Simplified method of infant feeding: Bacteriologic and clinical study

Summary A simplified method of infant feeding using evaporated milk and HOT tap water from a city source, with or without added carbohydrates, has been subjected to bacteriologic and clinical testing. These tests indicate that if the method outlined is carefully followed, single feedings so prepared are bacteriologically and clinically safe.

The direct surgical attack on pulmonary stenosis in the tetralogy of Fallot.

Summary Thirty consecutive patients with the tetralogy of Fallot have been operated upon, using a direct intracardiac approach to relieve the pulmonary stenosis. Twenty-three patients have survived and the results have been very satisfactory. The over-all mortality rate was 23.3 per cent, the operative mortality rate being 20 per cent. The objections to this direct relief of the stenosis are briefly reviewed and its advantages summarized.
