THOUGHT: Admonished for his lack of familiarity with twentieth-century science, Sundar Singh said, "What is science?" "Natural selection and survival of the fittest," he was told. "Ah," Sundar Singh replied, "but I am more interested in divine selection and the survival of the unfit." Sadhu Sundar Singh.
WORMS: Long ignored and dismissed as unscientific and crude, are intestinal worms destined to be the future of autoimmune disease treatments? Hookworms. Intestinal parasites. They sound gross. The thought of having one’s gut infected with a parasitic worm generally makes people’s skin crawl. Indeed, intestinal worms, like hookworm, have a bad reputation among health experts, and have been the subject of fierce public health campaigns seeking their eradication. However, researchers have also documented the gut healing abilities of parasites like hookworm.

IRELAND AND LATIN AMERICA
A CULTURAL HISTORY CHAPTER 127
London (Colindale newspapers section), the U.S. Library of the Congress, Harvard, and other
universities associated with the Centre for Research Libraries. Initially designed as a weekly complement to the Standard, the Southern Cross was founded in 1875 by Patrick Joseph Dillon (1842-1889), a controversial Catholic priest who arrived in 1863 in Argentina to serve as the Irish chaplain in the southern districts of Buenos Aires province and the Falkland Islands. With an interest on the support that could be obtained from the landed elite of the Irish community, Fr. Dillon was an influential figure in its internal politics and later in the province of Buenos Aires and the country. Representing a group of conservative Irish and Irish-Argentine landowners, in 1880 Patrick J. Dillon was elected MP in Buenos Aires, and in 1883 senator to the national parliament. He launched the Southern Cross“to supply the want of an Irish and Catholic organ in the country” (circular of November 1874, in Marsha
ll 1996: 13). Succeeding editors Michael Dinneen and William Bulfin imprinted a strong nationalist character to the Southern Cross, and since the editorship of Miguel Quinn –the first Argentine
-born editor –the paper has been exclusively aimed at Irish and other Catholics. The Southern Cross continues to be published as a monthly bulletin addressed to the Irish community in South America. Its contents are eminently Catholic and Irish, with news from Ireland and Australia. In the offices in Buenos Aires there is a complete collection, and certain periods can be consulted in microfilm in Harvard and other universities in the U.S. and Ireland.
