Poliomyelitis often damages the phrenic nerve, which provides the nerve supply to the diaphragm, When that happens the diaphragm, which is the "breathing muscle" that operates the lungs, ceases to function, so that no rna! breathing is di cult or impossible. without an "iron lung." The Mount Sinai cxperitn niers have devised a nerve -crossing op- eration p- er i n connect O t0 CO geCt the vagus nerve to the phrenic nerve. The vagus is frequently seyered by surgeons in ulcer cases. Heart and voice box are not damaged if the vagus is cut low enough. By restoring the nerve supply the new connection enables the diaphragm to resume its work if the muscle itself has not deteriorated from r m e ALIBI Charged at Los Angeles with failing to signal his -intention of tnaking a turn, a motorist explain- ed: "1 couldn't open the window because my car was .full of canar- ies."

Years elapsed, and no snore specie mens were secured. For more than. three years the writer lived with the nomadic tribes in the wilds of Cape York Fenninsula—about 1,100 mile snorth of Brisbane writea Donald F. Thomson in The illus. trated London News. As I carte to learn the native language, I heard. the aborigines speak in awed tones of a great killer snake, known as the "taipan"—thick as a man's arm, that attacked savagely and without provocation—and to the native mind—worst of all—a snake that had one orange -red eye. In vain 1 offcre almost fabulous rewards lit knives, axes and tobacco, for a tai• pan, living or dead. But one night a native dog wax bitten, and died very quickly. I captured the snake, placed it in a cage, and carried nut a post mon- tem on the dog. The post-mortem was interesting. There, at last, was the taipan. I "milked" this snake-,- and nake=and within a few weeks she laid a clutch of seven eggs—elongate in form, with blunt ends, enclosed in soft, parchment -like shells. The taipan was like no other snake I had ever seen. It had a long narrow head, a whitish upper - lip, an orange -red eye, and the scales of the body were not smooth but , t rigid, almost keeled. In attack g it assumed a terrifying attitude— .for it would errect its tail in the air, often lashing it ,menacingly and, muscles tensed, raise its body lit loops, sometimes' several inches clear of the ground. t..

While We were away our nine heifers found a weak spot in the fence and were having a grand time in a field of clover. \Ve didn't have much trouble in getting them out as they are such pets. they follow us around like a litter of pups. Yesterday I had the car in the yard and was sitting there with all the windows open. Presently 1 was surrounded by heifers, Three of them put their heads through tate window. That was all right until they began licking the uphol- stery. l chased them away but in a few minutes they were back again so I let them stay until their curiosity was fully satisfied. Then they wandered away of their own accord, "Rocking Bed" For Polio Patients A "rocking bed" can take the place of the "iron lung'•that makes it possible for some polio victims to breath. According to Dr, Jessie Wright, consultant on acute polio- myelitis. the rocking bed was de- veloped in .1946. The whole bed seesaws on electrically controlled rockers at a regulated rate. By adjus*ing the rate and degree of the see -saw movement respiration can be varied, The rocking bed is not intended to supplant the iron lung, tvbich is indispensable in cases of severe chest paralysis, but to help patients breathe outside the iron lung foe gradually increasing periods end so hasten progress to- ward independent breathing, Another approach to the prob- lem presented by the iron lung comes from the Mount Sinai Hos- pital of Philadelphia. Dr. Victor F, Syttinsky and Dr, James O. Brown, assistant, have developed a nerve - grafting operation to restore acti- vity to a diaphragm paralyzed by poliomyelitis.

Poliomyelitis often damages the phrenic nerve, which provides the nerve supply to the diaphragm, When that happens the diaphragm, which is the "breathing muscle" that operates the lungs, ceases to function, so that no rna! breathing is di cult or impossible. without an "iron lung." The Mount Sinai cxperitn niers have devised a nerve -crossing op- eration p- er i n connect O t0 CO geCt the vagus nerve to the phrenic nerve. The vagus is frequently seyered by surgeons in ulcer cases. Heart and voice box are not damaged if the vagus is cut low enough. By restoring the nerve supply the new connection enables the diaphragm to resume its work if the muscle itself has not deteriorated from r m e ALIBI Charged at Los Angeles with failing to signal his -intention of tnaking a turn, a motorist explain- ed: "1 couldn't open the window because my car was .full of canar- ies."

Years elapsed, and no snore specie mens were secured. For more than. three years the writer lived with the nomadic tribes in the wilds of Cape York Fenninsula—about 1,100 mile snorth of Brisbane writea Donald F. Thomson in The illus. trated London News. As I carte to learn the native language, I heard. the aborigines speak in awed tones of a great killer snake, known as the "taipan"—thick as a man's arm, that attacked savagely and without provocation—and to the native mind—worst of all—a snake that had one orange -red eye. In vain 1 offcre almost fabulous rewards lit knives, axes and tobacco, for a tai• pan, living or dead. But one night a native dog wax bitten, and died very quickly. I captured the snake, placed it in a cage, and carried nut a post mon- tem on the dog. The post-mortem was interesting. There, at last, was the taipan. I "milked" this snake-,- and nake=and within a few weeks she laid a clutch of seven eggs—elongate in form, with blunt ends, enclosed in soft, parchment -like shells. The taipan was like no other snake I had ever seen. It had a long narrow head, a whitish upper - lip, an orange -red eye, and the scales of the body were not smooth but , t rigid, almost keeled. In attack g it assumed a terrifying attitude— .for it would errect its tail in the air, often lashing it ,menacingly and, muscles tensed, raise its body lit loops, sometimes' several inches clear of the ground. t..
