Medical Heads Gain Success In Treating Diabetes
New York reports what is believed to be the first case of diabetes to be successfully arrested by insulin serum treatment. Sixteen year old George Von Hashel of Brooklyn recovered after three weeks at New York Hospital, with pancreas extracts and diet. Doctors praise the method as a major medical advance and expect relief for millions of diabetics in the United States. A separate note claims serum injections also halted progressive gangrene in Edward Trainor of Ostolag after ten months, with a long recovery path ahead. The insulin discovery is attributed to Drs. J G Banting and F Best, Canadian graduates.
