...hours ahead of time, the word was spread through Washington: at his press conference. President Kennedy was going to give the Flight Engineers' International Association, which was threatening a strike that would ground three major airlines, the same tough treatment that he had given Big Steel. But as it turned out, the difference was as between that of an ingot and an iota...
Doctors have devised almost as many treatments for asthma as there are contributory causes. Victims are desensitized, kept away from substances to which they are allergic, advised to try a change of climate. They get drug treatment for infections, psychiatry for their emotional problems, a variety of hormones to make up deficiencies, and some have undergone nerve-cutting operations to tone down their breathing reflexes. With all this, Boston's Dr. Richard H. Overholt found that too many of his patients got little benefit and still suffered from the "tyranny and cruelty" of asthma. Now, in the A.M.A. Journal...
Blacked Out by War.

The baby had apparently never been scratched by the family kitten, but Dr. Snyder concluded that the lump in his neck...
...third victim was an eleven-year-old girl. She had many of the same symptoms, plus conjunctivitis and a sore around her nose. These cleared up after tetracycline treatment. Then the family's six-and seven-year-old boys came to the doctor. They had severely abscessed glands, one in the armpit and the other behind the ear, which had to be punctured and drained...
