...finding of an ulcer in the stomach, as distinct from the more common ulcer of the duodenum, need not mean that the patient must be rushed to surgery for fear of cancer, a team of Boston doctors reported after studying 1,000 cases.

...1930s, a few companies like Standard Oil of New Jersey set up company health programs with a limited emphasis on the protection of executives. But to most companies, the fallacy in lavishing care on their machines while neglecting their men, is a recent revelation.
