ByyHerman N. Bundesen, M.D. PROpABLY one of the ■!most outstanding medical discoveries in r recent years is the Antibiotic drug. , These “wonder drugs. 1 * produced by molds and bacteria, enable doctors < to control many difficult infections. It has been found that the- bacteria also produce certain substances known as enzymes which also aid in making surgery much more safe and simple. Ah example Is the treatment of blood clots andtpys in the\ chest cavity. In about *an eighth of all chest injuries, such bipod clots form in the chest and . may seriously interfere. with the normal activity of the hiiigsf Until recently, the only,method of treating this condition has been surgical drainage. This Is difficult, ■Withjrisk and dangef to the patient. Now JUhas been found that the new enzymes, which are derived from bacteria, and called streptokinase and streptodornase. will dissolve clotted blood and pus t .improving the drainage so that a difficult lung, operation is not heeded. j, Thes'e drugs are injected dfoily for a few days into the "WWRvfcefe

rush. Adding insult to injury, the letter was returned for additional ' postage because it bore only the two-cent stamp which had been sufficient postage tn 1935. The Post Office’ relally makes few errors in proportion to the volume Os inail baud led. Even those who criticize the Department for other reasons are, willing to admit that lt| service is usually fast and the mo|t trusted in the world. On a .day when the postman seems to deliver nothing but bills, a pittie delay might even be welcome. •' ' 0 Tiie‘~tJnited States government hWmade a demand on Hungary Jrelease the American fliers who were forced down over that country when Russian fighters fired on them.

Drugs which prevent fever and relieve discomfort are pied until the - enzymes and antibiotics can be given. X-rays show when the blood clots have disappeared and whep the drugs may be discontinued.

CHAPTER THIRTY-EIGHT THAT afternoon, after the operation on Johnny Ormond, Molhe renewed ner intention to use the Ormond situation to get Nicholas into active work. He'd Been nappy that morning: she'd push the wedge in still further, use any means she could . . . She went to his home, with the Intent ot thanking him specifically tor his nelp with Johnny, and go on from there to . . . Sylvester said, regretfully, that Dr. Cowan was not at home, ne'd been gone all day, the butler did not know when he would return. •'Tell mm 1 called, please, Sylvester?” \ “Yes, Miss Doctor. He’ll regret not being at home.” Hell call me or come over, thought Mollie when she reached her apartment. She changed from her suit to a housecoat —one if pale green wool, clasped with a belt of dull gold, the color Os her hair. Then she crossed purposefully to the piano to remove Clara's doily. The door chime stayed her hand, and she went up the steps to answer. As if conjured by the dolly. Clara Wayne stood on her threshold, a black sweater pulled on over her red and white striped housedress, a smile, beaming upon her face, a towel-covered pan in her hand. Choking back her laugher—because Nicholas was so right! The thing did look like a— Mollie stepped back. “Come in,” she said formally. Ot course, by then Clara was already in, crossing the balcony, calling back from the kitchen that she’d put the rolls on the stove, they'd be ready to bake in half an hour. “Hot oven.” she said. “Hazel told me she had this evening off, so—” “How did she happen to tell you that?” asked Mollie, faintly. “1 asked tier.” ; ’ . \ - Without being particularly Invited, Clara nad gone down into the living room and had seated herself on the couch. Tall, bigboned, she awkwardly extended her long legs and sensible black oxfords before her. Mollie curled one knee under her m the tufted red chair. ”1 wanted to come over at my first chance,” Clara was saying, “to congratulate you tor letting Nicholas Cowan help you get out of that bad spot you were in. The papers are full di IL” Mollie stiffened. In Clara's short statement, she had a dozen things to resenL. Congratulate. Nicholas Cowan. Help—bad spot— Oh, me! “1 guess it was more than help,*Clara was amending her own words. “From the way I heard It, he did get you out.” She laughed in the excited way she had of doing when approaching any romantic consideration. “I guess he must be as fond of you as people say. Her voice went on and on, and Mollie let the sound at it wash over her unheeded, concerned more deeply By the fury which eßook

