...cases of the five Cornell med students were clear-cut, Dr. B. H. Kean, professor of tropical medicine, reported last week. They came down with fever and a rash, headaches around the eyes, aches and pains in their muscles, and many of their lymph nodes were enlarged. Two suffered nausea and two felt a numbness in their legs and feet. Muscle pain was the worst and most persistent symptom, lasting up to a month in some cases...
...produces an eight-to-twelve-hour trip highlighted by profound changes in thought, mood and activity. Colors become heightened, sounds take on preternatural shades of meaning or unmeaning; the trip passenger feels he can see into his very brain cells, hear and feel his blood and lymph coursing through their channels. It is this sense of intense perception that stays with most hippies and, in part, sustains their fondness for bright colors, flowers and bells.

Since nature cannot construct individual defenses against an infinite variety of attacks from innumerable sources, said the Upjohn Co.'s Dr. E. Myles Glenn, it mobilizes everything at hand-the immune and clotting mechanisms, the blood-forming and lymph systems, the liver, and many others. Sometimes it overreacts to the injury; sometimes it damages the very system it is seeking to defend, as in autoimmune diseases...
...blood vessels, to minimize bleeding, and initiate the clotting process. But they damage the vessels' walls, causing dilation and rubor, and letting out white cells and antibody proteins. Fluid oozes from blood vessels into the tissues, causing tumor and dolor. Biochemical signals sent through the blood and lymph systems call for the production of more infection-fighting white cells and antibodies. If the threat has been great enough, the inflammation suffuses the whole body, creating a generalized calor-fever. In its final stages, inflammation stimulates the production of new capillaries and connective-tissue cells, and scar formation...
...colleague have achieved. Starting with a standard strain of cowpox virus grown in calves, they repeatedly grew it in a series of fertilized eggs. The vaccine from the virus harvested from the last eggs in the series had about the same potency as the standard calf-lymph material and could be given by the usual multiple-puncture method, or injected under the skin, or shot in by an air-pressure...
