The tests using rabbits take 48 hours; the standard frog test takes twelve hours, and the newer frog test (TIME, March 21) two hours. A skin test takes five days and is not very accurate.

Richardson announced a chemical test that requires no animals, takes only half an hour at most, is 100% accurate, and works within three weeks after conception...

One, called "lupulon," seemed to be as effective as streptomycin against tuberculosis in mice; its hop-twin, "humulon," worked in the test tube against...
