P: For developing the vaccines which give immunity to yellow fever (8,000,000 U.S. servicemen took the shots in World War II), Dr. Max Theiler, 52, of the Rockefeller Foundation, won the 1951 Nobel Prize in medicine: a gold medal and $32,357. Born in South Africa, Dr. Theiler has lived 29 years in the U.S. Of the award he said: "It looks as though yellow jack got me the jackpot."

P: In Charleroi, Belgium, Gynecologist Jules Hustin had just delivered Mme. Berthe Mahaux of a boy by Caesarean section when her heart stopped. He thrust his hand upward through the Caesarean incision until his fingers could feel the heart. He massaged the heart for five minutes. It began to beat again. Last week Mme. Mahaux and her son went home in good shape.

P:To replace dangerous sleeping pills, Schering Corp. released last week (on prescription only) capsules of a drug named Dormison, which contains no barbiturates or bromides. To more than 1,000 human guinea pigs, Dormison brought restful sleep within half an hour and left no hangover on waking. Anybody who takes even a twentyfold overdose can be revived with caffeine.
