NEW DELHI: Information has been received by the Public Health Commissioner with the Government of India that the Government of Palestine [has] imposed quarantine restrictions on account of cholera against persons arriving from Cawnpore and Delhi by air. In order to avoid possible delay and inconvenience at the port of debarkation, passengers leaving Cawnpore and Delhi by air for Palestine are advised to be in possession of cholera inoculation certifications showing that inoculation has been performed not less than six days and not more than six months prior to arrival.
[Meanwhile, as reported from New York,] First man to keep alive animal tissues outside the animal’s body was French-born Nobel Prize winner Professor Alexis Carrel of New York’s Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research. Cutting out animal organs, he kept them alive in a glass by continually pouring liquids over them. Now comes word that Russia has taken the work a big step forward. Professor N.P. Sinitsin of Moscow’s Gorky Medical Institute has successfully replaced one frog’s heart by that of another frog. Comrade Sinitsin has developed a method of speedily sewing up blood vessels, ensuring aseptic conditions, minimum loss of blood and the smallest possible surgical injury. — Dawn Delhi
