An American medical mission, consisting of three physicians from Columbia University, left Palestine for New York today after concluding an inquiry into a new cure for typhoid fever developed by two Jewish refugee scientists here.
It is claimed that the discovery, by Drs. Richard Marberger and Felician Zipser, will reduce the duration of the disease and sharply out the death rate. The Columbia delegation consisted of Drs. Alexander Ghiselin, Alfred Szeiner and Anton Phelps.
