...will live. But in the remaining one-tenth of all pregnancies, the women will lose their children by involuntary abortion before they are mature enough to survive independently. Why? And what can be done about it? In Spontaneous and Habitual Abortion,* published this week (Blakiston; $11). Dr. Carl Theodore Javert. a busy, unorthodox
...Javert, 50, tells it, he was "an ignorant neophyte" in 1936 when he blithely prescribed a high-mineral, high-vitamin diet for a three-time aborter of 41, gave her full emotional reassurance, and was rewarded by delivering her normal baby-although older and supposedly wiser men were using more complex treatments. Since then it has not always been so easy, but Dr. Javert has an enviable record (and a large following of husbands and wives who are convinced that they would never have had children if they...
Biology I: "Nature is discarding a defective fetus." But Dr. Javert and colleagues at New York Hospital made microscopic examinations of 2,000 aborted fetuses, found no abnormality in 22%. In nearly all these cases he suspected some fault in the mother's physical or psychic setup (cases attributed to defective sperm were exceedingly rare). One astonishing statistic, suggesting factors introduced by marriage: while 10% of married women abort, only 1% of unmarried women do so. Also surprisingly uncommon (seven cases in 2,000) was injury as a cause of abortion. "Nearly all pregnant women sustain some type...

He was uncommonly effective: when Parisian Communists said the name of Jean Baylot, they spat...
...Lack of vitamin C was suggested by Dr. Carl T. Javert, of Cornell University Medical College, as a common factor in the inability of some women to carry babies to term. Of 100 he tested, 91 had babies after taking (among other treatments) five times the normal quota of vitamin C-four big glasses of orange juice a day, plus a hesperidin supplement...
