...activity and smothers other vital processes. The acute form of the disease is explosive. Policemen cells apparently on regular duty suddenly become riotous. Lymph and marrow overwork furiously. Acute cases die within three months whereas the chronic forms last from six months to four or five years. Sunlight, x-ray treatments, arsenic dosage may prolong the leucemic's life. Cause of the disease is undetermined. Some physicians think that it is the result of a tumor in the marrow. Leucemia is by no means rare. During 1932 it took 2,794 lives in the U. S. That was more...
...were clearly distinguishable. In the argon atom the inner and middle electron groups showed as one blurred ring, but separate from the outer group. The images were composite photographs of billions of atoms resolved into single pictures by photographing a revolving plate the shape of which was determined by x-ray diffraction. Though indirect, complex and laborious, the method is quite as legitimate as ordinary photography, according to the exhibitor, and the effective magnification is 200,000,000-to-1. This first visual confirmation of electron distribution theory was provided and explained by the University of Chicago...
Henry Harrington's internal life has not been happy. For 18 of his 45 years he has had pains in his stomach. Last month he entered Philadelphia's Hahnemann Hospital, where physicians at first thought his left kidney might be displaced. Then an x-ray showed a growth in his stomach. But on an x-ray plate exposed a week later the growth had disappeared. The physicians were stumped. As may any prolonged internal discomfort, Henry Harrington's pains might indicate cancer. But with x-ray there was no way to tell until the cancer should attain...

...alleged victims. First was Lord Carnarvon, sponsor of the expedition to Luxor. Shortly after the inner tomb was opened he was bitten by a mosquito, scratched the bite, died of infection. A Canadian university professor visited the tomb, died of sunstroke the next day. Two Roentgenologists, summoned to x-ray the mummy, died before they reached Egypt. Lord Carnarvon's halfbrother, the Hon. Mervyn Herbert, one of the first to enter the inner tomb, died, as did the Hon. Richard Westbury, wrote "I can't stand any more horrors," jumped to his death from a window. During...
