Penicillin Aids Acute Sinus Infection

By Herman N. Bundesen, M. D., TO people who read headlines, penicillin may seem an old story, but to the exact and precise doctor, it is one which deepens in interest with each new extension of this wonder drug’s usefulness. When penicillin was first introduced, nobody thought it would have any effect when applied locally to the tissues. Since then, however, research has shown that penicillin can be taken into the body through the lungs and that when administered in this way as an aerosol it has great power to heal infections. By aerosol is meant something which can be breathed. To get penicillin into a breathable form, special apparatus is required to mix it with oxygen. When sprayed out as a fine mist, this mixture can travel along the whole respiratory tract and penetrate to the farthest and tiniest tubes of the lungs. Drs. Rodolfo Godinez and Raul Infante of Cuba, who have used penicillin in this way, report ex cellent results in a large variety of respiratory infections. The aerosol penicillin treatment is of value in infections of the res»piratory tract such as the throat' and lungs due to germs which are sensitive to penicillin. This treatment seems to be superior to the use of penicillin by injection because it is less painful .and in addition the oxygen has some benefit in the lung infections. The

gas taxes. This wind-fall of mone; can be used by local communitie in the repair of streets and high J. ways, providing it is appropriated . and is shared because total col st lections exceed 33 million dollars ** this year. We spend a lot of monej r. lt in ' this country for gasoline and travel far in the pursuit of business ax and pleasure. o o— — 11 The Community Fund, Inc., drive E will be launched at a kick-off dinner on October 24 and Harold ' “General” Grant will complete his i- organization for the soliciation of :- donations to the $11,360 budget. Decatur has supported this fund in a generous manner through the years and there is every reason to believe that it will go over the top i in the week’s campaign to be conducted from October 28. Our children and high school youths del pend on us to “come through,” for I without the Community Fund all ■ the worthwhile activities carried on here will cease, unless other arrangements are made. With one drive, all others are eliminated. —— o o one or America s famous national structures is the Golden Gate Bridge at San Francisco. As ai landmark it is to the West coast what the Statute of Liberty is to the Atlantic ports. Its overall length of almost 9,(T00 feet makes it the longest span in the world, and it towers almost 750 feet high. Perhaps the most amazing thing about it is that it is built to stand a sway of 10 feet to each side. The swaying motion is recorded on eight machines situated at intervals across the main span. Since mankind first hit upon the arch and learned the basic principles of stress and strain, bridge-building has captivated his imagination. Bridges represent mankind's first conquests of nature. o o Russia’s persistent refusal to permit 15 native-born women to leave their homeland and join their husbands in England adds ' to the Soviet enigma and provides one more source of British-Russian tension. The British husbands, who married the Russian women while on military or diplomatic duty, have tried every conceivable approach, even petitioning the Presidium to have their wives leave Russia. The British government, including King George himself. has backed them. The answer through Molotov and Vishinsky, has been a consistent “No.” The only explanation has been that it • is Soviet “policy.” Irony was added I recently when the ten childless wives in the group were pressed for the S2OO tax levied on all chllds less USSR families. The women 5 cannot raise the money, nor can 1 their husbands get it to them l through existing Russian-English r barriers.

I oxygen also has a local, beneficial effect on the lining membranes of the affected tissues. Drs. Godinez and Infante have employed the treatment in acute infections of the sinuses, which are air spaces connected with the nose. Three daily treatments were employed, after which treatment the patient was advised to gargle with some mild solution in order to prevent local irritation of the throat. In forty cases of acute sinus infection, an average of twelve treatments were employed. In chronic sinus infection, it was felt that if after twelve treatments no improvement occurs, the use of the aerosol penicillin should be stopped. Acute infections of the throat, the larynx or voice-box, and the windpipe, also seem to respond satisfactorily to the aerosol penicillin. Chronic infections are not benefited to as great an extent as are acute infections. However, both acute and chronic bronchitis or inflammation*of the tubes in the lungs, were helped with the aerosol penicillin method of treatment. It was found that in the acute infections the temperature tended to become normal after the first few treatments .coughing became less severe and the symptoms improved. The treatment with aerosol penicillin is easily carried out and quickly brings improvement in respiratory infecfions.

