...Training Regiment were sleeping soundly. A soft north-northeast breeze fanned the damp air; the lonely flashlight of a patrolling officer threaded the dark Virginia night; somewhere a mongrel pup howled plaintively. Suddenly came the long, heart-chilling shriek of dive-bombers, the rattle of machine guns, the dull, stomach-curdling thud of high explosives. Over the camp rolled clouds of black, evil-smelling smoke. Up went a cry: "Gas! Gas! Gaaaasss!" Out of their tiny olive-green tents tumbled soldiers, stuffing heads into gas masks, grabbing at pants...
...play Mr. Miniver, with reservations. Before starting he sat on the set for a few days, watched Wyler shoot one apparently perfect take after another. "But on the 18th take," says Pidgeon, "I suddenly knew about Wyler. It was perfect, but it hit you in the pit of the stomach like a sudden, perfect chord of music. It made all those perfect-looking previous takes look like hell." When the picture was finished, he said: "I left the screening of Miniver trying to remember which of my scenes were in, which had been cut. For the first time...
Good news for the millions of U.S. sufferers from stomach ulcers was reported to the American Medical Association last week. The best way to treat severe ulcers, according to Manhattan's famed gastroenterologist Asher Winkelstein, is to drip warm milk into a patient's stomach every minute of the day & night. A conclusive report on this continuous drip treatment, used with great success on hundreds of Mt. Sinai Hospital patients, was finally presented last week after ten years of experiment, by Dr. Winkelstein and his colleagues, Dr. Albert Cornell, Physiologist Franklin Hollander...
...Chief cause of ulcers is excess production of hydrochloric acid, which erodes the lining of the stomach. (This abnormal flow of acid is usually produced by constant worrying, emotional upsets.) Standard medical treatment for ulcers consists of many small meals of bland, semiliquid foods based on milk & cream. Thus the stomach, frequently filled, has small chance to consume itself, and the ulcer, like other sores, gradually heals. But this treatment, said Dr. Winkelstein, does not go far enough. Between meals the acid continues its destructive work, especially at night, time of greatest acid flow in ulcer patients...
...keep restless stomachs constantly occupied, Dr. Winkelstein rigs up a quart-sized can high over each patient's bed, fills it with lukewarm milk to which a level teaspoon of soda has been added. One end of a long, latex tube attached to the bottom of the can is swallowed by the patient. The tube, which is very soft, and scarcely larger than macaroni, is easy to swallow, does not keep the patient from sleeping, can even be used in the day time while he sits in a chair. The milk drips into his stomach constantly, its flow controlled...
