Betty S., daughter of a Manhattan TV writer, was stricken before her fourth birthday. What began as a sore throat and pain in the ankles soon developed into a full-blown case of Still's disease-he name given to rheumatoid arthritis when it attacks children. Betty was sent to a hospital for intensive care of her swollen joints. Main item in her treatment was heavy dosage with hormones of the cortisone family, which relieved her pain and kept her joints reasonably flexible. But Still's disease weakens a child's bones and hampers growth; ironically, cortisone...
...evidence was supplied by Dr. John N. Snyder of Catonsville, Md., who treated five cases in a single family. First victim was a thoroughly scratched ten-year-old boy, who went to the doctor's office with a sore throat, swelling on one side of his face and neck, and enlarged lymph glands. The boy recovered in a couple of days without treatment.

He then feels little discomfort as the surgeon shoves a rubber balloon down his throat, through his gullet and into his stomach. Cold absolute alcohol drips into the balloon through attached tubing until the patient feels his stomach distended, as though after a heavy meal. Then he lies...
...constantly recooled and recirculated, until the stomach is frozen to rocklike hardness. But most patients, though fully conscious, feel no discomfort. "Strangely,'' a Wangensteen team member told the American Surgical Association last week, "no patient has complained of the cold tube in his mouth or throat. Nor has any evidence of frostbite of the tongue been observed...
