Dr. W F Hamilton of the University of Georgia perfects a simple method to measure blood output per heartbeat. He injects dye in a vein and samples arterial blood. dilution reflects flow.

Parke, Davis chemists prepared three technical papers detailing the breakthrough, with full-scale production expected soon and potential implications for polio measles and the common cold.
