p. 30 · Read in the full issue
A young Washington scientist, Dr. N.
H. Topping, has developed a serum which is giving good results against the deadly “Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever”, which attacks—and mostly kills—l,ooo Ameri cans a year. This tick-borne virus is believed to be related to the deadly and mysterious New Guinea disease called “Japanese River Fever”; and, if Dr. Top ping’s serum is successful in America, it may yet assist in taking the terror out of the Morobe jungles.
These young Marist Mis sion teachers, Brothers Augustine, Ervan and Donatus, sailed from Sydney recently for mis sionary service in the Western Pacific. One will be stationed at Marau training school for native catechists, on Guadal canal, BSI; the other two have gone to Chabai training centre, Buka Passage, TNG. —Photo: “Catholic Freeman’s Journal.”
