| Keywords: people Lot-9429-18: Nuns Turn American Beach Resort Into Marine Life “Miracle” Laboratory. Once a playground of the rich, the exclusive Oasis Club in Palm Beach, California, is now a laboratory where Nuns of the Dominican Order are doing one of America’s best jobs in scientific research. Among their discoveries is a salve which heals the most severe body burns without resorting to skin-grafting and without leaving a scar; a method where diabetes may be treated without an injection; a process for the absorption of vitamins through the skin; and improved methods of tuberculosis control. Their chief quarry, however, is a method of controlling cancer, and toward this goal they have made great strides, chiefly by experimental work with the cells of marine life. Shown: Sister Mary Redempta tests a set of nanometers, which are gas-measuring flasks used to record the rate at which animal cells use oxygen. Office of War Information Photograph, 5-8 May 1942. Original photograph is small. (2015/12/18). Lot-9429-18: Nuns Turn American Beach Resort Into Marine Life “Miracle” Laboratory.
