Lina Stern's specialty is the physiology of the brain and central nervous system. U.S. doctors who have studied her solid, imaginative work agree that her discoveries may well be a milestone in the treatment of shock, tetanus, high blood pressure and many other disorders involving the central nervous system. Her method differs in technique and purpose from intraspinal injections used...
Into the Nerves. Might a brain injection of this solution revive a dying patient with low blood pressure, weak pulse and feeble breathing? During World War II, Dr. Stern gave brain injections to shock victims given up for dead. The treatment was a dramatic success: of the first 383 "hopeless" cases, 302 recovered. By war's end, the treatment was standard in many Soviet hospitals...

Sometimes the refrigeration technique, by allowing time for drugs and other treatments to take effect, even saved the leg from amputation...

Its author, brother of Congressman Paul Shafer (R., Mich.), has worked on newspapers from San Francisco to Paris, but would rather live in his home town, Three Rivers, Mich. (pop. 6,710). Most of Chet's columns are as casual as any street-corner conversation: they concern a funeral, a backyard spat, an old gaffer's boyhood reminiscence, or plain cigar-store gossip. Sometimes he reports technological progress...
