Penicillin Effective By Mouth

®y Hermit M. Bundesen. M. D. > WHEN penicillin was first covered and used in the treatment of disease 1! was xiven by injection tacauiH* when taken by mouth it was destroyed in the stomach. Mon- recently, a number of penicillin preparations hate been made available which can be taken by in out h. and which se<‘<u to be quite elective when administered in this way. Vnfortunstely, as wittt all new so-called "wonti-i ’ dnitrs, many people think that they can take these penicillin pili.'-, for caring practically ell ailments. Os course, medical men know that penicillin is not ett < tive against all diseases. although it Is most useful in treating many infections, among them boils and carbuncles, meiuugitk, pneumonia, pus tn the chest cavity, infected hums, infections of th*, bones and the heart. Trench Mouth It Is useful iu trench mouth, anthrax, actinomycosis, and even diPh t h e ria. infections of the throat, and infectious which develop after teeth at* extracted. But the taking of penicillin when it Is not indicated is in a certain way dangeroSs. By doing so a person may breed within himself strains of werms which become redistant to penicillin. Furthermore, these germs mar be passed on to other persons Then, when infection as a !*-sutt of these germs occurs, the penicillin hi tried and it does not work. Proper Amount When the doctor finds that penicillin Is necessary and bhe proper amount is given. Ute doctor can asSana himself that the germs which are causing the Infection are actually gotten rid of or rendered harmless. But when a person trios to carry out this treatment UlinfU. he cannot be swrc that tte Infection is really eliminated and he nut only may infect others- but bls own condition may gradually become

These boys learned In their military life how- to! attack a problem and get th work ' done. It looks as jf that (if Hill appropriation that enabled so many soldiers to go to school would turn out to be a paying investment for taxpayers. —~—o—O-- — | < Rut-Free Minds:"What I m looking for Just now," i ' writes ('harl-* F 'Boss' Kettering 1 in the current Issue of The Rotarian magazine , "is some finely ' 'educated person who will write j a treatise on 'The Theory of Rut- ' I ology.’ In it I want him to tel! nil that i known about rut whn to I stay in them, when to get out. and. if getting out. bow to do mi without wrecking everything." Kettering, wluec inv*ntions run t om automotive starters to iceI boxes and on to fever machines — ■ I he is direc tor of res-arch for General Motors does not object to ruts because they make roads rough, but because they male roads easy by staying In them. Even the war. thinks Kettering, only provided a change of ruts. ' War hit ns at an intersection," Ist says, "and Jolted u out. Then we quickly went Io work and made some mon* (ruts t—particularly in I cur postwar thinking."

worse The amount <of penicillin to be used will depend on the type of infection present as well as on its seventy. Recent studies by Ihx tors Alden K. Boor and Phillip Mil- j ler of th»- University of Chicago have shown that penicillin not only limo the power to stop the growth of disea e germa and even kill them but it also has an antitoxic effect. That Is, it serves to neutralize or ges rest of the toxin* or poison.- devefoped by germs. Saved From Death These physicians found that by giving penicillin, animals could b saved from death that usually follows the injection of certain poisons produced by the germs whluh <au»<- meningitis. The penicillin will not get rid of th meningococcus poison when the penicillin is mixed with the poison but In some way or another within the body the peuicillin does have tihe t fleet of neutralizing the action of the toxins. Os course, u great deal fuither study will be tiwded to determine exactly what thia newly discovered effect <»f penicillin is and how it may be ntilized to the fullest. Questions and Answers 0.

