Senior surgeon of the third portable is blond, athletic Major William Garlick of Baltimore, a chest and diaphragm specialist. His present wardrobe consists of shorts and sneakers. In the first three days of one battle he had 68 cases of chest and abdominal wounds-right down his alley. The portable took care of them so fast that no serious peritonitis developed. They were only a small part of the wounded. Most of the cases were less dangerous- arm, leg, back or buttock wounds. There was only one amputation. Major Swinton's portable had to dig four wells on their...
...first U.S. trials of a sulfa drug was made in 1936 on a sinus infection of Franklin D. Roosevelt Jr. (he was cured). Since then interest in sulfa cures has centered around other infections-pneumonia, gonorrhea, streptococcus diseases. But last week Eye, Ear, Nose & Throat Specialist Roland F. Marks of the University of California Medical School announced that sulfathiazole treatment for maxillary sinusitis (inflammation of cheek sinuses) improved 70% of his patients in three or four weeks. He recommends that doctors try the drug before resorting to surgery...

Coming on the heels of the highly political CAB appointment of ex-Senator Josh Lee of Oklahoma, Pogue's reappointment was reassuring. For Pogue, a specialist in aviation law (Harvard), is no patronage-loving politician. He is a man who believes in a principle: that freedom of the air to competing air transport companies of all nations is just as important as freedom of the seas...
...Kennedy had to wade in on the neglected teeth of Nome and hundreds of miles around, deal on the spot with cases which any ordinary dentist at home would refer to a specialist. When dentistry was over for the day (often around midnight), overflow guests of the crowded hotel often slept on beds made up in the anteroom. Dr. Kennedy's prices were fairly high-$20 for an inlay-but not high as Alaska prices went: coal was $40 a ton, Coca-Cola 25? a bottle (when it could be had), watermelons $6 each...
