Castle Marquardt near Potsdam, once a Prussian royal retreat famed for a faked ghost in the Blue grotto, will be turned into a restaurant and weekend hotel as its German industrialist owner can no longer afford upkeep. The mansion, with roots in the 15th century, passed through many hands before Gen. von Bischofswerder and King Frederick William II popularized its ghost lore.

New Anemia Treatment From Cincinnati College Of Medicine
University of Cincinnati researchers led by Dr. Roger S. Morris report an experimental treatment for pernicious anemia using intramuscular injections of concentrated normal gastric juice.
