History of medicine. Paulesco.

Nicolas Constantine Paulesco achieved the unrecognised distinction of proving that an unknown but constituent factor of the pancreas controls the physiological value of the blood-sugar of a normal animal and that its absence is the cause of diabetes mellitus. His research in this particular field of medicine was carried out on dogs and his proof was the culmination of years of experimental work of precursors, colleagues and himself. This great advance, perhaps equivalent in some respect to the discovery of the therapeutic virtue of penicillin, remains unacknowledged. An exposition of the facts attendant upon this neglect follows. The reader is left to draw his or her own conclusion regarding the award of the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 1923.

Curiosa paediatrica II.

A small series of a dermal curiosity occurring in children is described. It appears not to have been presented heretofore in medical writings and certainly not in our South African medical literature. The constancy of its presentation suggests strongly a genetic localization for its origin (if not a fanciful one!) and the name foveae scapularum cutaneae bilaterales congenitae in true dermatological fashion is wholly descriptive, ponderous though it be for such light 'residua pennarum'!

Rudolf Virchow and Heinrich Schliemann. An essay on the friendship of two great men.

This essay briefly relates the great friendship between two great men whose origins and curricula vitae differed exceedingly, but whose common scientific interest in archaeology was to unite them closely. Virchow, a medical doctor, and Schliemann, a doctor of science, were able eventually to secure safekeeping for the Trojan treasure discovered by Schliemann, whose contributions to the culture of our Western civilization have not been surpassed. What has happened to the Trojan treasure since the occupation of Berlin is a question still unanswered.

Curiosa paediatrica.

Curious clinical conditions occasionally seen nowadays are most likely to be genetic aberrations. To find something which is curious but not abnormal nor, indeed, uncommon, but left unrecorded in our medical literature, is worth a notice. This is one of a small collection of curiosities, which I have called for academic reasons 'scalae abdominis infantis' (vel infantum) but the Editor has aptly dubbed the 'inbuilt football jersey'.
