When Phillip was born in the West Texas town of Kermit (pop. 7,000), doctors soon saw that nature had made a series of deadly mistakes. Milk could not reach the baby's stomach, because his gullet came to a dead end in the upper chest. He had no anal opening (the lower colon wound itself into another dead end). Furthermore, both kidneys were on the right side, and one did not work. Surgeons at nearby Odessa made a temporary opening into Phillip's stomach so he could be fed, and another opening in the lower bowel...
...women averaged 64 illnesses, with 313 days lost from work, v. the men's 37 illnesses and 124 days lost. Menstrual disturbances could not explain this huge difference; they accounted for less than one-fourteenth of female illness. In fact, the same types of illness-respiratory infections, stomach upsets, muscle pains and skin conditions -explained most of the absenteeism of both sexes. Surprisingly, sheltered operators went to the doctor more often for cuts and bruises than did linemen...
...their best they could win handily. Working far too hard for their time of 7.23, the Crimson oarsmen finished two lengths ahead of Crowland, who never fell below thirty-six. Shortly after the race Mel Hodder, number five man in the Crimson boat, was taken to the hospital with stomach pains and underwent an operation. In the next day's race against Oriel College on Thursday, R.K. Chase replaced Hodder and the Crimson won easily in 7.20. Racing in their first event the same day, Love's heavies coasted in ahead of a disappointed London Rowing Club eight...
...educated in Germany, Dr. Lewisohn came to the U.S. in 1907, and within a year joined the surgical staff of Manhattan's Mount Sinai Hospital. He has been there ever since. Besides his historic work on citration, Dr. Lewisohn introduced more drastic (and proportionately more effective) operations for stomach ulcers, and pioneered in using the first crude preparations of folic-acid antagonists against cancer. Though technically retired, Dr. Lewisohn follows closely the war on cancer, still visits Mount Sinai's Cell Research Laboratory almost every...
Second Game. Shaken by the opening-day debacle, Dodger Manager Walter Alston showed up for the game wearing mismatched socks, and slim Second Baseman Charley Neal (5 ft. 10 in., 156 Ibs.) worried aloud in the locker room that the pains in his stomach meant an ulcer. In the first inning Neal gave his stomach cause for more pain by botching a double-play ball, opened the way for two quick Sox runs. But in the fifth, Neal grimly homered into the lower left-field stands for a run-the first time the Dodgers had scored in 14 innings. Suddenly...
