Penicillin in Ointment Base

By Herman N. Bundesen, M. 0. PENICILLIN has proved to he each a wonderworker against scrloua genei al infection* that everyone will be glad when it can he added to the family medicine chest as a weapon against infected cuts, burnt,. and other akin disorders. Penicillin might Im compared to, a human genius, marvelous in his own line, but temperamental and unstable and requiring special handling. The problem has always been to get it to "stay put” in an easily applied substance. Cream or Ointment Now, lira, Philip Greey and Harvey D. Hebh of Canada report that penicillin can be successfully (added to a cream or to an ointment and thus, spread directly on iSfeeted skla to hasten its cure. These physicians made Up various creams and ointments, some of lanolin, some of wax. some of stearic acid, some of mineral oil. sterilized them and then added punhilllti. In a number of the preparations, the penicillin seemed to retain its potency or power to heal, for two or three weeks when stored at cold temperatures. Used Promptly None of the preparations appeared sufficiently stable to permit manufacturing large quantities at a time, in other words. It wosld appear advisable, if a penicillin cream or ointment is to be used, that it be nSadv up fresh and used promptly. Ora must also he taken to keep l>enl<:l!lin creams and ointments sterile, since molds may get into thc-ffi and destroy the penicillin. This Is done by uot patting saything Which to net sterile Into the

The Idea sounds good * and with a lift here and lhere. t something worthwhile could be i planned and c*rried through. ‘ Nearly everytui In thl* connlry , has in some way been touched by the Red Cross In the years of the war. Its services have been innum- ' erable. Every family is grateful ’ to It. Rut somtlmes people forget d that these services <*o*t money The Red Cross functions all the time. In peace as well as war. Fire ’ and flood, any disaster, bring out Its help. Its overseas relief prog ram for the next year ha* been greatly ln< reased. but it will also be ready for any trouble at home Convalescent soldiers will have their days made pleasanter by it, their troubles lightened Only once a year does the Red Cross ask for aid.

Residents of the various Hicksville* <there are four. In New York. North Carolina, Ohio and Virginia) have sometimes been tin'easy about th name of their com- , inunity, and wanted to change it. They should remember that many i names originally given in derision have hewn seized ut>on by th< bearers and turned into an honor Tory, the name of an old and often triumphant English party, originally meant '■bog-trotter” and was bestowed as anything but a coin-plim-nt. Their rivals the Whig*, whose name was later adopted by a great American party, wore the designation originally attached to humhle Scottish drovers And tn th* 16th century, when th Dutch nobles who resisted King Philip II of Spain were contemptuously dubbed ‘'beggar*", they took up the name iu defiant -, and made it honored. The ridicule sometimes associated with names like Podnnk eventually wear away. If the community is a good one to live in. Its inhabitant* need not be disturbed about the name.

Jar containing the penicillin preparation. When penicillin cream was spread on Infected burns, It was found that It began to lose Its latency after about 4* hours. Hence, a dally change of dressings would appear necessary, at the least ev- ' cry two days. In impetigo, a skin disease, and in Infections of (he beard, good 1 results were obtained. Blnrs Infections Penicillin cream was also used for treating sinus infections In . doing this, the doctors injected a ' small amount of the penicillin cream into the affected sinus every two or three days Before each injectlou the creum remaining from 1 the previous treatment was washed out with salt water. » In a few cases, a skin rash oc-l ( f urred on the area where the penicillin was applied. Since it would i appear that these patients were , sensitive either to the penicillin I or something in the cream base, , the chances for development of 1 this skin irritation should be borne In mind whenever a penicillin cream is to be used for ten days or longer. Penicillin in the home medicine cabinet is still In the future but ; It can be stated that doctors are overlooking no chance to make full , use of the great nhw Iteallug drug. As time methods of..uYQU..nc As time goes oh. it Is (Mtsslble that new methods of applying It will be learned, and that new uses for the methods we now have will be discovered. (Copyright. 1846.