CHAPTER rHIRTEEN I THE RICHARDSES had a ta- i ble for four on the porch. Next to I it was aMg table, not yet occupied i i Jenny’s pulse quickened Bet that’s i the Hathaways' she told herself She poked Ede She said, "The < I Hathaways wW probably be next i to us. ... 1 ordered a table for eight—and that's eight—and It's the only one left." Ede asked, “Well, what of It?" Oh. heck, thought Jenny, subdued, naturally she isn't all hot and bothered over a dance at the dub Dick’s not here . . - heaven knows where he Is. You ean't expect her to get very exdted about tonight. She thought sitting down. If Steve were here It would bo tike old times—almost. there were many uniforms tn the room, men from the nearest camps and naval bases, and men home on leave. The Rlchardse. were amused Jenny had Httlo time tn which to ea» the routine food of club dinners One bite, and then, “May I?” and Off she went She knew most of the men here on leave, and many stationed near Beahaven recently. Ede knew them, too The Hathaways arrived late enough to make an entrance. Jenny had Just eoncludad a strenuous torn with the Navy when they arrived. She saw them come tn—evidently ail the New York guests had not matertaiiead because there were only four tn the party, Justice ! Mary, their father, a heavy, distfnI gulshed looking man. and another, a younger man whom Jenny did not know. Mary saw them and waved, and a moment later Justice came to their tabta, wnßed at Jenny and a and addressed himself to Rich- . Re asked pleasantly: "WonT you join us? We're rattling around at our table. At the last minute three of our expected nouww cotiitj not com® • a • we'd be moot grateful ... my father has just complained of the lack of feminine company." The Richardses accepted, Richards with a sigh of resignation After all. he saw enough of the Hathaways at the yard. Mrs Richards, however, was eaten with curlositv. She had never met the Hathaway men and her acquaintance with Mary was confined to the Red Cross workroom. They made the change to the target- table and the lons guest was presented. His name was Howard Motgan, he was perhaps 40. and consciously attractive. ... Ede squeezed Jenny's arm. Shu said, in A whisper, -Mary spoke about Mm to me. New York, ecads ©f money, divorced, and very atteattve to her." > Jenny regarded Mr. Morgan critically. She renpoud.jd, “Ho should wear a sign reading 'Danger—wolf the waiter shuffled chairs, brought plates. The fruit cup and e-iup courses were over for the : Richards party, and the Hathaway 1 waived it. They would start

They moved off across the floor and Jenny looked after her sister with envy. But her turn would come later. And she couldn't blame any man for making her second choice. Mary Hathaway was watching, too She had just refused to dance with Mr. Morgan She commented to Jenny, “How well they dance together.” Mary was * good looking young woman She was just 30 Her black hair was as polished as jet, her dark eyes tilted at the corners, and her skin was as good as nature had made, and cosmetics preserved It. She had a smiling, small mouth which always looked amused at something secret He? figure was exceptionally good, and her charm was as much personality as appearance and clothes She wore red It was not a color most women select tn the 'ate spring season It was too warm, x> gay l-ate May called for pastels or white or the sharp contrast of black But Mary •wore red as if she were wrapped in flame. Yet she somehow contrived to look cool, as if no fire could ever warm her. Mr. Morgan, his eyes on Mary, sighed and politely requested Jenny to dance She did so, duitifully suiting her light step to his rather heavy going He made conversation and she listened She watched Ede and Justice when she could; they were dancing, not talking At the table Mary was sitting smoking, looking beautiful and bored and old Mr. Hathaway was talking to the Richardses. The musle halted and the dancers returned to their tables A little later Jenny, duitifully answering questions from the senior Mr Hathaway, who had developed an Interest in the early days of the yard, and, who had, through Richards managed to connect Jenny with the earlier Newtons, looked at her salad and decided that whoever had invented the combination of limp pineapple, macerated lettuce and cream cheese should be shot at dawn. But when the music began again, and Justlc* asked, "How about It?" she Mterally flew from i the table and into his arms. He i asked, smiling. “You like to 1 dance?" I "I love It," she said. i She was silent and happy, danei Ing with him It was the first time i she had been close to him, the first , time her awareness of him was so t sharp, definite and exciting. It was not to be the last, but it was the ' only time she was to take pleasure I in it. ! When they all returned to the table Mary, who bad been dancing , with Morgan—and evidently quarI rellng with him, from his expres- ) ston -taxied acron tbs room and r asked, "Who in the world is that, l just coming in?" _
