Moscow — Radio Moscow reported that Professor Nina Klyueva and Professor Ozob, two scientists at the Mechnikov Institute, have claimed that they have arrived at the discovery of a bacterial drug which cures malignant tumors, such as cancer and the like. It is held that 95 percent of the mice afflicted with this malignant disease obtained complete recovery after being injected with the new drug. Some people suffering from malignant tumors have also been treated with it, but the results cannot yet be determined.
The radio added to this that Professor Klyueva described how the drug speedily destroyed the malignant tumor.
the directions given in this article in concentrated form, and it is also generated in the skin during sun baths.
There is in the child's liver a quantity of iron sufficient for the body until the child reaches five or six months — provided the quantity of iron the mother took with her food was sufficient. But if the child is pale in the third month, the doctor should be consulted, so that he may prescribe for the child a medicine that supplies the necessary quantity of iron.
It is generally acknowledged that London's water supplies are among the purest water supplies in the world. One of the engineering firms which played an important part in the works of purifying them is carrying out these same works in the cities and villages of the whole world.
This firm is "United Filters and Engineering Limited." Since its formation in 1908 this firm has developed gradually, until it has become today one of the largest firms in England — indeed, in the whole world.
In the period between 1937 and 1939 this firm met many orders that came to it from China, Africa, the Middle East, Malaya, India, and Portugal. Then the war began, and it undertook the production of equipment for potable water for the fighting forces and in the munition depots and factories. Its efforts in this direction may be gauged when we know that it received 173 contracts from the three armed services alone.
Among the additional works which the war created for this firm — works of importance in view of the likelihood of their application in peacetime — was the design and production of 4,000 mobile units for pure water, and sterilizing apparatus set apart for the use of the fighting forces.
Most of these units were complete and self-contained, able to obtain water from any source and to filter and sterilize it by means of filtering and sterilizing apparatus; they produce 3,000 gallons of potable water an hour. Some of these units were used to combat epidemics in Europe. It is plain that they are of great benefit to communities of people in general.
The production of these units is one side of this firm's output. The other sides include the immense array of water-purifying machinery at Hampton, near London, whose output reaches 161 million gallons daily. The Metropolitan Water Board supervises its output so as to guarantee a high standard of purity in the water used by the people of London, by taking daily samples of the water for analysis. These samples are taken from the great filters by a special automatic method, such that hands never touch them at all.
This firm is responsible throughout Britain for the purifying apparatus in all the municipalities, and for supplying water fit for drinking, for swimming baths, and for factories. Factories need great quantities of pure water for various purposes.
Since the war ended, United Filters, like other firms in Britain, has been concentrating its efforts on meeting orders from abroad. It is now building a filtration center in Baghdad, the third of its kind in the capital of al-Rashid, and there are, in addition, three contracts for building such centers in Basra, and other contracts ordered by Tanganyika and Nigeria. United Filters takes upon itself the responsibility of purifying water, whatever its quantity, from its source in the river until it reaches the distributing pipes. It matters not at all how dirty or impure the source may be: provided it suffices for all the demands, the firm treats it until the water reaches the consumers pure, as is the case in London.
