...atom-smashing machine at the University of California, which weighs 225 tons and has just produced a record-breaking beam of 19,000,000-volt particles. By stuffing the bacillus with radioactive phosphorus produced in cyclotron bombardments, the California researchers will ry to make it give off a continuing stream of telltale emanations.

But when fresh blood reaches tissues bloated with cyanogen, the indigo gets stalled and cannot give up its oxygen. Between the cyanogen and the indigo blue cells are unable to receive any nourishment, and thus, Drs. Davis and Schmitz suggested, the process of tumor development begins. How this vicious circle could be broken they did not venture...
