

Then the panic was spawned by the Federal Reserve's attempt to nip speculation by raising the discount rate a full percentage point from 5% to 6%. The nation's banks in 1929 had built up a pyramid of foreign debt. National City Bank judged that Peru had a "bad debt record, adverse moral and political risk, bad internal debt situation"-and then lent...
