any formal qualifications prior to the demonstration with ether is also confirmed. Interweaving the traditional story with his new information, Wolfe leads the reader through a very different tale of the introduction of ether by a man not conditioned by scientific training and lacking in moral principles. The notion is raised that it was Charles T Jackson who put the idea for the use of ether i...

Accurate and reliable methods for the quantitative measurement of the growth of pleuropneumonia-like organisms have never been developed. Studies on members of this group of organisms have advanced in recent years to the stage at which further developments will be impeded by the lack of such methods. Generally techniques employed for rapid quantitation of bacterial growth, such as turbidity, pa...

Sialic acid has been demonstrated in the blood platelets of man and other species (1, 2), but its function in these elements is unknown. Jerushalmy, Kohn, and de Vries (3) and others (4, 5) have shown that Myxoviruses are adsorbed to and eluted from blood platelets. Bacterial neuraminidase, which liberates free sialic acid by cleavage of the a-ketosidic linkage between terminal sialic acid and ...

Bruce Morton’s early research career was centred on the dynamics of plumes, which is the focus of most of this article. As described below, the process of entrainment plays an important role in plume dynamics, at least in the mathematical models he studied. And in his teachings he made a point of emphasising the importance of vorticity in understanding fluid flow. ‘Vorticity is the flow field’,...

Richard Morton was one of the outstanding physicians of the seventeenth century. After graduating BA at Oxford he elected to enter the Church, becoming ultimately Vicar of Kinver in Staffordshire. On the Restoration he found himself unable to comply with the requirements of the Act of Uniformity and was ousted from his Staffordshire living. He disappeared for eight years but reappeared in 1670 ...