CHAPTER NINETEEN IT WAS a handsome car, a 1947 model, of course—Mrs. Dillinghast would know how to possess herself of a 1947 model car, no matter who else might find It difficult A middle-aged man in a well-tailored uniform stood holding the door for Karen and her mother. “Good afternoon, Miss Prentice,” he said, and his eyes had a slightly dazed look as they took in her garb. I “Good afternoon, Martin. You’re Looking fit,” said Gail cheerfully. The chauffeur struggled to keep the shock out of his eyes at sight of her and swallowed before he answered, “Thank you, miss." Gail stood at the edge of the I drive as the big car slid backward j down to the highway before it could find room to turn. When she had seen the last of its gleaming i new paint and shining trim, she turned back to the house where 1 Kate stood on the steps watching her uneasily. “I’m afraid they were a little 1 distressed Gail," she said hesii tantly. Gail laughed. 1 “They were shocked to the i socks,” she answered cheerfully. “It will do them good, though.” “But, Gail, they probably think we’re mistreating you," Kate pointed out quietly, and there was honest distress in her kind eyes. , In swift compunction. Gail came to the steps and dropped down, * hugging her knees in her bare brown arms. 3 “There's that, of course,” she adB mitted. “But, Kate, what they „ think isn’t terribly important, ” is it?” ” “Isn’t it?” “Not to me,” Gail confessed. B “And that’s a little queer, I supv pose. A few months ago, Karen’s

opinion, Mrs. Dillinghast's—they 1 were important. I was scared to t death I’d do something they would < l " disapprove. I walked in fear and 1 ’ trembling of shocking or upsetting 1 c people like that I felt—well, de- < f pendent on their good will, I sup- < i- pose. But now it just seems amus- 1 e ing to me. That’s funny, isn’t it?” < “But your mother, Gail?” Kate < ' suggested quietly. Gail sobered and her eyes were, 1 • for the first moment, a little trou- 1 8 bled. 1 i “Ye-e-ees, I suppose Lissa, would i .. fling a couple of fits,” sh» admitt ted. “Lissa thinks the Dillinghasts i are terribly important. They are so B terribly rich and so generous with their invitations — though Mrs. c Dillinghast and Lissa are not pare ticularly fond of each other. But j Lissa always reminds me that the I j Dillinghasts can always be counted on for an invitation w’hen the go- ; ing gets rough." ; She looked up at Kate and now ; 1 a deep flush stained her brown, s slightly grubby face and her eyes 1 were embarrassed. “That sounds pretty rotten, ! doesn’t it ? Though I never thought ■ it was before,” she confessed awk--1 wardly. “We —Lissa and I—have ’ always counted our friends from the standpoint of people we could **

go and visit when we were unusually hard up." Kate said nothing, but her eyes were warm and there was something very like pity in their depths. Gail was not conscious of the pity. She was searching her own mind, her own heart, putting into words things she might never have said to one less kind, less understanding than Kate. “D’you know, this is the first time in all my life that I’ve felt secure, wanted,” she admitted, with what seemed to Kate an almost terrible honesty. “I feel I’m not exactly a burden; as though if I worked very hard and did my best I might almost be worth my salt! That’s a pretty comforting feeling.” She looked up at Kate and said quietly, “Maybe I’m beginning to feel the stirring of a desire to be independent Could you believe it, Kate?” "Easily,” said Kate warmly. “Thanks,” said Gail gratefully, and once more her eyes turned to the shadows of the giant trees that lay heavy in the setting sun above the small, dark red fragrant roses. “Lissa is a lovely person. Gay and completely charming; the perfect house guest. She can always be counted on to make any sort of party go. And people are always glad to have her. You mustn’t > think that she is a bore or that , she forces herself on people. She’s > not like that at all—truly she isn’t.” “I’m sure she isn’t,” said Kate r comfortingly. , “It’s just that—well, she’s never known how to be poor,” Gail went on slowly, trying very hard to . make her gay, lovely mother seem

