one of Penn State's most famous
students is the orchestra leader,
Fred Waring, but it may not be
so well known .about a certain
contributor to the 'field - of
medi
cine named Fred Waring. Yes",

Dancers swaying to his dulcet
strains, radio fans listening to his
harmonies would never suspect it,
but Fred Waring's name must be
added to the list' of laymen who
have served medicine.
His invention is called a "blend
