One test, made at the Radcliffe Infirmary in Oxford, " identified two areas of the UK in which the incidence of stomach cancer was particularly high and two in which it was particularly low. People attending hospitals in these areas as visitors rather than patients were asked to provide samples of saliva. The hypothesis suggested that samples from the high-risk areas should contain more nitrite and nitrate than those from the low-risk areas, but this was not so. The samples from the low-risk populations had nitrate concentrations 50% greater than those from the high-risk areas.

Delighted by the certainty that I had anthrax, I presented my theory to the Post Infirmary doctor. I even brought along the sandals, hoping he would have them tested for the presence of anthrax spores. He seemed to accept my reasoning and prescribed a course of penicillin. After I had taken it for ten days, there seemed to be no improvement - in fact, my itchy blister was getting worse.

Studies in animals clearly indicate that prostaglandins can produce fever when injected into the central nervous system and that Cox-2 induction is responsible for the fever that occurs with bacterial endotoxin and cytokines. To address the potential for an antipyretic effect in humans, Schwartz et al. (1999) administered rofecoxib or ibuprofen to young adults who presented to an infirmary for acute, nonbacterial... 

We do not believe that Morton v. The New York Eye and Ear Infirmary is sufficient to establish the principle that all methods involving treatment of the body are thereby not patentable. The patent in that case was held invalid because the material used in the method was old, the step of inhaling the material was old, and the material had been inhaled by persons before in other words, all aspects of the method, the procedure, the material used, and the subject treated, were old in combination, and the novelty consisted solely in the discovery of the effect produced. ... 

The defense had requested that documentary evidence be obtained to verify Freimark s illness. The Court received such papers the day before the verdict was handed down, and beheved it had reason to rejoice. The documents that had been located - medical papers from concentration camp Auschwitz - proved, it said, that the witness, Freimark, had been examined in the Inmate s Infirmary in August and September 1944 for suspected typhus. It was felt that, aside from eyewitness testimony that needed to he artificially lauded to the skies, one had now finally found some material (even though presumptive) evidence that might serve as spur to the intent to convict circumstantial...

In his Yad Vashem report,47 Freimark gives a detailed account of his stay in the infirmary while continuing to recover from his illness. According to Freimark, this rather lengthy stage of convalescence coincided with the time of the transports from Lodz - in other words, August/September 1944. This, in turn, coincides perfectly with his statement that he had fallen ill in late May 1944. 

Freimark was in the infirmary by June 1944 at the latest. Only in this way could he have observed Klehr at his misdeeds when his illness began to abate, i. e., in July 1944 at the latest.
