Working on the experiments is Major Albert Bruce Sabin, Rockefeller Institute and University of Cincinnati researcher on poliomyelitis and other viruses. With a satchelful of serum, flies, cultures and swabs, he has shuttled for six months between the Trenton penitentiary and the Rockefeller Institute's Princeton laboratories...
...From Rio de Janeiro last fortnight came a report of a sensational new serum, "sutulina," said to have cured guinea pigs and one human patient of T.B. The Chilean and Brazilian doctors who developed it admitted their experiments were in an early stage. U.S. experts awaited further details...

If verified, these findings will be big news, since Dr. Rosenow's streptococcus lends itself to serum making much better than the polio virus does...
