Heinerman showcases the talents of the famous Dr. Denis Parsons Bnrkitt of London. Serving in Afriea, he diseovered a viral tumor in Afriean children, which came to be known as Burkitt s lymphoma. He also imcovered the fact that dietary fiber aets against colon cancer and other intestinal diseases. 

Another significant discovery by Dr. Bnrkitt, previously cited but mostly gone nimoticed by the medical profession, is that just a little bit of chemotherapy goes a long way in reducing cancerous tumors. 

During his time in Africa, Dr. Burkitt went on to utihze several new chemotherapy dmgs that, as it turned out, worked suceessfully against a variety of eaneers. These dmgs included methotrexate, cyelophosamide (also called endoxan and cytosan), and vincristine. Some of his testimony is provided. 

Heinerman s following chapter is titled Vegetarianism — A New Cancer Diet Scientifically Snpported.  

Another interesting item supplied is that reducing caloric intake also reduces the chances for cancer.

The term bitumen is used in France to designate petroleum products, as in Great Britain and Germany. In the United States on the other hand, the equivalent material is designated by the expression asphalt-cement . In France, asphalt is a mastic, a mixture of bitumen and powdered minerals, poured in place. This mixture can be either natural or reconstituted by an industriai process. Asphait (French meaning) is utilized on roads, particularly in urban centers as well as for sidewalk surfacing. 

In 1986, the Academy of Sciences of Ukraine started publishing on a regular basis, the Technical Diagnostics and Prediction of Welded Metal Structures Fracture collection, which in 1989 was reorganised into the Technical Diagnostics and Non-Destructive Testing Journal. This journal is now issued 4 times a year and re-edited in Great Britain. 

The principal ore of lead is galena, PbS. Although there are some galena deposits in Great Britain, much of this country s requirements must be imported. In the extraction of lead, the sulphide ore is first roasted together with quartz in a current of air ... 

The interchangeability of joints is ensured by the use of a standard taper of 1 in 10 on the diameter (i.e., a cone of semi-angle 2° 51 45 ) and limited tolerances on the cone semi-angles and the dimensions of the joints. The specifications for joints in Great Britain and the U.S.A. differ. It will accordingly be necessary to treat each separately. 

The action of sulphuric acid alone upon acetone cyanohydrin affords a-methylacrylic acid. The methyl methacrylate polymers are the nearest approach to an organic glass so far developed, and are marketed as Perspex (sheet or rod) or Dialcon (powder) in Great Britain and as Plexiglass and Luciie in the U.S.A. They are readily depolymerised to the monomers upon distillation. The constitution of methyl methacrylate polymer has been given as ...

Most of the acetic acid is produced in the United States, Germany, Great Britain, Japan, France, Canada, and Mexico. Total annual production in these countries is close to four million tons. Uses include the manufacture of vinyl acetate [108-05-4] and acetic anhydride [108-24-7]. Vinyl acetate is used to make latex emulsion resins for paints, adhesives, paper coatings, and textile finishing agents. Acetic anhydride is used in making cellulose acetate fibers, cigarette filter tow, and ceUulosic plastics.

Precipitators are currently used for high collection efficiency on fine particles. The use of electric discharge to suppress smoke was suggested in 1828. The principle was rediscovered in 1850, and independently in 1886 and attempts were made to apply it commercially at the Dee Bank Lead Works in Great Britain. The installation was not considered a success, probably because of the cmde electrostatic generators of the day. No further developments occurred until 1906 when Frederick Gardiner Cottrell at the University of California revived interest (U.S. Pat. 895,729) in 1908. The first practical demonstration of a Cottrell precipitator occurred in a contact sulfuric acid plant at the Du Pont Hercules Works, Pinole, California, about 1907. A second installation was made at Vallejo Junction, California, for the Selby Smelting and Lead Company. 

A trained gemologist, taught by the Gemological Institute of America of Santa Monica, Cahf., and New York, the Gemmological Association of Great Britain of London, or elsewhere, is needed for identification of treated gems. This topic is also discussed in textbooks (19—21). In some materials the induced change is the exact equivalent of a process that also occurs naturally, so that such treatments caimot be identified. 

With the beginning of the industrial revolution around 1800, oil became increasingly important for lubrication and better illumination. Expensive vegetable oils were replaced by sperm whale oil [8002-24-2], which soon became scarce and its price skyrocketed. In 1850 lubrication oil was extracted from coal and oil shale (qv) in England, and ultimately about 130 plants in Great Britain and 64 plants in Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Kentucky employed this process. 

Acetylene traditionally has been made from coal (coke) via the calcium carbide process. However, laboratory and bench-scale experiments have demonstrated the technical feasibiUty of producing the acetylene by the direct pyrolysis of coal. Researchers in Great Britain (24,28), India (25), and Japan (27) reported appreciable yields of acetylene from the pyrolysis of coal in a hydrogen-enhanced argon plasma. In subsequent work (29), it was shown that the yields could be dramatically increased through the use of a pure hydrogen plasma. 

The US. Pharmacopeia (USP XXII) or National Formula (NFXVII) (20) also provide a similar description however, the peroxide value is not defined (Table 9). These specifications are also given in the Handbook of Pharmaceutical Excipients (HPE), pubhshed jointiy by the American Pharmaceutical Association and The Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain (21), which defines lecithins both from plants and eggs. The Merck Index (22) specifies a slightiy lower acid value. The Japanese Monograph (ISCI-II) (23) specifies a slightiy lower acetone-insoluble matter and a lower heavy-metal content.

The Anglo-Saxon invaders introduced the art to Great Britain, and as Tacitus stated, "Eor drink they use the Hquid distilled from barley or wheat after fermentation has given it a certain resemblance to wine." As early as 1295 AD, the abbots of Burton-on-Trent used the local water which is especially suited for brewing ale and beer.
