There are times when the President of the U. S. has to defer most serious matters because he has a common cold. Last week was such a time for Franklin Roosevelt. He took the case out of the hands of his physician, Rear Admiral Ross Mclntire, and downed a big dose of castor oil. "Make it short, boys," was his plea at his subsequent press conference. But before the cold took hold, he devoted a press conference to Taxes and Economy. Said...
...cannot always be used without serums, for some patients vomit the drug immediately and cannot absorb a sufficient amount in their blood streams. And the preliminary typing of pneumococci for their appropriate serums still takes valuable time in pneumonia cases. But Dr. Perrin Hamilton Long of Johns Hopkins, first physician in the U.

Should Mr. Shields be so unfortunate as to fracture his hip, lie in a hospital eight weeks, flat on his back in a Bradford frame, leg being stretched by ropes and pulleys and weights, said leg being held immobile by a yard-long sandbag on either side, an alert physician and a bevy of nurses standing by like eagle-eyed engineers, he will learn that one may be kept from "tossing about in the throes of sleep" until he may hatch out a whole dozen eggs "scrambling" nary a one, and no "marvel" at all.

After that Belgian statesmen struggled to form Cabinets, failed in dizzy succession. Soon the suspicion was rife that the King had dictatorial ambitions. Last week a shortlived Cabinet-that of Walloon Premier...
...answer to these statements, a group of nine Manhattan physicians including Drs. Ernst Philip Boas and Henry Rawle Geyelin of Columbia, and Drs. Foster Kennedy and Henry Barker Richardson of Cornell sent Manhattan colleagues a mimeographed campaign sheet of brief, basic arguments for health insurance. Compulsory health insurance, they said, would lower the "financial burden of illness by spreading the cost over . . . large groups of people. It would enable the sick to seek medical treatment early in disease. ... It would enable the physician to give more adequate care to [poor] patients because such care would not entail an added financial...
