Using Penicillin in a Spray

By Herman N. Bundesen, M. 0. WHEN you speak of a cold or sore throat you mean exactly the same thing that doctors do when they refer knowingly to upper respiratory infection. These days the atilfonamide drugs are often used to treat such conditions, in the opinion of Drs. Elijah E Menefee, Jr., and Robert J. Atwell of Duke University, however. penicillin is much more advisaide in many cases !a«causc so many people become sensitive to the sulfonamide drugs. Penicillin Applied Locally For treatment of upper respira tory infections they think the penicillin should not be taken by mouth or given by injection, but rather applied locally to the nose and throat. in colds the nose and throat were sprayed three or four times each day for three days. Bixty-wtx patients were treated if was often found advisable to use some solution in the nose such as ephedrine to shrink the nasal membranes before spraying the penicillin. It was found that this treatment was not of much value in overcoming the symptoms of a cold but apparently did aid in preventing complications such as sinus infection. •ore Throat Patients Flfty-oga pgtiagts with »ore throat were treated with penicillin by spryma every three hours- Th*

Chances art that as much traffic moves serose the Monroe sad Second street intersection as any i, similar corner in the city. I’eder trlans cross from one side of the 1 street to the other and frequently ! near mishaps have occurred. Walk . Ing with the signal lights is the 1 proper way to proceed, keeping an eye to the side for the driver ; ■ who is making a right turn be hind you. ! The Indianapolis Star, editorial ly remarks: "Hoosier taxpayers I will now save considerable sums which have been paid in old-age ' assistance. The measure passed by the last legislature, which permits a lieu for state recovery from estates of old age beneficiaries is now in effect. It strikes at the greedy, soulless child who neglects needy parents but still hopes 1 to Inherit the full amount of their j estate." State Welfare Depart--1 inetit officials estimate that about s,mm persons will waive the benefits at a saving of about two million dollars to the taxpayers. 0 o Since we didn't have a primary election, party liarmoiidy should prevail. Often in a primary, certain fai tions "go gunning* for the other fellow and the losers then “get even" in the general elecI tiou by voting for the opposing candidate. This should hot be the case in Decatur this year, for the landidates did not incur political enemies in a primary campaign As citixens we should select those best qualified to administer and carry through the very important projects on the council table. o o Disposition of one of the world's most famous stones, the big Hope Diamond, was of great I intere.it after the death of its owner, Evalyn Walsh McLean of Washington. Whether or not she held it responsible for the tragedies in her life, she would never permit any of her family to touch I it. Even from the grave she has tried to protect them from it. for 20 years at least, during which time it is to repose in a bank vault. Those extraordinary jewels, of which there are only a few in the world - the Hope, the Keh-i-Noor, the Star of the South- are not even very beautiful. They are surprisingly dull and uninterest-1 ing as adornment. It is doubtful whether the pleasure of wearing them compensates for the trouble and expense of insuring them and taking care of them. The girl with the small, sparkling diamond in her treasured engagement ring undoubtedly gets more pleasure out of wearing it than any wealthy woman ever got out of a jewel of the size and costliness of the Hope Diamond.

patients had su< b symptoms as redness of the throat, and slight fever, although none of them seemed very HI. Twenty-nine of the patients reported marked improvement in their condition within 12 to 24 hours after the treatment wax started Nine patients suffering from soptic sore throat, a condition caused by hemolytic streptococci were also treated by spraying with the penicillin. All of these patients were improved within 12 hours and were apparently well within 36 hours. •praying with Penicillin it would ap|>ear that spraying with the penicillin is of great value also in clearing up many carriers of hemolytic streptococci. In five persons who were such carriers the penicillin spray eliminated the condition within two days. Trench mouth also responded quickly to this form of treatment Immediately upon a diagnosis, the patients were treated by spraying of the mouth and gums. Then they were given a solution of penicillin to use as a mouth wash. Within an average time of three and onetenth days, the condition was cleared up In all cases Thus. It would appear that the use of-a penicillin solution in the mouth and nose may be of value in a number infection*. though, uo jueklly, it doe* hot do much agatus' that greatest of nuisanceiisukefs, tie common cold-