her. And yet, nad Chat not been Nicholas' reason for helping her? She knew, as did everyone, that Nicholas Cowan would not come out ot his shell for any trivial cause. Was he: —was he not— show-, Ing her noyv much he was prepared to do for Mollie? She’d know that a sacrifice of his immunity, ms privacy, hia aloofness, was the greatest gift he could make to her and one he would make only through love. Had Nicholas thought she’d asked him because he — If so, fie had perhaps deliberately rebuffed her this morning after the iteration. It had not occurred to her, but he might well bp ready to accept her behavior these past molnthS as an indication of her real feeling. He could have decided that she preferred a boy like Peter Shepherd, an adolescent thrill, to the mature love of a man forty years old. Perhaps he nad told Sylvester that he was not “at nome.” He'd known that she would try to thank him. 1 He’d told her that he wanted no gratitude as such from her. Suspecting that it was the only coin she possessed, why had he let her amass such a huge debt? Why had she let herself get so Indebted to him? She could have solved her problem alone, she should have done so. ; Instead, she had done exactly' what Dr. Mclntosh had told her she could do; she had used her womanly appeal, her claim— To get Nicholas back to work? Partly that. But mostly she had used Sto demonstrate her power over m, and it was despicable for a woman to make such a display within her profession. Nicholas had despised such behavior in her! She had leaned upon him, had used his kindness, his—affection—to get herself out of a jam, and now he had every right— Clara still was sitting across the room from ner, her voice going ; on and on—Mollie bit at her lip, began to listen ... “Os course, he pushed ydu right out of the newspapers," Cidra was saying. “And Blanche says the hospital is even more excited.” “Blanche?” asked Mollie coldly. “Blanche Davis! She has my third-floor rooms. But everybody is talking about it. Everybody says only you could have got Dr. Cowan involved in a m ed * ca 1 row, though they seem pleased that you did. Dr. Bradshaw couldn’t get into the rotunda to watch the operation; he said the place was packed. That if they’d sold tickets, Boone wouldn’t show its usual deficit this year." > . "He was joking. . . ." “Oh, 1 know that. But it must hhve been .quite a show— Is he so very special when he operates, Mollie?" “He Is a splendid surgeon, and his technique with bones, particularly the joints, IS especially skillful. He does not turn handsprings. \. • ” • . |n. < ’ “You sound a little as If you might be put out that he did the operation." ■ *

uisgusted with her own nungiing, angry at all of Clara’s insinuations, Mollie spoke heedlessly. “I askpd him to do the operation!" she snapped. “Yes,’’ said Clara with satisfaction, “everybody thought you must have —” She leered triumphantly at' Mollie who now did get to her feet. She .walked to the end of the room, lit the gold-shaded lamps on the small tables, stood looking up at the books on the shelves, her back ftp Clara whose suggestions were 'go infuriating—and so valid. Most of them. » “Surgery," she said carefully, boldly. “Surgery for cancer of the bone is directly in Dr. Cowan’s field. There is no significance whatever tn his performing such an operation. He is dbing a wonderful work in research, but we all feel—llls friends and associates do —that be should be doing more active Work.” She\ turned around, determined npt to sit down again: perhaps in'V this way she might get rid of her —-tormentor. “You got him to do this operation,”Clara was purring, “a n d maybe you’ll know how to make him Keep on working.” It was the same suggestion Which the Chief had made to —with a difference. ' “There sure is a lot of gossip about al! this,”' Clara went on airily. “You never heard such stories! People go to such lengths! Why, I even heard someone say that Dr. Cowan did the operation out of jealousy for Dr. Shepherd, that you were entirely too fond of Peter, and—.” Mdllie collapsed upon the striped chair# From It she watched her visitor as warily as she might watch a dangerous animal that, if carelessly handled, could emit a foul Stench into thetoom. “I tell them they're silly,” Clara assured Mollie, her manner bright, excited, watchful. “I know you see a lot of Peter, but 1 remind everyone that you are a Staff doctor, while he’s only a resident, and so mudh younger— tie’s just applet polishing when he hangs around you,, You know what I mean?” Mollie should know: she’d used the term herself. "He's a smart boy,” her visitor declared. “He knows ft’s to his advantage to stand in with the Staff doctors. Why, he even took you to meet his mother so she could work on you. And then, there's another i thing: Peter’s got his own girl. | gtiess that’s quite a case. And like ‘ all kids, they don’t show A bit of sense.

CHAPTER THIRTY-NINE MOLLIE could not possibly nave answered Clara's rhetorical question about the wooing ot Peter and Jamd So it was well that Clara swept on, not waiting for a reply. “I don’t know where Janie lives . p" You know, thought Mollie dismally. “But surely there would tfe a place where Peter could see ner. If ne’d kept his rooms with me, he could bring her to, thy house—” She giggled shrilly. “I understand he does take her to the rooms he nas When ne goes oft duty, she meets nun and goes to his apartment with him.

Throwing all caution to the wind, she would seize this civet cat by its neck and throw it out. For once, she would tell Clara Wayne a few of the things she qp badly needed to be told. “Mrs. Wayne!” Mollie was on ■ her feet. Slender In her green robe, her hair shining in the lamplight, her eyes flashing, she proceeded to "tell” Clara, ner voice quiet but clear, her words Incisive. Slowly, Clara stood up: her mouth fell open—she made gasping sounds ot protest, of self-de-fense. of denial— Mollie went 'swiftly across the carpet, up the steps, opened the door. “1 am asking you to leave,” she said firmly. "It wfll do no good to ask you to keep your mouth shut. Your condition is such that 1 realize silence is an impossibility to you. But 1 again call to your attention the danger you rim if you continue—" “Mollie, Mollie! What goes oft here?” Mollie had not heard the elevator.
