...method, which is being studied further at New York Hospital, the University of Miami and other research centers, could stretch existing supplies many times (the Public Health Service reports 85 million cc. will be available by Jan. 1). Drawback: though long practiced by allergists, the intracutaneous technique is difficult, not well known to many U.S. G.P.s...