as real and understandable to Kate as to herself. “She never makes the mistake of monopolizing the attractive men; she doesn’t mind entertaining the bores, the important men that hostesses feel must be kept in a good humor and that others don't like to bother with. Os course, *t isn’t Lissa’s fault that all the men at a party sort of gravitate toward her, but the other women seem to understand that too, so it never makes hard feelings. Lissa has always taught me that professional house guests can’t afford to antagonize a hostess.” She looked up swiftly as though she had said more than she meant to, and once more the color stained her cheeks. “I’m making her sound like a terrible person, and she isn’t, Kate —truly she isn't,” she burst out impulsively. “Os course she isn’t,” said Kate swiftly, and smiled warmly down at her. “She couldn’t be and have a daughter like you.” Gail beamed at her radiantly. “Thanks, Kate. You’re s-swelll” she said unsteadily, and blinked hard and sprang to her feet. “The others are coming. I suppose it’s too late to go back to work, so I’ll get cleaned up and then help with supper.” She went quickly into the house

ana Kate sat on aione on tn« veranda, watching Charles, Norah and Greg come wearily up the road. Greg was leading the faithful, patient mule who had plowed all day; all of them, the three humans and the animal, walked with the drooping fatigue of hard labor patiently endured for long, hot hours, and Kate, remembering Charles as she had first known him, gay and debonair and younger than his actual years, felt the old accustomed ache of pity in her heart Pity that she hid from him with all the skill of her love; pity that she would not offer him because it would be humiliating beyond endurance. She knew a small throb of wonder that Charles could be honestly happy despite the abject poverty of their lives; and the knowledge of his courage and strength of character that had made these bitter years bearable for both of them, strengthened her own courage and made her smile gaily as she rose to greet them. “It’s a sin and a shame,” Greg was declaiming dramatically as they reached the house, “that a man can’t come home from an honest day of toil without running the risk of being knocked galleywest by a car like that! Where do people get such cars, anyway?” "A big Cadillac, all shining new?” asked Kate. “Did you see it?” "Only just,” said Greg grimly. "I made the ditch with Mabel just in time to keep from being mowed down. Why ? Did the car stop here?”

Kate nodded. “They were friends of Gail,” she answered. “They stopped to invite her to go home with them—New York first, and then Maine for the summer.” The others stared at her, and Kate saw Charles’ tired face fall a little. But it was Greg who spoke. “So the duchess is busily packing her belongings preparatory to waving a gay goodby,” he said dryly. “She declined the invitation — without too many thanks,” said Kate, her eyes on Charles. “She assured them that she was happier than she had ever been in her life, and that she’d like to stay here the balance of her life—with her father, who, she said, was ‘perfectly swell’.” Her heart lifted a little at the delight that Charles made no effort to conceal. “Did she really say that? Well, bless the child,” he said happily. Norah said uneasily, “But, gosh, people with a car like that! They must be scandalously rich.” “Oh, that’s probably the old third-best car they just use for rough roads. Undoubtedly there are more in the garage at home,” Greg said dryly, and went on around the house toward the stable to put Mabel to bed for the day and see that she had the generous supper her hard work deserved.

Wallace Denounces James V. Forrestal 3 i Says Secretary Is ’{ War Group Leader 3 Baltimore, Oct. 15 —(UP) — Henry A. Wallace today denounced I secretary of defense James V. Forrestal as a leader of “the war group in Washington.” The former vice president said ’ that Forrestal and “his wall street crowd are out for World domination.” Wallace, at the same time, told a j news conference he believed that j former secretary of state James F. Byrnes had proposed “a definite program for peace” in his memoirs published today. “I feel the net effect of Mr. Byrnes’ book was for peace and understanding with Russia,” Wallace said. Wallace, here to address a progressive citizens of America rally tonight, said a definite “war group” had developed in Washington. Wallace said there were many more men in the “high command” of the state department, and the defense organization who he said were responsible for “offensive preparations for war’ b’ut Forrestal was the only official he named.
