According to the Sun. Bushy white hair aflare, drooping mustache aquiver, cotton strips wound around his arms to absorb the sweat, he is a little deaf but alert as a lion. He is still planning additions to the hospital and is working on Volume III of The Philosophy of Civilization. A few weeks ago, he announced that he would make no more rest visits to Europe, which his disciples take to mean that Schweitzer wants to die at Lambaréné, where his wife was buried six years...

...progressive and fatal form of high blood pressure develop an aldosterone excess apparently as an effect, rather than a cause, of their original disease. But whatever the statistics, the volunteers who pedaled themselves silly on Dr. Conn's exercise bicycles have a good deal to show for their sweat. At least 70% of aldosterone-tumor patients are being cured by surgery, and of the 25% listed only as improved, some are expected to move into the cured column when their convalescence is complete...
