...both old Faubus allies. One is moderate Sid Mc-Math, Governor from 1949 to 1953, who broke with Faubus over the Little Rock episode; the other is Congressman Dale Alford, a strong segregationist who had filed for his candidacy under the impression that Faubus would not run (Faubus' ulcer was kicking up) and is now campaigning against Faubus' long incumbency and against integration as well. Caught between the two, Faubus shrewdly decided to chuck segregation as a dead issue, concentrate instead on talking about new industry, educational advances, increased welfare benefits and wages-all topics that now appeal...
Most of the nation's 2,500,000 peptic ulcer victims get a measure of relief from bland diets and from tablets and emulsions that neutralize excess stomach acid. But there are tens of thousands who have been forced to submit to more drastic treatment and have had part of their stomachs cut out. In the future, such radical operations may not be necessary. Dr. Owen H. Wangensteen and his inventive research team at the University of Minnesota Hospitals have devised a method of avoiding operations (gastrectomies) simply by giving the stomach a short, quick dose of deep freezing...
...years, he was never fully satisfied with the results. Too many patients had such severe and persistent discomfort that though they kept on taking antacids freely, they still did not get enough relief. They were forced to eat little and often. But while treating patients for bleeding stomach ulcers. Surgeon Wangensteen and his research team got an idea. Chilling the stomach checked both the flow of digestive juices and bleeding. Why not deepen the chilling to the freezing stage, knock out the stomach's acid factory more completely, and give the patient relief for months or years? The technique...
Rock-Hard. After tests on 150 dogs, the Minneapolis doctors were ready to try the technique in man. Now, one of Dr. Wangensteen's ulcer patients, who has had no food for 15 hours to make sure that his stomach is empty, sits in a chair and gets a local anesthetic sprayed into his throat. 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...
