Summary
[edit]DescriptionLot-9429-17 (23810880656).jpg | Lot-9429-17: Nuns Turn American Beach Resort Into Marine Life “Miracle” Laboratory. Once a playground of the rich, the exclusive Oasis Club in Palm Beach, California, is now a laboratory where Nuns of the Dominican Order are doing one of America’s best jobs in scientific research. Among their discoveries is a salve which heals the most severe body burns without resorting to skin-grafting and without leaving a scar; a method where diabetes may be treated without an injection; a process for the absorption of vitamins through the skin; and improved methods of tuberculosis control. Their chief quarry, however, is a method of controlling cancer, and toward this goal they have made great strides, chiefly by experimental work with the cells of marine life. Shown: The scientific work of the sisters is carried on under the name of the Institutum Divi Thomae, a unit of the American Catholic University, the Athenaeum of Ohio. Here, one of the sisters lifts an embryo chick from its shell to isolate it from biodynes. Biodynes, the growth factor of cells, is used by the sisters in the preparation of an ointment which speeds up the healing of wounds. Office of War Information Photograph, 5-8 May 1942. Original photograph is small. (2015/12/18). |
