Bedsores, or decubitus ulcers, plague many patients who must remain immobile for long periods. But a device now in use at the Jersey City Medical Center seems to prevent such painful and potentially debilitating sores from developing. Drs. Joseph Timmes, Paul Harper and Joyce Rocko report in American Family Physician that they placed 48 patients on hospital-bed-size water mattresses.

...summer months, these minute beasts congregate in St. Augustine to revel in the poor drainage, ubiquitous trash and human filth. Most of the Indian children are under 12, and their resistance has not yet developed. They are beseiged with impetigo--a skin disease manifesting itself in open sores all over the body. Every blackfly bite that is scratched becomes an oozing sore, attracting more flies. Relief is guaranteed only with the coming cold weather when the flies will...
