AB NEW CELLS FOR OLD 
    FOR "WELL-HEELED" OLDSTERSPopular magazines recently have published many articles on the subject of health and disease. Occasionally the editors of certain magazines publicize an unestablished remedy, which brings it to the attention of the public as a medical discovery of alleged value in one or more disease categories.Such an item has appeared in Coronet, a popular pocket-sized magazine; it covered the methods and claims of Dr. Paul Niehans, a Swiss physician. The editors noted that "Cellular therapy is a startling European treatment for old age and a wide variety of diseases. Because this medical technique is controversial and still unproven, Coronet asked Dr. Herbert S. Benjamin, an American physician and medical researcher, to discuss it with its discoverer, Dr. Paul Niehans of Switzerland, and to observe his work and evaluate the use of cellular therapy by many physicians in Western Europe..."Dr. Paul Niehans
