Come Strains of Germs Can 'live With" The New Drugs

By HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, M.D. \ WE ARE learning that germs can develop ways to resist the sulfonamide and antibiotic drugs. This is partly due to misuse of these drugs. , We should not jump to the conclusion. however, that these great drugs are becoming “useless” or “weaker”—far from R. They just cannot be used by one and all in a haphazard fashion. , Many germs have the power to adapt themselves to forces which tend to destroy them. They can lie dormant or hibernate for long periods of time They can stand Intense he^t ? .£r cold. Moreover, they can change their habits of living in waj» that amount to basic changes •in their nature. May Develop Resistance i This is just what they seem to do when attacked by certain of the newer drugs. These drugs will kill off many of the germs, but special groups or strains will develop a definite resistance, which enables them to “live with” the medicine and survive. The result is that the sulfonamide or antibiotic falls to cure the infection caused by these germs. < Fortunately, scientists have found that germs do not have the same resistance against every type of drug. A strain that can withstand one drug may be wiped out by another. This gives the doctor away to fight the everincreasing resistance of germs. Sample Tested Before giving one of the sullOßamldes or antibiotic drugs to

About onertbird of the Red Cross fund has been raised, goal being $9,915 for the national organisation and the county chapter’s budget. Many of the solicit tors in the townships have reported and generous contributions have been made. With a little effort and eqnal financial support, the drive should go ove r the top before the end of the month. The Red Cross is you, so if you help the drive is bound to succeed. .; |r 1 o o i Sen. Taft and Harold Stassen are fighting it out with - heavy gloves in the Wisconsin primary campaign. The Ohio Senator is doing most of his punching against President Truman and Mr. , Stassen is delivering his: Mows against Mr. Taft. Both want to be elected and if that is their desire they should take a page from; Mr. Truman’s book. Criticism ofi administration policies has not won an election in 20 years and it appears that the principle GOP contenders, except Gen. ?Eisen-’ bower, are making their same mistakes again this year. Mr. Stassen did make a point in his argument. He said that be wanted his party to be more friendly to farmers and to labor. | o o Man Dreams:— i-I i, A scientist envisions a military observation station located in space some 1,075 miles above the earth’s surface, which could xdircle ! the earth once every two honrs. It would be easy to dismiss this speculation as so much fiction “ had it been made by some one other than Prof. Werhner von Braun, who was largely responsible for the invention and proving of the V-2 rockets. After the war . \ ■ i nj .; v he and other scientists were ■ : 1.. . . • ij 3 •i ■ ■ fr transferred from Germany; to America where he now makes his ; home. The station in space may be simply a wild dream which will never materialise. But the idea J shows the direction which the minds of men are taking oh their ■ flights of fancy. Recently radio , messages were relayed froth two points in the United States with . the moon as an interniedlary point. The dreams of man are no longer earthbound and moire and more it looks as if the; Whole universe may eventually come within his scope. i < , X

his - patient, the doctor may, at times, take a sample of the germs 5 and have it tested to find out the ‘ effect of these drugs. This will ; show which drug would fail and ’ I which would be most effective; J Sometimes these drugs actually j help one type of germ grow by ' killing off its competitors. ’ germs that can survive then have, ' more room to multiply For ex--1 ample, the same drug that kills. menlngitis germs may be helping ’ pneumonia germs and certain 1 streptococci grow to excess, ? ; i i ; = i r Inadequate Amounts ; H As I stated, some difficulties are , due to the misuse of drugs. Many ? I people try to take antibiotics and > sulfonamides “on their own” without a doctor’s direction. But they may take inadequate amounts, giving the germs an ’ easjvthance to develop resistance 1 against the drug. Later, when ‘ they heed that drug, even large ' doses are of no avail ’ It Is important for everyone to , realize that proper dosage and : treatment'are far from simple. Anyone who takes any type; of ’ sulfonamide or antibiotic drug without a doctor’s direction runs. , the risk of strengthening germs ’ in his own body. r QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS . : { Mrs. H. 8.: What are the sympJ toms of pleurisy? 5 Answer: The ihain symptom of pleurisy Is pain when breathing, often more severe when air is being taken in.

That the well-set table bears the least number of pieces possible. The over-burdened table that is cluttered with all sorts of appointments is in very poor taste, as is also the table that is overdecorated. Q. Is it proper to address a letter to a widow as “Mrs. Mary Williams”? A. According to best taste, no. Correctly,, a widow keeps her husband’s name for always. Q. Should a young woman rise from her chair when an elderly woman leaves the room? A. Yes; this indicates good breeding on the part of the young woman. -She should also rise when an elderly woman enters the room, n, „ o Household Scrapbook BY ROBERTA LEE i» o Sticky Drawers Rub a little paste floor wax on the slides and also on the lower edges of the drawers themselves and polish thoroughly.
