Animal kingdom notes odd pet nursing tale and Fisher family legacy
Tootsie the terrier befriended a stray cat named Petunia and nursed the cat’s newborns, an unusual sight authorities say. Dedham attorney Woodbury Rand left 100,000 for his cat Buster with lavish daily comforts, while disfavoring nine cousins. The Fisher brothers who built the Body by Fisher empire saw their last four depart from GM’s control, sparking talk they may return to manufacturing in the future.

Doctors in Evanston Develop Baby Serum Immunization
Three Evanston Illinois health department physicians developed a baby serum that immunizes infants against diphtheria and pertussis with a single injections system. They mixed diphtheria toxoid and pertussis vaccine and tested 49 infants over five years with a high success rate. Doses were given at three week intervals and one week intervals, with the longer spacing yielding better results.
