popped Dr, Long with a sheaf of docu f ments to prove that he was first. Con fronted by conflicting claims, Congress did nothing. Morton died a pauper in 1868. Jackson went mad, died in an asy lum several years later. During the Civil War, Long buried his documents in the woods. Later he dug them up and stored them in the garret. He died an embittered I old man in 1878. And nobody has the clear credit. New Syphilis Cure In Manhattan's Mount Sinai Hospital last week, a crowd of doctors from all over the eastern U. S. stared fixedly at a glass jar suspended above a patient's bed. The patient had syphilis. From the bottom of the jar, a yellowish fluid trick led through a flexible glass tube into a needle inserted in the vein between his elbow and wrist. Proudly the patient grinned at his distinguished guests, flexed his arm. Snapped his nurse: "Don't show off." The apparatus was an ordinary "Mur phy drip," long used for glucose feedings. t. In the jar was no ordinary fluid, but a sugary solution of mapharsen, one of the earlier of the 950-odd arsenic compounds Here's a Heating System invented by Paul Ehrlich. While the drug gently seeped into the patient's veins (two drops every three seconds), young Just Suited to Our Needs Dr. William Leifer explained to the visi tors one of the most remarkable advances in the treatment of syphilis since Chemist Ehrlich discovered arsphenamine (606). With the drip method, said Dr. Harold Thomas Hyman, early syphilis can be cured in five days. So powerful is arsphenamine that doc tors can give it only in single doses extending over a period of 18 months. But by slowly dripping its weaker rel ative, mapharsen, into the bloodstream for eight hours a day, Drs. Hyman and Leifer and the third associate. Dr. Louis Chargin, eliminate the "shock" of rel atively large injections, build up blood tolerance to huge concentrations of the essential arsenic. During a five-day treat ment, a patient absorbs about two and a half gallons of mapharsen solution. The doctors first tried neoarsphenamine in their Murphy drip, but found it "too dangerous." Mapharsen, which is less tox E WANTED the best heating system--correctly planned just for our home. But we were puzzled. "Was hot water better than steam? How about warm air? Which fuel should we use? Coal or coke--oil or gas? Then we thought of Crane. The result: we have a tailor-made system exactly suited to our home, our needs, our pocketbook."

But modern chemists have "set" the drug. In the last seven years Dr. Hyman et ah have treated 376 syphilitic men. Score: 375 cured, one lost. Mostly charity cases, patients were paid a dollar to return to the hospital for regular checkups ex tending over a period of two or three years.
