Newest of the Wonder Drugs

By Herman N. Bundessn, M.D. Just as the proof of the pud ding is in the eating. .<> the final teat of a new medicine i* in the sick room. Lalioratory scientists are th*' discoverers, but killing germa in a test tube is a very different thing from routing them in the body. This is why the real job of exploration belongs to the doctors. It is they who mint man out the limits ot a new limit's usefulness; who must determine how much to give •nd how best to give II; establish aafeguarde and chart the whole Course which leads to healing. Newest Drug One of these itn|H>rtant exploration* has recently been condcted at the Mayo Clinic by Doctors Wallace E. Herrell and Donald R. Nichols regarding that newcomer among the modern wonder drugs streptomycin. Like peWtctiUn. it teems to have great value in treating a number of different infections. especially those involving lh> kidnoy and biadder, the windpipe and lunga. In addition, It has also been found useful in meningitis or inflammation of the membranes enclosing the brain and spinal cord. The work reported by the two Mayo Clinic doclorw in treating 15 patients with various ailments with streptomycin does much tn give a more precise knowledge of its usefulness. Daily doses ranged from 100,000 to t.ooo.tioo units, depending on the nature of the infection and toe way toe drug was administered For the latter, several methods Were used, injection into ■ muscle. »der the skin or into a vein; by •wot and by spraying into toe nose.

ganlzallon Under hl* leadership the Pont will continue to render community aervlce and aid the veteran. The past year’s activities. Including the mass Induction of t several hundred members, ware ! spearheaded by Floyd Hunter, * who retires a* post commander. * ——-o —oThe proposed OPA bill is about ’ bu<k where it started before the law was passed and vetoed. The •i senate hm voted In favor of the amendment that remove* price r ! control* on incut, poultry, egg* ,'and foi sis made from them. ’ Chance* are that congress will let the bill drift for a while, keep Ing an eye on the price rise und hoping that supply catches up with the demand. In the meantime prices go upward. —o—-o--— The Indiana Internal Revenue Office collected more than !•••<• million dollars in taxes and exelse* during the fiscal year ending lust June 30. The amount is a little under the previous year’s collection, but still I* an astounding figure Heading the list I* the tax paid on distilled spirits niaintlactured in the state, with corporation and individual taxes ranking second and third. In the lasi 11 years, federal taxes ot all sort, jgmped from 164.113,352 Io 1'.m0,030,738.03 in the -tale. — o -o -— Canada sees immediate advantage to her in eliminating the ex- < hange rate of ten per cent. By I buying American products. Also raising the value of her currency, she ha*, in effect, cut the cost of she cut* the advantage of American tourists who have flocked north during the war years and garnered whatever they could of products les* scarce in Canada than In the United States. This may well lessen the demand for Canadian goods, and thus lessen I the inflationary pressure on their prices. —o—o It's doubtful if veteran's organizations will be satisfied with the bond plan of payment for unused furlough time dm the enlisted men of the armed forces. While the senate committee has approved a measure calling for cash payments under IJo. the bulk of the money due the Veteran would be Issued In bonds, payable in five years and. bearing two and onehalf percent interest. The drive will more than likely be made to make all payments in cash, the financing ot the three billion dollar bill being up to congress and treasury official*.

Results Obtained Good rerult* were olitalm-d in 26 doubtful remits in 12, and the treatmt-nl (ailed in 7 instance*. No Meriuu* roactkHM occurred in any of th- p.itb-nm treated. Given over a long period of time, the drug sometime* produced * rash, but thia disappeared whet, the treatment was stopped. Eight patients hud an infection of the blood stream. A’l recovered with the streptomycin treatment. in two patient* with infections due to the brucella germ which causes undulant fever, the atreptomycin treatment was of no apparent benefit. In 10 out of 13 patient*! who had infections of the kidney and bladder, good results were obtain**!. Th* length of treatment varied from 4 to 17 day*, it would appear that when the urine I* kept alkaline, the streptomycin is more effective in it* action. In 4 out of 5 patients with an infection of the lungs, the streptomycin gave Hatlsfacto ry result* when It was bn-»lh*-d into the lunge. Large do»e* ot streptomycin did not have any effect, in 4 cases of syphilis. In 4 cases ot Influenzal meningitis. a cure resulted with th* stn-ptomycin treatment. Three of the eases were due to the influenzal organism known u> Type B. The exact variety of the organism In the fourth case was not determined. Thus it would seem that streptouiydu will prove to be another potent weapon In the hands ot the physician for overcoming a variety of infections. However, a great deal further work is necessary with this preparation to determine its exact value.

They should be taken in after the frost has destroyed th« top*, but before the ground is frozen Place them outside in water until frozen solid, then bring them in the house and allow them to thaw slowly. In about sixty days they will begin to grow again. Egg Stains Before washing the articles, always souk the egg spots in cold water, or sponge the spotted places. Part of the egg can often be scraped off with a knife. Ice Cream Do not fill the ice cream freezer more than two-thirds full of the mixture. This will give It room for expansion.

Unusual strength of straw and ability to stand for seven to lit days at least after the gruin is dead ripe give the farmer opportunity for diiecl c mibinillg before the straw starts to break. These oats have all the disease resistance of Tama and Vicland, now widely grown in the county, have superior test weight, und at least equal yielding ability. Clinton is about two inches taller, and Benton about eight Inches taller than Tama. Farmers attending the oats de monstration at the Harold Schwartz farm In Monroe township were favorably impressed with these oats in comparison with the more wide ly grown varieties. A few farmer* will be able to get certified seed of the new varieties for 1947 planting Nitrogen top dressing on both oats and wheat this spring Is showing excellent results Where used with no other fertilizer on soils low In nitrogen, yields have shown remarkable increases. Oats fertilized with 300 pounds per acre of 3-12-12 look much better than those with 0-12-12. The 12-12-12 looks still better than 3-12-12. On soils rich In nitrogen, however, 12 f : nitrogen in more than is needed, and may cause lodging. Farmers are likely to la- interested in larger applications for all grains in the future.
