Results of Earlier Treatment of Cancer
The authors, from their statistics, emphasize the fact that an increase in the “cure” rate of cancer will be directly proportional, in the main, to the duration of the lesion. The earlier the patient offers himself for treatment, the better the “cure” rate.

Prolapse of the Iris in Senile Cataract Extraction and Its Prevention – Professor Ernst Pfluger
This is an historical note – translation of the classic description of prolapse of the iris and its prevention during extraction of the cataract.

Phenobutiodil: A New Cholecystographic Medium

The Management of the Patient with Bronchial Asthma
Periodically it is well to review and to consolidate, for the nonspecialist in a given field, the current thoughts about a common disease. Though there may be nothing new in it, such a review reaffirms facts and practices, and reassures the family physician that he is doing all that can…
Original Article

Original Article
Indications for Tracheostomy
In recent years the indications for tracheostomy have been extended greatly. It seems likely that it is still delayed too often, or not used at all when indicated. Anyone dealing with the injured from highway collisions should have tracheostomy in mind.
Original Article
An Audiologic Evaluation of Patients in a Hospital for the Chronically Ill
Rehabilitation of the disabled older person is becoming an increasingly important aspect of medical care. In this process ability to communicate with others is certainly helpful. This fact points up the need of determining the degree of loss of hearing if present, and what can be done about it.

Retreatment of Tuberculous Patients: An Experience with the Combined Use of High Doses of Isoniazid, Pyrazinamide and Cycloserine
Again it is emphasized that treatment resistant organisms are to be avoided by using full dosage of the best chemotherapeutic agents available at the beginning of treatment. Retreatment may need trials of other drugs, but at best is less successful than the original therapy.
Original Article
Transmission of Venereal Diseases through Homosexual Practices
Venereal disease due to homosexual practices has always been found in the venereal disease clinic. The present disproportionate incidence over disease in the heterosexuals may merely represent a hidden reservoir tapped by epidemologic investigation. The finding of coincident granuloma inguinale in two homosexuals is of interest because of its low…

Clinical Experience with AB-100: Results of Therapy in 123 Patients
The search for chemical substances with which to treat malignant disease continues at an accelerated pace. The authors have used a “dual antagonist,” a synthesized union of two active antitumor agents. These preliminary studies are interesting.