CHATTER TWENTY-SEVEN VAL GLANCED at her mother inquiringly. “What is it you don’t understand about Sherry? And who is th person who'd be so much worse for her than Joel Pemberton? You’ve got my curiosity thoroughly aroused ” Leda sighed. “It’s one of those situations that’s rather hard to describe. Besides, I may be attaching more importance to the whole matter than it deserves. After all, Steve assures me he’s in love with another girl, that they are engaged—" “Steve’s engaged ?” Vai demanded incredulously. “Oh. no," her mother denied. •"This Lex Morell, who works for Steve." She went on, then, to tell Vai something about Lex, to put intr words almost doubtfully the interest in him she suspected Sherry of feeling. “Os course, 1 hope I'm wrong. I only saw them together once, that last weekend I spent at the farm. But—there’s a sort of change in Sherry. I can't quite describe it And she goes to Steve's much more often than she used to—more often than I feel she should.” "Wh”?" Vai demanded. She leaned back and stared at her mother and there was a curious coolness in her dark eyes. “Why do you feel that Sherry's actions concern you? Isn't she old enough to know what she's doing?” “But, darling," Leda objected. "I’ve just finished explaining. He's nothing but a farm hand, really, although he’s personable enough and not badly educated. But even if be buys a little farm as he Intends"—she spread her hands tn an expressive gesture—"and besides, he’s In love with another girl. So naturally I hate to see Sherry™" “Isn’t It Sherry’s affair, though?” Vai interrupted flatly. "Isn’t the whole thing up to her to decide?" “Weil, at course, dear. But naturally I’m anxious. Any mother would be. If she saw her daughter tn danger of getting involved in a situation that could only lead to unhappiness." Rather shockingly Vai laughed. Leda stared at her, startled. Vai said, “There’s something very familiar about that remark. It’s the same sort of thing you said to me when Rick and I wanted to get married before he went away.” Her voice was harsh. Leda sat staring at her, momentarily speechless. “Hasn't it struck a chord In your memory when you've said these things to Sherry?” Vai asked. “You have said them to her, of course?” “Vai you have no right to talk to me like thia." Leda objected. ' Isn't it natural and right for a

mother to want her children to lie happy ? That's why I’ve spoken to Sherry—why I pointed out what might lie ahead if you married Rick.” “I'd have found out for myself," Vai said, still in that flat harsh voice, the curious lack of inflection in which made her words so forceful. “It would have been a complete thing. Finished, yes—but rounded and whole—not broken off before it ever started.” She thought, but did not ml? aloud. Then I wouldn’t be under a sort of spell with Kevin Blake —not knowing whether I love him or not—unable to make up my mind—unfair to him and to myself—getting in deeper and deeper and not being able to see bow it will end. Leda said, “But, Vai—hasn’t time proved m. right in your case? Ixxjk how much better off you are, happily married, with a husband who loves you, who gives you everything !n the world." Vai opened her Ups to speak and then thought better of IL What purpose would be served In telling her mother that all was not as serene with her and Wade's marriage as it seemed* Besides, if she said the things she felt like saying, they’d end In an unholy row. And what would be the point in that? So Vai satisfied herself with murmuring, “Oh. skip IL But I wish you’d leave Sherry alone. Let her make her own mistakes, if they are mistakes. Give her a chance to work things out for herself.” Vai didn’t suppose it would do any good, but she had to try. After that the conversation got back into less controversial channels. Vai didn't stay very late and Leda was just as glad. It bad been pleasant to see her, but sometimes she simply did not understand Vai Besides, she had a very heavy day lined up at ths store for tomorFOW sea It was a couple of weeks later that Sherry, summoned to the phone late one afternoon by the maid, was surprised to hear Lex Morell's voice on the wire.

When be stopped speaking, Sherry said a shade doubtfully, *'Bhe’s—back in town now?” “Yes, she got back last week. And I’d like to have you meet each other—to get acquainted. I’d like" —be plunged—“to take you both to dinner tonighL What do you say, Sherry?” After a second oho asked, "Would Kay like that?" "Sure she would,” Lex said heartily. “It’s fine with her.” Sherry thought, You would ask her first But—why etwmiiJn’t you ? She’s the gif! you love, the one you're going to marry. Tse just a friend. Aloud she said, “Why—lt would bo fine with me, too, Lex. I’d like very much to meet her.” "Good.” He sounded pleased. “I was afraid you might already have an engagement” "No, I’m quite free." He ssld, “I’ve got Steve’s ear. I’ll pick Kay up, then call for you. Okay?” “Okay. What tlme?” ”Around seven?" Lex said with a rising inflection. “TO be ready.” They said good-bye then and Sherry hung up, experiencing a curious mixture of emotions. She felt at once eager and reluctant Kay Winninger—only a name to her before. The name of the girl Lex loved. Now she was to assume solidity, to acquire a definite personality. Sherry would know the color of her eyes and hair, the shape of her features, not through Lex's eyes, but through her own. She wasn't sure she wanted it that way, but she bad committed hcrsc’f and there was nothing she could do. Except go ahead and get ready, as she had agreed to do, get ready to meet Lex and Kay. She would dress carefully, i Sherry thought. She wanted to look her bciL Was Kay' Already beginning, somewhere, la dress carefully, too? It was going to be quite odd, really. Why would a ’ man want to bring together the i girl he loved and the girt who i loved him? Os course, Sherry re- ; minded herself. Lex didn't know I she loved him. That took away a I little of th; strangeness. She would wear her fuchsia wool ’ drees, Sherry decided. Black hat, black suede gloves and pumps, the I silver fox jacket her mother had given her for Christmas. But Lex i probably wouldn’t notice liow she • looked when Kay was there. May- ; be, Sherry thought, she would like Kay, despite the difference in their viewpoints. She wanted to like ’ her, she was certainly going to i try. She would try to make Kay ; like her, too. i Excitement and anticipation rose I in Sherry, crowding out all other I feelings. . (To Bo Coattaued)
