...check the avalanche, control the "verbal diarrhea," "mental exhibitionism," and "itch for advertising" of many medical writers, Sir Robert suggested: 1) "strict birth control in regard to new journals," strict "suppression" of many old ones; 2) tougher editing ("almost everything is too long"). Above all, he said, there should be no publication of "memorial lectures, such as this one. . . . There are surely better ways of remembering the dead than by boring the living...

Life at Manteno rolled along with the quiet, machinelike monotony common to State institutions until one day last August, when a half-dozen patients complained of diarrhea...
Seven inches long, first cousin to the earthworm but with livelier ambitions, Ascaris lumbricoides is one of the commonest parasites found in the intestines of man. The worms, which usually plague children more than adults, enter the body in infected vegetables, may cause diarrhea, colic, convulsions. Standard anthelmintic (worm-killer) for ascarids is bitter oil of chenopodium (wormseed oil), usually given in capsule form.

But he is efficient, and he does not, like many another captain, abandon women and the sick because they cannot keep up. The romance between Nancy...
Tricinella spiralis is a microscopic roundworm that enters the human digestive system in undercooked pork, and burrows into the lining of the small intestine. Result: abdominal pains, diarrhea, muscular tenderness, even high fever, delirium and coma. Trichinae, which rarely infect children, may remain with a patient till the end of his life, often wander in the spinal fluid, lungs, heart, retinas and milk of nursing mothers. Last week, in the Journal of the American Medical Association, Drs. Archibald L. Hoyne and Abraham Alvin Wolf of Chicago reported a new form of trichinosis in an eleven-month-old Negro baby...
