Fall River, Mass.: ''Young infantile paralysis victims prepared to draw lots today to determine who should be the first to receive serum which may save their lives. . . . The opening of schools has been postponed...
...World sent Flyers Floyd Bennett, who was half-sick, and Bernt Balchen flying to Greenly Island. They landed at Lake Ste. Agnes near Murray Bay, where Bennett could go no farther. A plane returned him to a hospital in Quebec where he developed a fulminating case of pneumonia. Pneumonia serum available at the Rockefeller Institute in Manhattan might save Floyd Bennett's life. Charles Augustus Lindbergh sped to the Rockefeller Institute, snatched a supply of pneumonia serum, sped to his plane, flew to Quebec. But Floyd Bennett died...
...nourish those organs, they circulated growth-activating fluids which Dr. Lillian Eloise Baker of the Rockefeller Institute supplied them, containing blood serum, insulin, thyroxine, vitamin A, vitamin C, etc. The ''lungs'' of the apparatus refreshed the "blood" with a steady injection of air composed of 40% oxygen, 3% carbon dioxide, the balance nitrogen. The whole apparatus was kept at blood heat in an incubator, was rocked so that "blood" pulsed through the organ, almost exactly as in life...
...their collaboration Drs. Carrel & Lindbergh reported: "Changes in form and volume took place in the organs from day to day. Thyroid glands perfused with diluted serum were observed to decrease in size progressively. On the contrary, ovaries or thyroids perfused with a growth-promoting medium modified their form and grew rapidly. In five days, the weight of an ovary increased from 90 mg. to 284 mg." Simultaneously yellow spots which developed on the ovaries suggested that they, while attached to the glass heart, might actually have produced eggs. If so, laboratory technicians conceivably might some day fertilize and incubate such...

The Dicks were thinking of adopting two Cradle children, which they later did, a boy and a girl. To The Cradle came Dr. Gladys to make bacterial examination of the food. Her chief discovery: that the powdered milk, the babies' chief basis for nourishment, unboilable and hence unsterilized, was carrying the germs that caused the epidemic of dysentery. It was through her report-subsequently made public...
