Hot Rabbits

Feverish rats and rabbits scamper about the Research Laboratory of General Electric Co.. Schenectady. N. Y. No common fever but one artificially induced, by short-length ether waves, makes them suffer.

Researcher E. L. Manning of General Electric told listeners at the Engineers Club. Philadelphia, last week: "We have learned to build vacuum tubes which broadcast such a short-length wave (1 in.) that people in the neighborhood will have their blood temperatures raised."

Value of this discovery lies in the probability that fever is a natural attempt of the body to kill off bacteria that are attacking it. By getting the jump on nature. Researcher Manning believes he will be able to cure ordinary colds, prevent pneumonia, treat other maladies.

Rabbits and rats, infected with diseases similar to human ills, have apparently been cured by this method. Danger lies in the fact that fever waves might easily be developed into death waves.
